AI visibility API, SDKs, and MCP server

Everything in Elmo is available outside the dashboard. A REST API covers brands, prompts, competitors, analytics, citations, query fan-out, runs, and opportunities. Typed TypeScript and Python SDKs wrap it, and an MCP server lets Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, VS Code, or OpenCode read your data and manage prompts directly.

API reference

CONNECT · MCP
$ claude mcp add --transport http elmo
  https://app.elmohq.com/api/mcp
QUERY · TYPESCRIPT SDK

  console.log(brand.name);
}

What you can do

  1. 1Issue a key, or sign in

    Create an organization API key, read-only or read-write, optionally limited to some brands and given an expiry. MCP clients can also just sign in from a browser.

  2. 2Call it from code

    Install @elmohq/sdk or elmo-sdk and list brands, pull analytics, or create prompts in a few lines.

  3. 3Ask your assistant

    Connect over MCP and ask 'What are some AEO opportunities for my brand?' Add the aeo skill for a full measure, diagnose, fix workflow.

Data you can act on

Analytics
Visibility, share of voice, sentiment, position, citations, per-model, prompt, and query fan-out metrics.
Runs
Every prompt evaluation, with the full response and its mention assessments.
Prompts, competitors, and brands
Manage the setup behind your tracking programmatically.
Opportunities
The latest generated recommendations for a brand.
MCP tools
Read tools like get_analytics, get_citations, and get_query_fanout, and write tools for creating and updating prompts.

Use cases

  • Pipe AI visibility into a warehouse or BI tool alongside SEO and revenue data.
  • Let a coding agent audit why a prompt lost visibility and draft the fix, using your real data.
  • Keep prompts and competitors in sync across many brands from a script.

Why Elmo

  • Included on every plan

    API and MCP access come with every Elmo Cloud plan and with every self-hosted instance.

  • Scoped access

    An MCP client is only offered the tools its key allows, and no MCP tool deletes data or changes billing.

  • Generated from the spec

    Both SDKs are generated from the OpenAPI spec the API serves, so new endpoints reach them without anyone writing them by hand.

Frequently asked questions

Something we didn't cover? Ask the maintainers directly on Discord.

Does Elmo have an API?

Yes. Elmo serves a REST API at /api/v1 on every deployment, with Bearer-token authentication and an OpenAPI spec at /api/v1/openapi.json.

Which AI clients work with Elmo's MCP server?

Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, VS Code, and OpenCode have documented setup, and other clients that support remote MCP servers over HTTP work the same way. Sign in from the client, or send an API key as a bearer token.

Is there an SDK?

Yes: @elmohq/sdk for TypeScript and elmo-sdk for Python, both generated from the same OpenAPI spec as the API.

Does the MCP server work with a self-hosted instance?

Yes. The endpoint is at /api/mcp as soon as the instance is running. APP_URL must be the HTTPS address clients reach you on.
