citation-intelligence

Pairs with the @automatelab/citation-intelligence server (12 tools across 6 namespaces). Queries which URLs Perplexity, Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Google AI Overviews, and Bing cite for any query — self-hosted, no account, no centralized backend.

Tool namespaces

citations.* — query-level: who cites what

| Tool | Use when | |---|---| | citations.provenance | Start here. Fan a query across engines; returns per-URL cross-engine consensus matrix | | citations.check | URLs cited by a single engine for a query (cheaper than provenance) | | citations.evidence | Extract the cited snippet — why a URL is cited, not just that it is | | citations.predict | Citation likelihood from public signals — no LLM fired | | citations.trend | Time-series citation rate + per-query gained/lost deltas | | citations.freshness | Recency score for pages an engine cites |

domain.* — domain-level: am I cited, what for

| Tool | Use when | |---|---| | domain.am_i_cited | Fan across all engines for a domain; cross-engine consensus. Default first tool for "is my site cited?" | | domain.cited_for | Which queries the domain has been cited for (from local cache) |

signals.* — page-level: citation signals

| Tool | Use when | |---|---| | signals.ai_overview | Google AI Overview eligibility check for a URL | | signals.answer_box | Featured snippet / answer box signals |

competitors.*, panel.*, audit.* — tracking and comparison

| Tool | Use when | |---|---| | competitors.compare | Compare citation coverage between your domain and a competitor | | panel.run | Run a batch of queries and aggregate citation results |

Default workflows

"Is my site cited?"

domain.am_i_cited(domain: "example.com", engine: "auto")
→ Per-engine breakdown + consensus. Pin engine= to reduce cost.

"Who ranks for this query?"

citations.provenance(query: "best n8n alternatives")
→ Cross-engine URL matrix with interpretation notes

"Why does ChatGPT cite them and not me?"

citations.evidence(query: "...", url: "competitor.com/page")
→ The cited snippet; compare against your page

Server setup

Claude Code (.claude/mcp.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "citation-intelligence": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@automatelab/citation-intelligence"]
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop (claude_desktop_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "citation-intelligence": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@automatelab/citation-intelligence"]
    }
  }
}

Requires Node 20+. Add your API keys as environment variables — each engine you want to query needs its own key (Perplexity, OpenAI, Anthropic, Google). See the README for the full list.
