What is this?

• "Which domains are getting cited most in AI responses?"
• "Show me my top competitors by share of voice"
• "Audit my website for LLM-friendliness"

Features

• 📊 Brand Analytics — Visibility metrics, citations, share of voice
• 🏆 Competitor Analysis — Benchmark against competitors with sentiment analysis
• 🔗 Citation Tracking — See which URLs are cited in AI responses
• 📈 Trend Analysis — Weekly and monthly performance trends
• 🔍 Webpage Auditing — LLM-friendliness analysis for any URL
• 🛠️ Schema Optimization — Generate optimized Schema.org markup

⚠️ The Superlines MCP server is currently in beta and may experience instability or contain bugs. Please report issues at github.com/Superlines/mcp-server/issues.

Resources

• Superlines Dashboard
• API Documentation
• MCP Protocol Specification
• Claude Desktop

Support

• Email: support@superlines.io
• Issues: github.com/Superlines/mcp-server/issues

Prerequisites

• Node.js 18+ installed (Download)
• Superlines account with Enterprise plan (MCP access is Enterprise-only)
• API Key from your Superlines dashboard

Quick Start

Step 1: Get Your API Key

1. Log in to analytics.superlines.io
2. Go to Organization Settings → API Keys
3. Click "Create New API Key"
4. Copy the key (starts with sl_live_) — it's only shown once!

Step 2: Configure Claude Desktop

Edit your Claude Desktop configuration file:

macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

Add this configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "superlines": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@superlines/mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "SUPERLINES_API_KEY": "sl_live_YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Important: Replace sl_live_YOUR_API_KEY with your actual API key.

Step 3: Restart Claude Desktop

1. Quit completely: ⌘+Q on Mac, or right-click taskbar icon → Exit on Windows
2. Reopen Claude Desktop
3. Verify: Look for the hammer icon (🔨) indicating MCP tools are available

Step 4: Start Asking Questions!

Configuration for Other MCP Clients

Cursor

Add to .cursor/mcp.json in your project or globally:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "superlines": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@superlines/mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "SUPERLINES_API_KEY": "sl_live_YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

VS Code with Continue

Add to your Continue configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": [
    {
      "name": "superlines",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@superlines/mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "SUPERLINES_API_KEY": "sl_live_YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  ]
}

Global Installation (Alternative)

If you prefer to install globally instead of using npx:

npm install -g @superlines/mcp-server

Then use this configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "superlines": {
      "command": "superlines-mcp",
      "env": {
        "SUPERLINES_API_KEY": "sl_live_YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Troubleshooting

"SUPERLINES_API_KEY environment variable not set"

Make sure your config includes the env section with your API key:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "superlines": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/path/to/mcp-proxy.js"],
      "env": {
        "SUPERLINES_API_KEY": "sl_live_YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

"401 Unauthorized"

• Your API key is invalid or expired
• Generate a new key at Organization Settings → API Keys

"403 Forbidden"

• API access requires an Enterprise plan
• Contact support@superlines.io to upgrade

Claude says "I don't have access to any tools"

1. Restart Claude Desktop completely (⌘+Q on Mac, not just close window)
2. Check the script path — use the full absolute path, not ~
3. Validate your config is valid JSON:
   Copy

   cat ~/Library/Application\ Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json | python3 -m json.tool

4. Test the proxy manually:
   Copy

   export SUPERLINES_API_KEY="sl_live_your_key"
   echo '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"tools/list","id":1}' | node ~/superlines-mcp/mcp-proxy.js

   You should see a JSON response listing available tools.

Script not found

• Use the full absolute path in your config
• ✅ Good: /Users/john/superlines-mcp/mcp-proxy.js
• ❌ Bad: ~/superlines-mcp/mcp-proxy.js
• Windows: Use double backslashes: C:\\Users\\john\\...
