CueScout in ChatGPT
CueScout runs a hosted MCP server at https://mcp.cuescout.com/mcp, and ChatGPT can use it. Ask a buying question in the chat and it tells you whether your brand was named, whether your site was cited, who came up instead, and which pages the answer leaned on.
- Where the config lives
- Nowhere on your machine. ChatGPT connects to the hosted server at https://mcp.cuescout.com/mcp
What it does
The five checks are free and need no account. If you already use CueScout, connect your account once and ChatGPT can also read your tracked prompts, their answers, the pages your category cites, your To-dos and your site audit. It reads that data and cannot change any of it.
Setting it up
3 steps, and the last one proves it works.
Open the CueScout listing
CueScout is in ChatGPT’s plugin directory. Open the listing while signed in to ChatGPT and add it. There is no URL to paste and no key to fill in.

Adding the server by hand still works too: Settings → Security and login → turn on Developer mode, then Plugins → + and paste this URL.
Server URL
https://mcp.cuescout.com/mcpAsk a buying question
Try “Does AI recommend Acme for project management software?” The reply names the verdict, the competitors that came up and the pages cited. To read your own CueScout data, ask about a brand you track: ChatGPT offers to connect your account, you sign in on cuescout.com, and you approve it once.
What this does not do
- The free visibility check asks Perplexity by default, or ChatGPT if you ask for it, through their search APIs. It is a cold API call with no chat history, memory or location behind it, so it can differ from what you see signed in.
- Each person gets 10 free visibility checks a day. The site checks only read public pages.
- The account tools are read-only. They show what CueScout has already collected and cannot add prompts, change To-dos or start a run.
Questions
Is there an official CueScout app in ChatGPT?
Yes. CueScout is listed in ChatGPT’s plugin directory, published by Telman Gadimov. It connects to the same hosted server this page describes.
What can ChatGPT read once I connect my account?
Your brands, how often AI answers name you and each competitor, every tracked prompt with each engine’s latest verdict, what an engine said to one prompt and the pages it cited, the pages your category cites most, your To-dos with their evidence, and your last site audit. It cannot see billing or your password. The MCP page lists every tool.
Can I call the endpoints without ChatGPT?
Yes. The five free tools wrap public endpoints under https://cuescout.com/api/public: geo-check, ai-readiness, ai-crawler-check, structured-data and sitemap-check. They take and return JSON, need no key, and are rate-limited.
Does this need a CueScout account?
No. The five tools call public endpoints with no authentication — the same ones behind the free tool pages. There is no key to paste and nothing to sign up for.
What does it cost?
Nothing to you. Four of the five tools are HTTP fetches against the site you name. The visibility check puts a real question to a search-grounded engine, which costs us a model call, so it is rate-limited per IP.
Is any of this stored?
Each run keeps a short record: what you entered, a summary of the result, the time and your IP address, so the daily limits can be enforced. The privacy policy has the details. Nothing is added to a CueScout account. If you want the same checks tracked over time against a site you own, that is the paid product.
