CitedBy MCP server

Ask your AI tool to check whether a website can be found and cited by AI assistants and search engines. Free, no account, read-only.

Server address: https://citedby.eu/mcp (MCP Streamable HTTP, no sign-in). Page with the same instructions: https://citedby.eu/mcp-server

Tools

When a site refuses the crawler or does not answer, the tool says so. It does not score what it could not read.

Ask it like this

• "Check https://example.com/pricing with CitedBy and tell me what to fix first."

• "Can GPTBot and PerplexityBot read example.com?"

• "Does example.com have a working llms.txt?"

• "Which domains link to example.com?"

Limits

40 checks an hour from one address; a result is reused for up to 6 hours (1 hour for a page check). check_page is one page. A whole-site audit, with every page up to your plan's limit and the exact fix for each, is at https://citedby.eu/plans.
