Search is moving from ten blue links to AI-generated answers. ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews now answer questions directly and cite a handful of sources. If your brand is not one of them, you are invisible to a growing share of your market. Citerank shows you exactly why. It audits 35+ on-site and off-site signals that decide whether AI engines can read, trust, and quote your site, from schema markup and entity consistency to passage-level citability and Knowledge Graph presence. Then it returns a ranked fix list with ready-to-deploy schema code, so you are not left guessing. It is also built for what comes next: the agentic web. Citerank includes an MCP server and agent-readiness scoring, so you can see how well your site performs for AI agents, not just human visitors. Start free with the AI Visibility Score. Enter a domain, get a grade and your top fixes in seconds. No signup required.

MCP readiness

B · 88/100

Readiness is how fully this listing follows its protocol and how it behaved in our probes over 30 days. It is shown for reference and does not move it in search. Search order and leaderboards use the separate quality grade (here C+, 70.0/100), which weighs availability, conformance, p95 speed and descriptor. How the two differ

Valid MCP handshake	10/10	initialize and tools/list both answered.
Live MCP endpoint	23/25	Endpoint answers the MCP initialize handshake (5299 ms); very slow response -2.
Protocol revision	10/10	Speaks the current MCP revision 2026-07-28.
Signed descriptor	n/a	No MCP standard defines a signed server descriptor.
Uptime (30 days)	15/15	30/30 probes succeeded over 30 days (100%).
Tool declaration	10/10	Lists 10 tool(s) with descriptions.
Verified identity	5/10	Publisher declared (repository, package or homepage); claim this listing to verify domain control.
Freshness + modern flags	4/5	seen in a source within 7 days.
Auth declaration	2/5	Declares credential scheme: smithery_api_key.

Applicable criteria total 90 points, scaled to 100.

Responsiveness: Very slow (5299 ms; bands ≤2.5 s, ≤5 s, ≤8 s, slower; penalty only).

Measured 2026-11-11.

Nine criteria, the same as the A2A readiness score, read from our daily MCP probe (initialize + tools/list) and 30-day probe history. No MCP standard defines a signed server descriptor, so that criterion is n/a and the other 90 points are scaled to 100. Grades: A>=90, B>=75, C>=60, D>=40, F<40. Display only: search order uses the quality grade.

Compared with peers

Against 53,039 reachable MCP servers in our daily snapshot (2026-11-12 06:46 UTC). Display only; it does not change search order.

Readiness: Higher than 95% of peers; This listing 88 · peer median 81
Latency: Faster than 35% of peers; This listing 458 ms · peer median 326 ms

Where it loses the most points, and how to win them back

Verified identity −5 — Claim the listing and prove control of its domain.
Now: Publisher declared (repository, package or homepage); claim this listing to verify domain control.
Auth declaration −3 — State how to authenticate (an auth scheme, or that none is needed).
Now: Declares credential scheme: smithery_api_key.
Live MCP endpoint −2 — Answer initialize and tools/list at the declared endpoint.
Now: Endpoint answers the MCP initialize handshake (5299 ms); very slow response -2.
