Overview

Product, API, and MCP documentation for Citlyze.

Citlyze helps teams measure how their brand appears in AI-generated answers, which competitors show up instead, which sources are cited, and which actions can improve visibility.

Citlyze is not a one-time site score. A workspace tracks a target brand, owned domains, brand aliases, competitors, buyer prompts, and active markets across the AI engines included in the workspace plan. Current engine coverage includes ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, DeepSeek, ByteDance, and Grok on plans that include Grok.

The product app, REST API, and MCP server are hosted at app.citlyze.com.

Who these docs are for

  • Product users setting up a workspace, reviewing dashboards, and acting on recommendations.
  • Reporting users exporting read-only workspace data through the REST API.
  • MCP users connecting Citlyze to clients such as Claude Code or Claude Desktop.
