Use Citemark inside Claude
Ask Claude whether ChatGPT recommends your product, which tools AI picks in your category, or whether AI crawlers can read your site. Claude runs the check and shows you the answer in the chat.
Add it to Claude
- In Claude (web, desktop or mobile), open Settings → Connectors and choose Add custom connector.
- Name it Citemark, paste this address:
https://citemark.io/mcp, and under Authentication choose Sign in when needed. - Start a chat and ask one of the questions below. Claude asks before it uses a connector for the first time.
In Claude Code:

Check AI visibility check_ai_visibility
Reads the product's homepage, writes 5 questions a buyer in its category would ask, asks ChatGPT and Claude, and reports how often the product is named, who is named instead, which websites the answers cite, three fixes, and a link to the full report. Takes about a minute.
Try: “Does ChatGPT recommend linear.app? Check with Citemark.”
Get AI picks for a software category get_ai_picks
Lists the products ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude recommend most in a software category, with each one's share of answers and average position, from our public AI picks pages.
Try: “Which uptime monitoring tools does AI recommend most?”
Check AI crawler access check_ai_crawlers
Reads a website's robots.txt and shows which of 15 AI crawlers may crawl it, separating bots that fetch pages for AI answers from training bots, with the lines that let blocked answer bots in.
Try: “Can AI crawlers read stripe.com?”
With your Citemark account
The first time Claude uses one of these, it asks you to connect your Citemark account. New accounts start a free 7-day Pro trial, no card needed.
Start tracking a website start_tracking
Sets up the questions buyers ask AI about the website's category and the competitors to compare with, then tracks the answers over time on your Citemark dashboard.
Try: “Start tracking acme.com with Citemark.”
Get my tracking results get_my_tracking
For each website you track: how often AI named it in the last 7 days, the competitor named most, and a link to its dashboard.
Try: “How is acme.com doing in AI answers this week?”
Prefer the website? The same checks are free on the AI visibility checker, AI picks and the AI crawler checker.
Questions
Does the connector need an account?
Not for the first three tools. Tracking a website over time needs a Citemark account: the first time Claude uses start_tracking or get_my_tracking, it shows a Connect button. Sign in (or create an account, which starts a free 7-day Pro trial, no card) and allow access.
What can Claude do with my account?
Start tracking a website and read your tracking results. It can't change your plan or billing, or delete anything, and you can disconnect it in Claude at any time.
What does Citemark see from my chat?
Only what each tool needs: the website or category you ask about. We never receive your conversation, your name or your email address. See the Claude connector section of our privacy policy.
How fresh are the results?
A visibility check asks the AI assistants when you run it. A site checked in the last 7 days returns that report instead of asking again. AI picks refresh every two weeks, and crawler checks read robots.txt live.
Is there a limit?
Free checks have a daily limit shared by everyone. If it's reached, the tool says so; try again the next day or run the check on citemark.io.
