ai-brand-monitor-mcp: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

ai-brand-monitor-mcp CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from khadinakbarlabs/ai-brand-monitor-mcp. It costs 1,254 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

An MCP server that uses an Apify web service to measure how often a brand appears in answers from AI assistants such as ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity.

In plain words
What is it for?
Auditing brand visibility and checking a brand's presence in selected questions across those AI assistants.
Why use it?
It helps identify whether a brand is being mentioned in AI-generated answers instead of checking each service manually.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

ai-brand-monitor-mcp CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What this is

Standalone Node.js MCP server that wraps the khadinakbar/ai-search-brand-monitor Apify actor. Exposes two tools (audit_brand_visibility, check_brand_in_queries) so any MCP-compatible AI agent can measure brand visibility across Perplexity, ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini.

Relationship to the Apify actor

  • Upstream source of truth: the Apify actor at apify.com/khadinakbar/ai-search-brand-monitor. This MCP package only calls it via apify-client.
  • MCP also available without this package — users can hit https://mcp.apify.com?tools=khadinakbar/ai-search-brand-monitor directly. This repo adds npm-distributable / Smithery-distributable alternatives + branded tool names (audit_brand_visibility vs Apify's default ai-search-brand-monitor) for better agent ergonomics.

Template pattern

This project is a direct copy of the google-maps-scraper-mcp structure — same folder layout, same smithery.yaml shape, same server.json schema, same src/{index,server,config,apify,types}.ts + src/tools/*.ts pattern. When updating one, consider updating the other for consistency.

Architecture

  • Transport: stdio (@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/server/stdio.js)
  • Actor invocation: apify-client (client.actor(id).call(input, { waitSecs }))
  • Dataset projection: trims heavy fields (ai_response_summary → 280 chars, mention_context → 240 chars, cited_urls → max 8) so 20 items stay well under the 25k token output cap.
  • LAST_RUN_SUMMARY from the actor's key-value store is surfaced as result.summary for agent-level GEO score / recommendations.

Tools

audit_brand_visibility

Template-driven GEO audit. Required: brandName. Optional: brandDomain, brandAliases, industry, competitors, platforms, queryTemplates, maxQueriesPerPlatform.

check_brand_in_queries

Custom-question mode. Required: brandName, customQueries (1–10). Optional: brandDomain, brandAliases, competitors, platforms.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
