Connect Assistant

Connect AI search visibility to your assistant with MCP

Foglift exposes 30 hosted Model Context Protocol tools to Claude, ChatGPT, VS Code, Codex, and Gemini. Authorize your account with OAuth, then ask which pages get cited, what changed, and what to fix next without exporting a dashboard.

Available on Launch and higher plans, starting at $49 per month.

Hosted MCP contract

One OAuth connection, 30 live tools

Connect Assistant is the plain-language setup for the hosted Foglift MCP server. The same endpoint can read account-scoped evidence and run supported actions after the client applies its own permission and confirmation rules.

Connect once and start asking in plain language

Setup begins inside Foglift, where the account and brand scope stay visible. The connected assistant keeps its own permission and review model.

  1. Choose your assistant

    Open Connect Assistant and select Claude, ChatGPT, VS Code, Codex, or Gemini.

  2. Authorize the account

    Follow the client-specific setup, sign in, and approve the account-scoped connection.

  3. Ask, inspect, and draft

    Ask a visibility question, inspect the dated evidence, then have your assistant prepare the recommended change for review.

Plan boundary

Choose the plan that opens assistant access

Launch includes new assistant connections and developer access. Higher plans add monitoring cadence, brand capacity, Buyer-intent Win Rate, sitemap scanning, and agency delivery without changing the connection workflow.

For engineers

Open the technical details when you need them

The connection uses MCP (Model Context Protocol), an open standard for giving assistants permissioned tools. The technical references document endpoints, authentication, commands, and response contracts.

Questions

Connect your assistant with confidence

What can I ask a connected assistant?

Ask about brand mentions, cited pages, sentiment, competitors, monitoring prompts, Technical Audit history, account usage, and ranked recommendations. The response is scoped to the account and brand you authorize.

Which assistants can I connect today?

Claude and VS Code use a one-click path. ChatGPT and Gemini use a copy-and-paste server path. Codex uses two terminal commands. Copilot does not currently accept the required custom-tool connection.

Is Connect Assistant a hosted MCP server?

Yes. Connect Assistant configures the hosted Foglift Model Context Protocol server at https://foglift.io/api/mcp. Its current inventory contains 30 tools for Technical Audits, AI Visibility, citations, sentiment, competitors, crawler and referral analytics, Search Console, recommendations, content briefs, setup actions, and recipes.

Which plan includes Connect Assistant?

Connect Assistant starts on Launch at $49 per month. Growth is $129 per month, and Enterprise uses custom pricing. Existing connections remain readable and revocable after a downgrade, while new connections require Launch or higher.

Can the assistant change my site?

The connection supplies account evidence and supported actions. Any file edit or external action still follows the permissions and review model of the assistant or coding environment you connected.
