Sightkick for AI agents
This page is written for LLMs and AI agents. Human? Start at the MCP server page, or the friendly version of the whole product at sightkick.so.
What Sightkick is
Sightkick is an SEO/AEO (AI-search optimization) autopilot for websites. It researches the keywords and buyer prompts a site should win, writes and publishes articles on a daily calendar, tracks how AI engines (ChatGPT, Gemini, Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode) answer those prompts, finds the off-page pages those answers cite and pitches for a place on them, and proves outcomes with Google Search Console data. It runs fully autonomously, and it is also agent-operable: your agent can drive or supervise everything the autopilot does.
How to connect
Sightkick ships a remote MCP server (streamable HTTP, OAuth 2.1 with dynamic client registration). One OAuth grant is bound to one workspace (one website) – the consent screen carries a workspace selector. The user needs a Sightkick account, and agent access is included in the plan, never an add-on or a separate tier.

What your agent can do
- Read the truth:
get_workspace(the connected website, its engines, locale and Search Console state – the frame every other read sits in),get_search_metrics(clicks, impressions, CTR, position – real Search Console data),get_visibility_summary/list_tracked_prompts/get_tracked_prompt/get_ai_answer/list_cited_sources/list_visibility_gaps(how ChatGPT, Gemini, Google AI Overviews and AI Mode answer the tracked buyer prompts: mentions, citations, recommendations, competitors, cited sources, gaps, full stored answers),list_competitors(the tracked rivals, whether each saved domain is really theirs, and the brands the engines name that nobody tracks yet),list_keywords,research_keywords/competitor_keywords/gap_keywords/get_serp(live keyword research on the workspace’s monthly allowance),list_articles,get_calendar,list_connections,list_outreach(the off-page ledger),list_backlinks(every watched link, where it came from and its verdict),list_directories(the directories to be listed on, ranked by how often AI cites them, with each form pre-written),list_actions(the owner’s to-do list),list_opportunities/list_improvement_results(Improvements: the week’s small changes to published pages, and how each did),list_activity. - Write content yourself (BYO writing):
create_article_draftandupdate_articleaccept your own clean semantic HTML – your model writes on the user’s subscription, Sightkick provides the rails. Grade every draft withscore_article(four pillars: answers the search, says something new, can be trusted, easy to quote – plus a checklist of the specific things to fix) and iterate until the checklist is clear and the score is 80+. - Or delegate to the autopilot:
generate_articleruns Sightkick’s staged pipeline (research → outline → draft → judge → revise → media, takes minutes, pollget_article). - Operate:
queue_article/unqueue_article,reschedule_article,publish_article(to the connected CMS, requiresconfirm: trueunless the workspace runs full-auto),set_autopilot_mode(the writing dial),request_action(order an article from the pipeline),complete_action/skip_action,approve_opportunity/skip_opportunity/unqueue_improvement/restore_opportunity/undo_improvement/redo_improvement(requiresconfirm: true) /set_improvements_mode(Improvements: Automatic or Ask me first),track_prompt/retire_prompt(the tracked panel),track_competitor/untrack_competitor(requiresconfirm: true) /set_competitor_domain(the rivals on the leaderboard),save_keywords(bank researched keywords into the pool),approve_prospect/send_prospect(requiresconfirm: true) /dismiss_prospect/run_prospect_discovery/add_prospect(the Backlinks workbench – the workspace’s inbox does the sending, the owner’s own or the managed inbox add-on, and on the free trial pitches are drafted and nothing is sent),search_guidancefor Sightkick’s SEO/AEO methodology.
Every write is logged to the workspace’s activity feed, attributed to your agent – the user always sees what you did.
Rules that keep users safe
confirm: trueon publishing must represent real user approval, never an automatic retry.- Generation is capped (one in flight per workspace, and the plan’s monthly article budget), scoring 25/day, writes 20/hour per workspace.
- Turning the writing dial UP –
set_autopilot_modeto a more autonomous position – requiresconfirm: truetoo. Turning it down never does. - No invented facts in content: Sightkick’s scoring punishes unsourced claims and thin rewrites of what already ranks – its anti-slop stance is enforced, not aspirational.
