Paste one link. Everything else stays as it was.
Citely connects to your AI over MCP. This page covers what MCP is, the three actual steps, and what Citely deliberately does not do.
What MCP is, in plain words
MCP is a common way for an AI to reach outside data — like the charging port on a phone. Agree the shape and any cable fits. Citely is the cable plugged into your AI; the other end is connected to your product information and your market data. You do not need to understand the spec. You just paste the link.
Installing it: three minutes — pick the row for the AI you use
The flow is the same everywhere: paste the Citely link into your AI's connector settings, authorise with your Citely account, then go back to the chat and ask it to confirm. Here is where to find it in three common AIs.
- Open "Plugins" in the left-hand menu
- Add a marketplace and paste the link we gave you
- After installing, sign in with your Citely account to authorise
- Back in the chat, ask it to "confirm the connection"
- Use the plus button beside the chat box and choose "Plugins"
- Add plugin, paste the link, then Sync
- Under Connectors, press Connect to authorise
- Back in the chat, ask it to "confirm the connection"
- Open its plugin or connector settings
- Import the link we gave you
- Press Authenticate to finish authorising
- Back in the chat, ask it to "confirm the connection"
If you have two-step verification on, you will simply enter a code once more while authorising. Any AI you have authorised can be revoked at any time in your account settings.
One account can connect to several AIs at once, sharing the same allowance. If you get stuck, a specialist will walk you through it.
An example: a brand making Apple accessories
Say you make Apple accessories, mainly magnetic power banks and charging cables. Here is one conversation after connecting Citely, from the question to the finished draft. The screen is an illustration.
How to use it: three steps, and that really is all
No new dashboard to learn, no data person to hire. After three steps, choosing topics, producing content and seeing results all happen in the same conversation.
Paste the link
Paste Citely into the AI you already use — Claude, ChatGPT and others. Zero installs, zero configuration, no change to any habit you have. Once pasted, your AI has an assistant who knows your market.
Just tell it what you want
Give instructions the way you would to a colleague: "What should I write this month?" "Write this one for me." "Show me this month's visibility." "Add a tracked keyword." No command syntax to memorise — say it your way and it understands.
Get the results
The topic list, the finished content, the visibility report and what to adjust all come back into the same conversation. Want another tracked keyword? Say so and you get a quote on the spot. Changing plan is instant, with only the difference to pay.
What it is not (better said now than assumed later)
We would rather be clear up front than have you arrive with the wrong expectation.
In one line: Citely is an assistant that knows your market, produces content that gets cited, and shows you the results. Not a pile of features — a partner you can talk to.
Why this approach
| Using a general AI yourself | Hiring an agency | Citely | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Knows your market | ✗ general knowledge only | △ hands you numbers to read yourself | ✓ connected to your market data |
| Writes the way citation works | ✗ words that merely read well | ✗ produces no content | ✓ content built to be cited |
| Shows you results | ✗ | △ a dashboard you read yourself | ✓ a report in plain language |
| Integration | ✗ none of your data | ✗ several dashboards, several invoices | ✓ folded into one answer inside your AI |
| Cost | cheap and ineffective | 8–20× the price and still underused | ✓ results you can afford |
Hand the content you want written to a consultant who knows your market.
Three minutes to set up, zero installs, nothing to learn. Your first piece of content built to be cited can be produced today.
