Overview

What is MentionsAPI?

MentionsAPI tracks brand visibility across AI search surfaces — ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode, and Bing Copilot. This MCP server puts that data inside any MCP-compatible client, letting you ask in plain English and get structured data back.

How to use MentionsAPI?

Connect via a remote server (recommended, zero install) at https://api.mentionsapi.com/mcp using OAuth or a Bearer token (API key). For local usage, run npx -y @mentionsapi/mcp@latest and configure the API key as the MENTIONSAPI_KEY environment variable. Set up in claude.ai, Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, or ChatGPT Plus using provided configuration examples.
