Free and paid prices are in both tables below. Use the filter bar to narrow them down; it stays on screen while you scroll. Prices checked on each vendor's own pricing page or GitHub README in October 2026.
Small, MCP-native servers
Independent projects built specifically as MCP servers. Most have only a handful of GitHub stars, a sign of a genuinely new, immature category rather than of anything broken. geo-score is the exception, with several hundred.

Where Vantage fits
Three things Vantage is built around, plus how to check none of this is a self-reported claim.
Diagnoses, not just reports
analyze_citation_gap diffs your own page's structure against the AI-cited winner for the same keyword - concrete gaps to close, not just who won.
See the winning shape
analyze_citation_structure (batchable, up to 10 topics) and analyze_citation_trend cover the shape and the trend line - no separate dashboard either.
Free, answered inline
No card, no dashboard tab to open - runs and answers directly inside your coding agent.

A note on the name
This Vantage (dev.vantagemcp/vantage) checks AI-citation visibility. It is unrelated to Vantage MCP from vantage.sh, a cloud cost-management company whose MCP server lets AI assistants query cloud spend, budgets, and cost anomalies. Different product, same name.
What is MCP?
New here and not sure what any of this means? Start with the basics.
What does MCP stand for?
MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard Anthropic introduced in 2024. It's the connection shown in the diagram above: one standard link between an AI assistant and any tool, instead of custom wiring for each one.
MCP vs API - what's the difference?
An API is a private line - built for one specific job, and someone has to wire it up by hand. MCP is more like a universal phone system: any AI assistant can dial into any tool that speaks MCP, without a developer building a new connection every time.
Does MCP make it easier for AI to find my business?
Not automatically. MCP is the connection AI agents use to reach outside tools and data - it doesn't decide what's worth mentioning. That still comes down to whether your content actually gets cited by AI search engines in the first place, which is exactly what Vantage checks and helps you fix.
What are some examples of MCP servers?
Think of MCP servers like apps for AI - each one gives an assistant a new skill. Dozens already exist, from small independent tools to features built into larger platforms.
