MCP support
The Recomma MCP server connects to Recomma data and can be set up from the CLI with `npx recomma mcp claude`. The README says it can connect to Claude, Codex, Cursor, and VS Code.
Configuration
Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.

What is in here
| What it does | |
|---|---|
packages/recomma | npx recomma: a CLI and a typed TypeScript SDK for the Recomma API. Read visibility, share of voice and cited sources from a terminal or a script, and connect the MCP server to Claude, Codex, Cursor or VS Code in one command. |
extension | AI Answer Sources, a Chrome extension. Open it on a ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini or Google AI Mode answer and it lists every source the answer links to, grouped by domain, with your own site highlighted. |
Why the sources an answer shows matter
An AI answer is assembled from the pages the engine retrieves, and the pages it cites are the ones a reader can click. In our study of 100 buying questions, each asked in ChatGPT's interface and through its API with search, the cited pages overlapped only 8% of the time, and the interface cited 7.8 domains per answer to the API's 3.2. A tool that only calls the API misses most of what people are actually shown.
The extension shows you one answer as a reader sees it. Recomma does the same thing for every question in your category, on every engine, every day, with the sample size beside every figure.
Quick start
# Connect Recomma to your AI assistant (Claude Code shown)
npx recomma mcp claude
# Or read your figures directly (REST API, Scale plan)

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
