Building from Scratch Costs Months

Stitching raw APIs together for every SEO capability delays your agent and leaves clients waiting.

Months of integration debt

Connecting keyword research, content, indexing, and rank tracking APIs separately takes months before a single agent ships.

No purpose-built SEO tooling for MCP

Generic MCP servers lack SEO-specific tools — no SERP analysis, no AI citation tracking, no link-building pipeline.

Fire-and-forget agents fail silently

LLM calls without durable job infrastructure crash on restarts, with no approval gates or audit trail for clients.

The fix

One Hosted MCP Server. Every SEO Tool.

CitationBench's hosted MCP server at mcp.citationbench.com/mcp exposes ~35 tools across research, production, distribution, and agents namespaces — callable today from Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, and custom MCP clients with no self-hosting required.

Every Tool Your SEO Agent Needs

Five feature areas that cover the full SEO and GEO workflow — all accessible as MCP tools or REST endpoints from your agent.

Invoke Full SEO Workflows via MCP

Agent Orchestration

Invoke Full SEO Workflows via MCP

POST /v1/agent/invoke or call agent.invoke from your MCP client to run named agents with structured input, real-time SSE streaming, and approval-gated pauses — not fire-and-forget.

  • Multi-turn agent continuation
  • Real-time SSE event streaming
  • Approval gates at any step
Keyword Research Directly in Your Agent

Research Tools

Keyword Research Directly in Your Agent

Call research.keyword.research from any MCP client to discover, cluster, and label keyword sets with 2D intent × relevance scoring. Results persist for downstream production steps.

  • 2D intent and relevance labeling
  • Seed URL or keyword list input
  • Persisted for downstream agents
Durable Jobs That Survive Restarts

Job Reliability

Durable Jobs That Survive Restarts

Every agent job is backed by Cyclonic workers — resumable, cancellable, and streamable. Cancel via agent.invocations.cancel, resume via agent.invocations.continue. Nothing is lost on failure.

  • Survives server restarts
  • Cancellable and resumable
  • Full invocation audit log
Multi-Client Workspaces from One API Key

Agency Architecture

Multi-Client Workspaces from One API Key

Scope all MCP tool calls per client via the X-Workspace-Id header. One master key manages N client workspaces with full data isolation — rank tracking, content, and campaigns all separated.

  • X-Workspace-Id header scoping
  • N workspaces per API key
  • White-label-ready isolation

How it works

From sign-up to first call in five minutes.

01

Sign up and get your key

An `sk_test_*` key lands in your dashboard instantly. No demo gate — start calling real endpoints with shape-complete responses.

02

Add the MCP server or hit REST

`claude mcp add citationbench https://mcp.citationbench.com/mcp` from Claude Code, Cursor, or any MCP client. Or `curl` against `api.citationbench.com/v1/*` directly.

03

Run a tool or invoke an agent

Every tool returns shape-complete demo data without auth, so your agent works before the user signs up. Tools across research, production, indexing, link-building, and agents.

04

Scope to a workspace and ship

Add `X-Workspace-Id: ws_***` to scope per client. Switch to a live `sk_live_*` key when you're ready. Same API surface, same SDK.

Why CitationBench

Built for production, agency-scale, and AI-agent-first.

~35 tools, one MCP server

Hosted at mcp.citationbench.com/mcp. Works with Claude Code, Cursor, Claude Desktop, Windsurf, and ChatGPT Apps. No self-hosting required.

Durable jobs, not fire-and-forget

Every long-running call runs on Cyclonic workers — survives restarts, cancellable, resumable, streams via SSE. Production-safe by default.

Multi-workspace from day one

One master API key, N client workspaces. Switch with a single `X-Workspace-Id` header. Per-client data isolation, bulk ops across all of them.

Demo mode out of the box

Every endpoint responds in shape-complete demo mode without auth, so you can build the agent before the user signs up.
