### Description (declared)

# cited-mcp

MCP server for the [Cited](https://youcited.com) Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) platform. Exposes 73 tools that let AI assistants like Claude manage businesses, run GEO audits, generate recommendations, work a prioritized action plan, verify fixes via the Validation Engine, and create solutions — all through the [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/).

## Install

```bash
pip install cited-mcp
```

Or run directly without installing:

```bash
uvx cited-mcp
```

## Usage

### Claude Desktop (Custom Connector — recommended)

No local install required. Claude connects to Cited's hosted MCP server directly:

1. Open Claude Desktop → **Settings** → **Customize > Connectors**
2. Click **"+"** → **"Add custom connector"**
3. Enter URL: `https://mcp.youcited.com/mcp`
4. Click **Add**

Your browser will open for authentication on first use. See [Anthropic's connector guide](https://support.claude.com/en/articles/11175166-get-started-with-custom-connectors-using-remote-mcp) for details.

> **Requires:** Claude Pro, Max, Team, or Enterprise plan.

### Claude Desktop (Developer Config — alternative)

If Custom Connectors aren't available, use the developer config with `mcp-remote`:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cited": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["mcp-remote", "https://mcp.youcited.com/mcp"]
    }
  }
}
```

Add to `Settings → Developer → Edit Config`, then restart Claude Desktop.

> **Prerequisite:** [Node.js](https://nodejs.org) must be installed for `npx`.

### Claude Desktop (local stdio server)

If you prefer running the server locally:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cited": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["cited-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "CITED_TOKEN": "your-jwt-token"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

Get your token by running `cited login` and then `cited auth token` with the [cited-cli](https://pypi.org/project/cited-cli/).
