For developers and AI agents
Use TopCited from your agent
Check and improve how AI assistants cite your brand without opening the dashboard. Install the CLI in a shell, connect the hosted MCP server to a chat client, or call the API directly.
CLI
One command to install, one to sign in. Every command prints JSON when piped, waits on long jobs with --wait, and shows the T-coin cost first with --dry-run.
curl -fsSL https://topcited.ai/install.sh | shirm https://topcited.ai/install.ps1 | iextopcited auth logintopcited brand list
topcited monitor run <query-set> --dry-run # T-coin cost, spends nothing
topcited monitor run <query-set> --wait
topcited monitor results --jsonIn CI or a headless agent, set TOPCITED_API_KEY instead of signing in.
Source and releases on GitHub →Hosted MCP server
Connect any MCP client to TopCited's tools: brand visibility, monitoring runs, gaps and share of voice, site audits, recommendations and reports. It uses the same account, plan and T-coin balance as the dashboard.
