Generic APIs Break Content Marketing Ops

Stitching together separate tools for research, writing, publishing, and tracking burns engineering hours and breaks workflows.

Months of Integration Debt

Connecting Ahrefs, Surfer, and Apollo via separate APIs takes months before a single piece of content ships.

No Single Tool Closes the Loop

Generic MCP servers expose raw search or writing tools but cannot run a full research-to-publish-to-index workflow in one agent.

Agents Break on Long Jobs

Fire-and-forget LLM calls fail silently on multi-step content workflows with no way to resume or audit what happened.

The fix

One Hosted MCP Server. Every Content Marketing Tool.

CitationBench exposes ~35 purpose-built SEO and GEO tools through a single hosted MCP server at mcp.citationbench.com/mcp — covering keyword research, content gap analysis, blog generation, multi-platform publishing, auto-indexing, and rank tracking in one callable tool layer.

Every Tool Your Content Agent Needs

Five feature areas covering the full content marketing workflow — research, production, distribution, orchestration, and multi-client management — all callable as MCP tools.

Find Content Gaps Before You Write

Content Research

Find Content Gaps Before You Write

research.content_gap.find compares your client's content inventory against competitor content and target keywords, returning prioritized gap reports your agent can act on immediately.

  • Competitor content comparison
  • Prioritized gap reports
  • Stored and listable results
Generate Long-Form Blog Content at Scale

Content Production

Generate Long-Form Blog Content at Scale

produce.blog_post.create and produce.blog_post.bulk_create turn keyword lists into full SEO drafts. Section-level regeneration and brief-to-draft pipelines keep output quality consistent.

  • Bulk creation from keyword lists
  • Section-level regeneration
  • Brief to draft pipeline
Auto-Index Every Published Content Piece

Publishing

Auto-Index Every Published Content Piece

Every produce.publish call automatically fires Google Search Console URL submission and IndexNow simultaneously. No manual indexing step — content is discoverable from the moment it goes live.

  • GSC submission on every publish
  • IndexNow fires automatically
  • No manual indexing step
Human Approval Gates Inside Agent Workflows

Agent Control

Human Approval Gates Inside Agent Workflows

Agents pause and emit awaiting_approval at any step. Reviewers approve or reject via dashboard or POST /v1/agent/invocations/{id}/approve. Every decision is logged and auditable — not fire-and-forget.

  • Pause at any workflow step
  • Approve via dashboard or API
  • Full audit log per invocation

How it works

From sign-up to first call in five minutes.

01

Sign up and get your key

An `sk_test_*` key lands in your dashboard instantly. No demo gate — start calling real endpoints with shape-complete responses.

02

Add the MCP server or hit REST

`claude mcp add citationbench https://mcp.citationbench.com/mcp` from Claude Code, Cursor, or any MCP client. Or `curl` against `api.citationbench.com/v1/*` directly.

03

Run a tool or invoke an agent

Every tool returns shape-complete demo data without auth, so your agent works before the user signs up. Tools across research, production, indexing, link-building, and agents.

04

Scope to a workspace and ship

Add `X-Workspace-Id: ws_***` to scope per client. Switch to a live `sk_live_*` key when you're ready. Same API surface, same SDK.

Why CitationBench

Built for production, agency-scale, and AI-agent-first.

~35 tools, one MCP server

Hosted at mcp.citationbench.com/mcp. Works with Claude Code, Cursor, Claude Desktop, Windsurf, and ChatGPT Apps. No self-hosting required.

Durable jobs, not fire-and-forget

Every long-running call runs on Cyclonic workers — survives restarts, cancellable, resumable, streams via SSE. Production-safe by default.

Multi-workspace from day one

One master API key, N client workspaces. Switch with a single `X-Workspace-Id` header. Per-client data isolation, bulk ops across all of them.

Demo mode out of the box

Every endpoint responds in shape-complete demo mode without auth, so you can build the agent before the user signs up.
