How to connect Scope MCP to Claude or Cursor in 30 seconds

Scope TeamAugust 28, 20264 min

Scope is a remote MCP server at https://scope.online/mcp. Paste that URL into Claude Connectors, Cursor, ChatGPT, or Claude Code, add a Scope API key, and an agent can read your AI-visibility score, citations, and competitors without spending checks. Running a scan uses your Growth plan check pool (one check per tracked prompt). Agents draft fixes; they never publish to your site. AI visibility work is additive to Google SEO.

Endpoint: https://scope.online/mcp

How do I connect Claude?

Settings → Connectors → add custom connector → https://scope.online/mcp

Then ask: “How visible is my business in AI search?”

How do I connect Cursor?

.cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "scope": {
      "url": "https://scope.online/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer <Scope API key>" }
    }
  }
}

How do I connect Claude Code?

claude mcp add --transport http scope https://scope.online/mcp

What can the agent do?

  1. Visibility score + per-engine breakdown (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity)
  2. List tracked prompts and committed check burn
  3. Competitor share of voice and citation gaps
  4. Readiness check on a URL you already monitor
  5. Draft schema / FAQ fixes — never publishes to your site
  6. Track prompts and refresh scans (Growth checks; cost is stated first)

How much does a scan cost?

Q: Do reads spend checks?

A: No. Reads spend no checks. run_scan uses one check per currently tracked prompt. check_prompt spends exactly one check. track_prompt is free now but adds committed burn.

Q: Can the agent publish to my website?

A: No. There is no publish_fix tool. Agents draft schema and FAQ fixes; you apply them.

Q: Do I need to pass a business ID?

A: Yes when the account has more than one business. whoami.weekly_brief is the primary business, not necessarily the one you are talking about.
