Surva.ai MCP server

Ask Claude or ChatGPT how AI search sees your brand.

Connect your AI assistant to Surva.ai and get answers from your own tracking: where ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini and Google AI recommend you, who they recommend instead, which sources they cite, and what your competitors are doing in paid and organic search.

Included with every Surva.ai plan. Works with any remote MCP client.

Why does ChatGPT recommend Pipedrive instead of us for "best CRM for small agencies"?
get_prompt_details get_citations get_competitor_ads

ChatGPT names Pipedrive first in 4 of its last 5 answers and cites two review roundups you are not in. Perplexity and Claude mention you, but in position 3.

Pipedrive also started a Google ad on this search 9 days ago with the headline "CRM built for agencies".

Next step: get listed in the two cited roundups and publish an agency-focused comparison page.

What is the Surva.ai MCP server?

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is the open standard AI assistants use to connect to outside tools and data. The Surva.ai MCP server gives assistants like Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and VS Code secure, read-only access to your AI visibility tracking, so you can ask questions, build reports and plan content in the assistant you already use, with answers drawn from your real data instead of guesses.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Surva.ai MCP server?

It is a remote Model Context Protocol server at https://app.surva.ai/mcp. It lets AI assistants such as Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and VS Code read your Surva.ai data: AI visibility across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini and Google AI Overviews, tracked prompts, competitors, citations, Google ads, organic rankings and AI referral traffic.

Does the MCP server cost extra?

No. The MCP server is included with every Surva.ai plan, including the 7-day free trial. Daily tool call allowances scale with your plan.

Which AI assistants work with it?

Any client that supports remote MCP servers over Streamable HTTP, including Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. Clients that support OAuth connect by signing in; others can use a personal access token.

Can the assistant change my account?

Only if you allow it. Connections are read-only by default. If you tick Allow changes, the assistant can add prompts and competitors, which count toward your plan limits. It cannot delete data or see billing or team settings.

Does it run new AI queries or use my credits?

No. Tools read the data Surva.ai has already collected on its regular refresh schedule, so answers match your dashboard and do not use article credits or trigger new scans.

Can agencies limit access to one client?

Yes. When you connect, choose all brands in an account or a single brand. Every connection is listed in Settings, AI assistants, where you can disconnect it at any time.

How is it different from MCP servers that only track AI answers?

Surva.ai combines AI answers with paid search ads, organic rankings, citations and AI referral traffic, so your assistant can connect a drop in ChatGPT mentions to a competitor's new ads or a ranking change in the same conversation.
