You want to ask your AI Peekaboo data questions in plain language, or automate bulk work like creating dozens of prompts at once, directly from Claude or Cursor, instead of clicking through the dashboard. (ChatGPT and Codex connect through the API directly; see "Other AI tools" below.) MCP is the bridge that lets those tools reach your data over the same API key you would use for the REST API, so the answers come from your real account.
One connection exposes your Peekaboo visibility data to the assistants your team already works in.
What this gets you
AI Peekaboo runs an MCP server that lets Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible AI client connect straight to your own workspace data using your API key. Once connected, you can ask it things like "what's our visibility score this month" or "which competitors are outranking us on our commercial prompts" and get real answers pulled live from your account, not guesses.
13 tools are available today, 11 reads and 2 writes. With a read-only key, you get the 11 reads, so you can:
- Pull brand and visibility data
- Read competitor data
- List cited sources and URLs
- Read prompts and prompt detail
- Check your API rate-limit status
- Get recommended prompts
With a read+write key, you can also:
- Add new prompts
- Add new competitors
Setting it up
- Generate an API key from
Settings → Integrationsin AI Peekaboo. Use a read+write key if you want to create prompts or competitors through the connection, or a read-only key if you just want to query data. - Add AI Peekaboo as an MCP server in your client of choice (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, or Cursor), pointing it at AI Peekaboo's MCP endpoint and passing your API key as an environment variable.
- Restart or reload the client so it picks up the new server.
- Ask it a question about your brand to confirm the connection works.
Setting environment variables for MCP tends to need more care on Windows than on Mac.
Practical ways people use this
- Bulk-creating prompts and competitors. The dashboard UI is built for adding one at a time. If you're filling out a new brand with dozens of prompts and a full competitor set, connecting through MCP with a read+write key and asking Claude or Cursor to create them in bulk is dramatically faster than doing it by hand. Brands themselves aren't creatable over MCP, so set the brand up in the dashboard first, then point the connection at it.
- Building custom client reports. Agencies use the same connection to pull live data into a custom report format, whether that's a one-off summary or a repeatable template you reuse per client.
Other AI tools
ChatGPT and Codex can also connect to AI Peekaboo's API directly and work the same way, using your API key.
Gemini does not have a native app integration today. If you're working in Gemini, use CSV export from the dashboard as your workaround instead.
