Install LoudPixel MCP — GEO from Cursor & Claude Code

TL;DR: Add one entry to Cursor's or Claude Code's mcp.json. From then on, your AI agent can audit your domain, query 10 AI engines for citations, benchmark competitors, and draft answer-engine-ready content — all from inside your IDE. Pro tier ($99/mo) unlocks the full 8-tool MCP. Free metadata tools work for any account.

Why MCP-native?

Ahrefs and Semrush ship MCP servers — for SEO data. Keyword research, backlinks, rank tracking. Their MCPs were built for the search world that existed before ChatGPT.

LoudPixel's MCP is built for the search world that exists now. Your agent queries Perplexity, ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok, Claude, and Mistral directly — and returns the answer that matters: is your SaaS being recommended, or is your competitor?

Install — Claude Code

claude mcp add loudpixel --url https://loudpixel.ai/mcp

A browser tab opens for OAuth (WorkOS AuthKit). Sign in with your LoudPixel account, approve the agent, done. The MCP tools become available in the next claude session.

Install — Cursor

Add to your ~/.cursor/mcp.json (or workspace mcp.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "loudpixel": {
      "url": "https://loudpixel.ai/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Reload Cursor. On first call, Cursor opens an OAuth tab to authenticate against your LoudPixel account.

Install — Claude Desktop

Same as Cursor — add the entry above to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or the equivalent Windows path. Restart Claude Desktop.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is MCP and why does LoudPixel use it?

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is how Cursor, Claude Code, Claude Desktop, and other AI clients call external tools. LoudPixel's MCP is AI-search-native from day 1: your agent queries Perplexity, ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok, Claude, and Mistral directly — not through SEO keyword data. 8 tools at the Pro tier.

How is this different from Ahrefs or Semrush MCP?

Ahrefs and Semrush ship MCP servers, but they expose SEO data (keyword research, backlinks, rank tracking). Their MCPs were built for the search world that existed before ChatGPT. LoudPixel's MCP queries AI search engines directly — built for the search world that exists now.

What does the MCP cost?

Free metadata tools (list_engines, search_docs, get_doc, list_topics) work for any LoudPixel account. The 8 paid tools (audits, citations, gap analysis, ranking trends, etc.) consume credits from your Pro plan ($99/mo, 1,500 credits) or one-time Pack ($49, 150 credits, 12-month validity).

Do I need to be a developer to use LoudPixel?

No, but the MCP path is where LoudPixel is most powerful. A web dashboard is available for non-MCP users. For solo devs and indie SaaS founders who live in Cursor or Claude Code, the MCP becomes the front door.

What MCP tools are exposed?

list_engines (free), discover_competitors (3 cr), search_citations (2 cr), search_competitor_pages (2 cr), get_citation (1 cr), get_page_intel — 53-point AEO scan (5 cr), get_run_results (1 cr), analyze_gaps (8 cr), get_ranking_trends (3 cr), plus free docs tools.

What if OAuth doesn't open or tools are missing after install?

If the browser tab doesn't launch, manually visit https://loudpixel.ai/mcp/auth. If tools are missing after install, fully restart your MCP client (Claude Code, Cursor, Claude Desktop) — config is read at startup. For credit errors, confirm Pro is active or your Pack has unspent credits at https://loudpixel.ai/account.
