Permissions Found in Source Code

Found by scanning the linked source code. This listing connects to a hosted endpoint, so none of this runs on your machine: it describes what the server software does where it is hosted.

env_vars

Applies to the server that hosts this plugin, not to your machine.

HTTP Network Access

Connects to external APIs or services over the internet.

How to Connect

Remote Plugin

No local installation needed. Your AI client connects to the remote endpoint directly.

Add this to your MCP configuration to connect:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "dev-getcited-mcp": {
      "url": "https://app.getcited.dev/api/mcp"
    }
  }
}

GetCited MCP connector

Client-side pieces for connecting a coding agent to GetCited: the MCP server definition, a Claude Code plugin with its skills, a Gemini CLI extension, and a small stdio proxy for clients that cannot speak Streamable HTTP.

GetCited audits a site the way an answer engine reads it, tracks where it ranks, records which AI engines cite it, and files each measured problem as an action with the evidence behind it. It never proposes the fix: your agent has the repository open and it does not.

The service itself is closed source. Everything in this repository is the connector — transport, manifests and prompts — so you can read exactly what your agent is being told and what leaves your machine.

Connect

Create a key under Settings → API keys in the app, then pick your client.

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http getcited https://app.getcited.dev/api/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer $SEO_API_KEY"

Any client that reads a JSON config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "getcited": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://app.getcited.dev/api/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer ${SEO_API_KEY}" }
    }
  }
}

Gemini CLI

gemini extensions install https://github.com/bapierre/getcited-mcp

Clients without a remote transport (Claude Desktop, whose config takes a command rather than a URL) use the stdio proxy in src/:

claude mcp add getcited --env SEO_API_KEY="vseo_..." -- npx -y getcited-mcp

Variable	Required	Meaning
`SEO_API_KEY`	yes	The key from Settings → API keys.
`SEO_API_URL`	no	Endpoint override. Defaults to `https://app.getcited.dev/api/mcp`.

Without SEO_API_KEY the proxy still starts and lists the tools from a bundled snapshot (src/tool-snapshot.ts), so registries can inspect it; every call then fails with a message naming the variable. Refresh the snapshot after the hosted tool list changes with npm run build && SEO_API_KEY=vseo_... npm run snapshot.

llms-install.md is the same instructions written for an agent, so you can tell your assistant to set this up rather than doing it yourself.

What is in here

Path	What it is
`src/stdio.ts`	The stdio proxy. Forwards JSON-RPC to the HTTPS endpoint and nothing else.
`src/tool-snapshot.ts`	Tool definitions served when no key is set. Generated by `scripts/snapshot-tools.mjs`.
`Dockerfile`	Builds the stdio proxy, for registries that run servers in a container.
`.claude-plugin/`, `skills/`	The Claude Code plugin and its two skills.
`gemini-extension.json`	The Gemini CLI extension manifest.
`.mcp.json`	A project-scoped Claude Code server entry.
`llms-install.md`	Setup instructions addressed to an agent.

The tools

Sites (list_projects, add_project, remove_project, get_site_health), onboarding and profile (get_setup_status, get_project_profile, set_project_profile), the queue (get_next_work, list_actions, get_action, claim_action, complete_action, dismiss_action, run_audit), growth (list_opportunities, get_content_brief, list_regressions, get_page_history), rankings (add_keywords, list_keywords, rank_history, check_rankings), AI visibility (add_geo_prompts, geo_summary, check_geo, run_brain) and visitors (get_behavior_digest, get_page_profile).

Each tool carries a title and the readOnlyHint or destructiveHint annotation that matches what it does. Full documentation, including what every number means and the rules the measurements follow: https://getcited.dev/docs/mcp.

Registry
