BrightLocal MCP Server and API by Cotlet

Get rank tracker report in BrightLocal

brightlocal_get_rank_tracker_report
Read-onlyIdempotent

Get rank tracker report in the user's own BrightLocal account from ChatGPT, Claude or any AI agent. Returns how to do it in BrightLocal step by step (screens, buttons, fields) and opens nothing by itself; then do it with the cotlet_browser_* tools in the user's BrightLocal Cloud Browser. BrightLocal's official API: BrightLocal has a REST API and an official MCP server, BrightLocal Anywhere.

A3.7/5.0
Behavior4/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations already declare readOnly, idempotent, non-destructive and closed-world, and the description adds real context beyond them: the tool returns instructional content rather than data, initiates no browser action, and is meant to be followed by Cloud Browser tool calls. The mention of BrightLocal's official REST API and MCP server adds orientation but doesn't tell the agent what to do with that fact.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness3/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The core sentence about returning step-by-step BrightLocal instructions is well front-loaded and dense with useful signal. The trailing sentence about BrightLocal's REST API and official MCP server is dangling context that never resolves into an instruction, cost, or alternative, so it reads as filler rather than guidance.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a parameterless, read-only, no-output-schema tool, the description covers what comes back (ordered steps with UI elements) and what does not happen (nothing opens). The one meaningful omission is the relationship to the sibling API-backed report tools, which would let an agent choose correctly without guessing.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

The tool takes zero parameters, which is the baseline-4 case; there is nothing for the description to disambiguate. The empty schema with additionalProperties false is consistent with the description's framing of a parameterless guide lookup.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb and resource ("Get rank tracker report") and then clarifies the actual output: step-by-step BrightLocal screens, buttons and fields, explicitly noting it "opens nothing by itself." That is much more informative than the title alone. It loses a point because it never distinguishes itself from near-identical siblings such as get_rank_tracker_report or list_rank_tracker_reports, which an agent cannot tell apart from the name.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Gives a follow-on path — use cotlet_browser_* tools in the BrightLocal Cloud Browser to actually execute the steps — which is genuine chaining guidance. However, it gives no condition for choosing this over the many similarly named report siblings, and no when-not-to-use case, so the agent must infer selection from the name alone.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
