Configuration
Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.

From the project READMERankControl
RankControl wins Google rankings and AI citations for your site: seven AI agents plan, write, and publish citation-optimized articles as native posts on your own CMS (WordPress, Webflow, Shopify, Ghost, Notion, Wix, Framer, and headless). They watch citations and rankings, refresh pages that slip, and draft link outreach for your approval.
This repo is the RankControl Claude Code plugin and agent skill. It teaches Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and any skills-compatible agent how to run a RankControl workspace from the command line: AI visibility, content planning and publishing, backlinks, repurposing, and reports.
Claude Code, as a plugin:
/plugin marketplace add rankcontrol/rankcontrol
/plugin install rankcontrol@rankcontrol
Any skills-compatible agent:
npx skills add rankcontrol/rankcontrol
Prefer MCP tools? Local stdio via the same npm package, or the remote connector with OAuth:
claude mcp add rankcontrol -- npx rankcontrol mcp
claude mcp add --transport http rankcontrol https://api.rctrl.com/mcp
Safety: publishing, outreach, and other publicly visible actions are dry-run
by default and require --confirm. Approval gates run server-side.

New to MCP?
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.
