CueScout in ChatGPT · MCP server
Ask ChatGPT whether it recommends you
Type the question a buyer would ask and CueScout answers inside the chat: whether your brand was named, whether your site was cited, who came up instead, and which pages the answer leaned on. The same server works in Claude, Cursor, VS Code and any assistant that can add a remote MCP server.
Does Perplexity name Notion when someone asks “what’s the best wiki tool for a 20-person startup”? Also check Confluence and Slab.

Add it to your assistant
The address is the same everywhere: https://mcp.cuescout.com/mcp. There is no API key and nothing to install. In ChatGPT you don’t need the address at all: add CueScout from the plugin directory.

Five checks, no account
These are the same checks as the free tool pages, asked from wherever you already are.
check_ai_visibility- Puts one buying question to a search-grounded engine and reports whether your brand was named, whether your domain was cited, which competitors came up instead, and every page the answer was assembled from.
check_ai_readiness- Eight deterministic checks: crawler access, llms.txt, Organization and FAQ schema, canonical and meta tags, server-rendered copy, and whether an about and a pricing page exist.
check_ai_crawler_access- Reads robots.txt and reports whether GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot or Google-Extended are blocked — including by a blanket rule nobody wrote deliberately.
validate_structured_data- Reads the structured data on one page: which types it declares, which blocks fail to parse, and whether the sameAs links that tie a name to a known entity are filled in.
check_sitemap- Checks whether the sitemap is reachable, parseable, declared in robots.txt, and free of cross-host entries a crawler discards.
Connect your account for the rest
Ask ChatGPT about a brand you track in CueScout and it offers to connect your account. You sign in on cuescout.com, approve it once, and from then on the chat can read what CueScout has already collected for you.
get_ai_visibility- How often AI answers name your brand and each competitor, with share of voice, over 7, 28 or 90 days.
list_prompts- Every tracked prompt with each engine’s latest verdict and the brands named instead.
get_prompt_answers- What each engine actually said to one prompt, and the pages it cited.
list_citation_sources- The pages AI answers in your category cite most.
list_todos- Your To-dos in priority order, each with its reason.
get_todo- One To-do’s steps and evidence.
get_site_audit- Your last site audit, failing checks first.
list_brands- The brands the account tracks.
get_profile- Which account is connected.
It only reads. It can’t add prompts, run a check, change settings or see billing, and you can disconnect it under Settings → Connections.
Limits worth knowing
A free visibility check is one question to one engine, asked through its search API. Nothing about you shapes that answer, and a brand missing from one phrasing can turn up in the next, so read a single result as one datapoint.
Each person gets 10 free visibility checks a day. The site checks fetch public pages and change nothing.
Questions
Is it free?
The five checks are free and need no account. Each person gets 10 visibility checks a day; the site checks only read public pages. The account tools read a CueScout account you already have.
Which engines does the visibility check ask?
Perplexity by default, or ChatGPT if you ask for it, through their search APIs. That means no account history, memory or location behind the answer. Your CueScout account covers the engines on your plan.
Can it change anything in my account?
No. Every tool only reads. It can’t add prompts, run a paid check, change settings or see billing, and you can disconnect it under Settings → Connections.
Does connecting my account work outside ChatGPT?
Not yet. The five free checks work in any assistant that adds a remote MCP server. Signing in to your CueScout account works in ChatGPT for now.
What do you keep from what I ask?
What you entered, the result, and an anonymous ID ChatGPT sends, so the daily limits work and abuse can be stopped. The privacy policy has the details.
Track it every day instead of once
CueScout asks your buying questions on a schedule and turns the gaps into To-dos.
