MCP server for LightSpot.ai — run SEO and AI-visibility audits, read their results and our experts' reports, and import editorial calendars from any MCP client (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, …).
It wraps the LightSpot public API (/v1) as MCP tools, so an AI assistant can "audit this site and tell me why ChatGPT doesn't cite it" in one step.
Requirements
A LightSpot API key (lspai_live_…) — create one in LightSpot → Integrations → API keys. API access is included in the Eclat and Zenith plans.
Node.js ≥ 18 (run on demand via npx, nothing to install globally).
Setup
Add the server to your MCP client config and set your API key:
Claude Code → claude mcp add or your project's .mcp.json
Cursor → ~/.cursor/mcp.json
Environment variables
Variable
Required
Description
LIGHTSPOT_API_KEY
yes
Your API key (lspai_live_…).
LIGHTSPOT_BASE_URL
no
Override the API base URL (defaults to https://lightspot.ai). For self-hosted/testing only.
Claude plugin
The plugin/ folder packages this server as a Claude plugin: it pins @lightspot/mcp, asks for your API key once and stores it in your system's secure credential store, and adds an ai-visibility-audit skill. See plugin/README.md.
Tools
Tool
What it does
audit_and_wait
Run an audit on a URL, wait for it to finish, and return a summary (score, top actions, main issues). The one-shot "audit this and tell me what's wrong."
run_audit
Start an audit without waiting (returns the audit id).
get_audit_status
Lightweight status of an audit (PENDING/RUNNING/DONE/FAILED + progress 0–1).
get_audit
Audit results — a trimmed summary by default, or the full payload with full: true.
list_sites
List the sites in your team (with their latest score).
get_site
A site's metadata and recent audits.
list_site_audits
A site's paginated audit history.
get_competitors
Get a site's latest competitor analysis (detected competitors, tiers, citations, recommendations). Read-only — does not trigger a new analysis. Requires the Zenith plan.
get_expert_report
Read the latest report from our 8 experts (technical SEO, content, AI visibility, structured data, sitemaps, performance, visual, brand authority) for a site or a given audit: prioritized findings, recommended actions with steps, limitations and ready-to-apply artifacts. Summary by default, full: true for everything, expert to read one chapter. Read-only — does not trigger an analysis.
get_editorial_calendar
Read a site's calendar over an ISO date range, including imported slots and content already preparing, scheduled, or published.
create_editorial_calendar
Import or update up to 50 dated editorial slots. Idempotent with externalId; it does not generate or publish content.
Example prompts
"Audit https://example.com and give me the top 3 things to fix for AI visibility."
"List my LightSpot sites and which one has the lowest score."
"Get the full results for audit <id> and group the issues by severity."
"What competitors were detected for my site <siteId>, and what should I do about them?"
"Read the experts' report for my site <siteId> and fix what the structured-data expert recommends in my codebase."
"Create a four-week editorial calendar for my site <siteId> with two LinkedIn posts and one educational Reddit post per week, then import it into LightSpot."
"Show me everything planned or published for site <siteId> between 2026-08-01T00:00:00+02:00 and 2026-09-01T00:00:00+02:00."
Notes
Quotas (audits/month, pages/audit) and per-key rate limits follow your LightSpot plan.
Importing editorial slots does not consume AI credits and never generates, schedules, or publishes content automatically.
