·2026.05.26 00:20

Key point

An open-source MCP server has been released that tracks citation URLs from major AI engines like Claude and ChatGPT, and compares them with Google Search Console data.

Details

Citation Intelligence is a stdio MCP server that tracks which URLs Claude, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Google AI Overviews, and Bing cite for specific queries.

Unlike existing AI citation analytics dashboard services that charge high fees of $295–$499 per month, this tool is designed to run locally and economically by leveraging the user's own API keys.

Key Features:

  • 12 analysis tools: Collects citation data across various AI engines.
  • Cost efficiency: 3 tools operate for free using local caching, while the rest use the user's API keys (Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini, SerpApi) at a cost of approximately $0.01–$0.03 per query.
  • gsc_citation_gap tool: Combines Google Search Console data with AI citation status. This helps identify pages that rank high in Google search but are not cited by AI engines, aiding content optimization and editorial strategy.

Installation is available via the npx -y @automatelab/citation-intelligence command, and the full list of tools and source code can be found on GitHub.
