AnswerixAI for developers
AI visibility API and MCP server for developers
AnswerixAI for developers is an AI visibility API and MCP server for your tracked AI search data. One ans_ API key lets you call the REST API from scripts and dashboards, connect Claude Code, Cursor or Claude Desktop to 24 MCP tools, and receive webhooks at your own endpoint, so visibility, citations and content opportunities flow into the tools you already run.

“API gateway vs service mesh” is the weakest at 21, while competitors average 52 on it. Want the open content opportunities for these three prompts?
Built for marketers, executives, builders, and developers worldwide.
How do you connect to your AI visibility data?
AnswerixAI re-runs your tracked prompts on the AI platforms every day. The same results the dashboard shows are available three ways, all authenticated with an organization-scoped ans_ key.
Point any MCP client at the /api/mcp endpoint with an ans_ key in the Authorization header. Claude Code connects with one claude mcp add command, Cursor with a few lines of mcp.json, and Claude Desktop through the mcp-remote bridge. 24 tools cover brands, visibility, prompts, citations, competitors, AI traffic, opportunities, briefs and site audits.

Automate AI visibility work from your own tools
The MCP server doesn’t only read. Its write tools run audits, generate briefs and move opportunities along, and their descriptions tell the model to use them only when you ask.
Can an AI agent audit a page before you ship it?
Yes. Ask for an audit from your editor or agent. run_site_audit uses one of your monthly Site Audit credits, returns an audit id straight away and finishes in about 30 seconds; get_site_audit then returns the total score, category scores, every signal it checked and AI fix recommendations.

{ audit_id: "5f0a…91bc" }
→ status "completed" · totalScore 64
→ categoryScores: structure 48 · content 71 · trust 69
The page scores 64. Structure is the weakest category at 48, and the first recommendation is to answer “how do I rate limit a public API?” in the opening paragraph.
Can you generate content briefs from code?
Yes. generate_content_brief writes a structured brief for any content opportunity (title, content type, word count, outline, keywords, competitor insight and call to action) and counts against your plan’s monthly brief allowance. update_opportunity_status keeps the board in sync as your pipeline picks the work up.

Built for engineering teams
One key, scoped to your organization
Create ans_ keys under Settings → API Keys. Each key is shown once, stored only as a hash and sees exactly the brands its owner can access. Revoking it cuts access immediately.
24 MCP tools, nothing to install
The MCP server speaks Streamable HTTP in stateless mode, so every request stands alone and Claude Code or Cursor connect with just a URL and a key.
A versioned Metrics API
/api/v1 is a curated, read-only surface for spreadsheets, BI tools and your own dashboards, with clear 400, 401, 402 and 404 JSON errors.
Looker Studio connector
Growth and Business include the Looker Studio connector: daily visibility, share of voice by platform, top cited domains and AI traffic, ready to blend with GA4.

Customer stories
Why do technical teams build on AnswerixAI?
“For technical products, the exact wording developers use matters. AnswerixAI has helped us identify questions around integrations, implementation and use cases that were missing from our documentation.”
“The API and MCP capabilities were a major factor for our technical team. We can bring AI visibility data into the workflows and tools our team already uses rather than keeping everything isolated inside another dashboard.”

What developers ask before building on the AI visibility API and MCP server.
It is programmatic access to the data AnswerixAI collects when it re-runs your tracked prompts on AI platforms every day. With an ans_ API key you can read visibility scores, trends, competitor comparisons, citations, AI referral traffic, prompts and content opportunities as JSON, or let an AI tool query the same data through the MCP server.
Any client that speaks MCP over Streamable HTTP and can send an Authorization header. Claude Code connects with claude mcp add --transport http and your ans_ key, Cursor with a url and headers entry in mcp.json, and Claude Desktop through the mcp-remote bridge, because its remote connectors only support OAuth sign-in.
The server exposes 24 tools. Read tools include list_brands, get_visibility_summary, get_visibility_trend, get_competitor_comparison, list_citations, get_ai_traffic, list_prompts, get_prompt_performance, get_prompt_volumes and list_content_opportunities. Write tools such as run_site_audit, generate_content_brief, generate_content_draft and update_opportunity_status only run when you ask, and audits and briefs use your plan allowances.
You create keys under Settings, API Keys. Each key starts with ans_, is shown once and is stored only as a SHA-256 hash. A key is scoped to your organization, so it sees exactly the brands its owner can access. Send it as a Bearer token in the Authorization header, and revoke it at any time to cut access immediately.
The /api/v1 Metrics API is a versioned, read-only set of endpoints for dashboards and BI tools: brands, visibility summary and trend, competitor comparison, citations, AI traffic, prompt performance and shopping cards. The /api/mcp endpoints mirror every MCP tool over plain REST, including topics, content opportunities, briefs and site audits, for scripts that do not speak MCP.
When you send a content opportunity to your workflow, your webhook URL receives an opportunity.sent POST with the opportunity, its prompt, source data, the brief, the draft if one exists and the brand. If you set a secret it arrives in the X-Webhook-Secret header. Requests time out after 15 seconds, and failed deliveries can be resent from the dashboard.
MCP and API access are included on Starter, Growth and Business. Plan allowances still apply to calls that create work, such as site audits and content briefs, and Growth and Business add the Looker Studio connector. Starter and Growth track 50 prompts for one brand, Business 200 prompts across four brands, and every plan starts with a 14-day free trial.
Growth and Business track ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, Grok, Google AI Mode and Google AI Overviews every day, and Starter tracks ChatGPT and Perplexity. Claude Code, Cursor and Claude Desktop appear on this page as MCP clients that read your data, not as AI platforms whose answers are tracked.
