Know if AI actually cites you.

What a real call looks like

A real response Vantage returned for this exact query, not invented numbers, just not re-run on every page load. The numbers shift as ChatGPT's answers change.

MCP tools

What Vantage actually does

The main tools your agent can call.

check_prompt_coverage

Which of up to 10 keywords actually cite your domain in ChatGPT's answers, and where the answer names you without linking you. Cited and named are reported separately.

“Out of everything we care about, where do we already show up?”

analyze_citation_gapDifferentiator

Diffs your own page against the winning answer for a keyword: concrete gaps to close, not just the winner's shape. As far as we found, the only tool on our comparison page that does this.

“What should I actually change on this page to get cited?”

find_citation_leaders

Who dominates AI-answer citations for a topic, and whether a domain is among them.

“Who's winning AI search for this?”

analyze_citation_trend

Month-by-month citation counts for a domain, so you can see whether visibility is growing or fading.

“Is our AI visibility improving?”

analyze_citation_structure

How the winning AI answer for one topic is actually shaped: list-led, sources cited, opening length.

“What does a winning answer look like?”

analyze_citation_structure_batch

The same shape-check across up to 10 related topics in a single call, so a content cluster gets analyzed together instead of one keyword at a time.

“What do winning answers look like across this whole topic cluster?”

New to MCP? What this actually means

MCP stands for Model Context Protocol - an open standard, introduced by Anthropic in 2024, that lets an AI assistant connect directly to outside tools and pull in real, live information instead of only working from what it already knows. Vantage is one of those outside tools: once connected, your AI assistant can check your actual AI-search citations on request, the same way it can already browse the web or read a file for you.

Open your AI tool's settings and find where it lists MCP connections (often a file named mcp.json)
Paste the block below in, swap in your own API key, restart the tool
Just ask it things like "check if my site is cited by ChatGPT" - no separate dashboard to open

Needs an AI tool with MCP support - Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and most others already have it, and more are adding it every month.

.mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "vantage": {
      "url": "https://vantagemcp.dev/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" }
    }
  }
}

This is a real, verifiable listing

Vantage is published to the Official MCP Registry under a domain-owned namespace, not a self-reported claim. This opens the registry's own record for it directly (raw JSON, not a styled page).

How checks work

Every plan is a monthly allowance of checks. Most things cost 1 check. A leaderboard costs 10, because it ranks the sites AI answers cite most for a topic, not just yours. Your allowance starts fresh each month.

What each plan's month buys, drawn to scale

Free30 checks30 keywords, or 3 leaderboards

Pro500 checks500 keywords, or 50 leaderboards

Scale1,500 checks1,500 keywords, or 150 leaderboards
