@lightspot/mcp

M8ven Score

MCP server for LightSpot.ai — run SEO and AI-visibility audits, read their results and our experts' reports, and import editorial calendars from any MCP client (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, …).

It wraps the LightSpot public API (/v1) as MCP tools, so an AI assistant can "audit this site and tell me why ChatGPT doesn't cite it" in one step.

Requirements

  • A LightSpot API key (lspai_live_…) — create one in LightSpot → Integrations → API keys. API access is included in the Eclat and Zenith plans.
  • Node.js ≥ 18 (run on demand via npx, nothing to install globally).

Setup

Add the server to your MCP client config and set your API key:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "lightspot": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@lightspot/mcp"],
      "env": {
        "LIGHTSPOT_API_KEY": "lspai_live_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
      }
    }
  }
}
  • Claude Desktop → claude_desktop_config.json
  • Claude Code → claude mcp add or your project's .mcp.json
  • Cursor → ~/.cursor/mcp.json

Environment variables

VariableRequiredDescription
LIGHTSPOT_API_KEYyesYour API key (lspai_live_…).
LIGHTSPOT_BASE_URLnoOverride the API base URL (defaults to https://lightspot.ai). For self-hosted/testing only.

Claude plugin

The plugin/ folder packages this server as a Claude plugin: it pins @lightspot/mcp, asks for your API key once and stores it in your system's secure credential store, and adds an ai-visibility-audit skill. See plugin/README.md.

Tools

ToolWhat it does
audit_and_waitRun an audit on a URL, wait for it to finish, and return a summary (score, top actions, main issues). The one-shot "audit this and tell me what's wrong."
run_auditStart an audit without waiting (returns the audit id).
get_audit_statusLightweight status of an audit (PENDING/RUNNING/DONE/FAILED + progress 0–1).
get_auditAudit results — a trimmed summary by default, or the full payload with full: true.
list_sitesList the sites in your team (with their latest score).
get_siteA site's metadata and recent audits.
list_site_auditsA site's paginated audit history.
get_competitorsGet a site's latest competitor analysis (detected competitors, tiers, citations, recommendations). Read-only — does not trigger a new analysis. Requires the Zenith plan.
get_expert_reportRead the latest report from our 8 experts (technical SEO, content, AI visibility, structured data, sitemaps, performance, visual, brand authority) for a site or a given audit: prioritized findings, recommended actions with steps, limitations and ready-to-apply artifacts. Summary by default, full: true for everything, expert to read one chapter. Read-only — does not trigger an analysis.
get_editorial_calendarRead a site's calendar over an ISO date range, including imported slots and content already preparing, scheduled, or published.
create_editorial_calendarImport or update up to 50 dated editorial slots. Idempotent with externalId; it does not generate or publish content.

Example prompts

  • "Audit https://example.com and give me the top 3 things to fix for AI visibility."
  • "List my LightSpot sites and which one has the lowest score."
  • "Get the full results for audit <id> and group the issues by severity."
  • "What competitors were detected for my site <siteId>, and what should I do about them?"
  • "Read the experts' report for my site <siteId> and fix what the structured-data expert recommends in my codebase."
  • "Create a four-week editorial calendar for my site <siteId> with two LinkedIn posts and one educational Reddit post per week, then import it into LightSpot."
  • "Show me everything planned or published for site <siteId> between 2026-08-01T00:00:00+02:00 and 2026-09-01T00:00:00+02:00."

Notes

  • Quotas (audits/month, pages/audit) and per-key rate limits follow your LightSpot plan.
  • Importing editorial slots does not consume AI credits and never generates, schedules, or publishes content automatically.
  • The full REST API reference lives at lightspot.ai/docs/api.
