Connect Knowatoa to Your AI Tools with MCP

We’ve wanted this for a while: being able to ask about your AI search visibility data without leaving the tools you’re already using. Knowatoa now supports the Model Context Protocol (MCP), which means you can connect it directly to Claude Desktop, Claude Code, ChatGPT, and Gemini.

Using it

Once connected, you can ask your AI assistant things like “How is my site doing in AI search?” or “What questions am I tracking?” and get answers pulled straight from your Knowatoa data. You can even add new questions to track without opening the dashboard.

Your AI tool sends the request to Knowatoa’s MCP server, we authenticate you, and return the data. There are no API keys or webhooks to set up.

Setting it up

Each tool has a slightly different setup process, but they’re all quick.

For Claude Code, it’s a single terminal command:

claude mcp add --transport http knowatoa https://knowatoa.com/mcp

For Claude Desktop, you add a few lines to your config file. For ChatGPT and Gemini, you paste the MCP server URL into their settings.

We’ve written step-by-step guides for each one. You’ll find them in the new Integrations section of our docs at knowatoa.com/docs.

Why MCP

MCP is becoming the standard way for AI tools to connect to external data sources. Rather than building separate plugins for each platform, we built one MCP server that works with all of them. As more tools adopt the protocol, they’ll be able to connect to Knowatoa without any extra work on our end.

If you’re already using one of these AI tools day to day, connecting Knowatoa takes about a minute and puts your visibility data right where you’re working.
