How it works

Manifold gives your AI agent live marketing data. Your agent uses the data to write posts, replies and emails. You check them and post them yourself.

  1. Connect your agent. Add Manifold to the AI app you already use. It takes a minute, with no Google, Reddit or other API keys to set up.
  2. Chat with your agent. Your agent picks the tools. Manifold reads live data from Google, AI answers, Reddit, social, ads and leads.
  3. Get finished work. Your agent writes the posts, replies and emails from the data. You check them and post them yourself.
  • Never posts for you. Manifold looks things up. It never posts, publishes or sends anything.
  • Playbooks built in. Start a growth plan, launch, SEO or outreach job from Manifold's prompts, and your agent knows what to look up.

When to use Manifold

Reach for Manifold when a question about marketing, growth, competitors or prospects needs live data from outside the conversation: numbers from Google search, answers from AI engines, records of companies and people, ads from the public ad libraries, and posts and profiles from social platforms. It fits jobs like these:

  • Find keywords worth targeting, see who ranks for a query, and compare a site's rankings, traffic and backlinks with a competitor's.
  • Audit a site for technical SEO, and check whether AI crawlers can read it.
  • Read the user's own sites' clicks, rankings, sitemaps and indexing from Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools, once connected. These tools are free.
  • See what ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity and Google's AI answers say for a prompt, which brands they mention and which sources they cite.
  • Build a list of companies and people that match a customer profile, and find a person's work email.
  • See the ads a competitor is running, how long each has run, and what it promises.
  • Find Reddit threads asking for a product, and the top posts, videos, comments and transcripts on TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn and X.

The tools, by group:

  • SEO (seo_*): Google organic search: keywords, rankings, results pages, domains, backlinks and site health.
  • Search Console (console_*): Your own sites' clicks, rankings, sitemaps, indexing and crawl issues, from Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools. Free.
  • AI answers (aeo_*): What ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity and Google's AI answers say and cite, and whether a site is ready for them.
  • People & companies (leads_*): People and companies, and finding and verifying work emails. Every reveal is charged.
  • Ad libraries (ads_*): Ads running in the platforms' public ad libraries, by keyword, brand or advertiser.
  • Reddit (reddit_*): Posts, comments and communities: search across Reddit, or watch what appears in a subreddit.
  • TikTok (tiktok_*): Accounts, videos, comments, transcripts, followers and audiences.
  • Instagram (instagram_*): Accounts, posts, reels, comments and transcripts.
  • Facebook (facebook_*): Pages, posts, groups, comments and transcripts.
  • YouTube (youtube_*): Channels, videos, comments and transcripts.
  • LinkedIn (linkedin_*): People, company pages and posts.
  • X (twitter_*): Accounts and posts on X.

Do not use it to post, reply, send or change anything: every tool is read-only.

How to call it. Connect to https://mcp.manifoldmcp.com/mcp (streamable HTTP; OAuth, or an API key as a bearer token) and call tools/list. Each tool's description says when to use it, what it returns and what it costs. Most calls spend credits from the user's balance, and a few tools are free: pass dry_run: true to see the price without paying it, and max_credits to cap a call. The slower tools return a task_id; call get_task with it for the result. An agent that is not connected yet should follow https://www.manifoldmcp.com/setup.md.

Questions

What is Manifold?

Manifold is a hosted MCP server that gives your AI agent live marketing data. Connect it once to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or another MCP client, and your agent can look up Google rankings and backlinks, what AI assistants say about a brand, social posts and videos, Reddit threads, competitors' live ads, and companies and people with verified work emails. Your agent then answers in the chat with real numbers.

Does Manifold post content for me?

No, Manifold looks things up and never posts, publishes, schedules or sends anything. Your agent uses the data to write blog posts, Reddit replies, ad copy and outreach emails in the chat, and you check them and post them yourself. Manifold is the data your agent works from, not a scheduler or an autoposter.

How much does Manifold cost?

Manifold is free to start: every new workspace gets 500 credits with no card. After that you pay per call from one credit balance, with top-ups from $10 that never expire, or a Pro plan from $20 a month for 2,500 credits at a lower rate per credit. Each tool states its price before it runs, and your agent can cap what a call spends.

Which AI apps work with Manifold?

Manifold works with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Grok, OpenCode and any other client that supports remote MCP servers. Every client uses one URL, https://mcp.manifoldmcp.com/mcp, and one credit balance. In Claude, add the URL as a custom connector and sign in. In Claude Code, run claude mcp add --transport http manifold followed by the URL. Steps for each client are in the docs.

Is Manifold the same as Manifold Markets?

No, Manifold at manifoldmcp.com is not related to Manifold Markets. Manifold is a marketing data MCP server, founded in London in September 2026 by Jesse Sibley. Manifold Markets is a prediction market, and the MCP servers built for it let an agent search and bet on markets. This Manifold gives your agent SEO, AI answer, social, ad and lead data instead.

Do I need my own API keys for Reddit, LinkedIn or SEO data?

No, Manifold is hosted, so your agent signs in once with OAuth and uses Manifold's own provider accounts. You don't need a Reddit API app, a LinkedIn login, a DataForSEO deposit or an Apollo account. Clients without OAuth use a Manifold API key instead.

Can Manifold check whether ChatGPT recommends my brand?

Yes, your agent can ask ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity and Google's AI Overviews any prompt, on demand, and report which brands each answer names, in what position, and which pages it cites. You pay per prompt and engine rather than a monthly fee for tracked prompts, and a free check shows whether your site lets AI crawlers read it.

Where does Manifold's data come from?

Manifold fetches data live from specialist providers when your agent asks. Search, keyword, backlink and AI answer data come from DataForSEO; company, people and email data from Apollo, Hunter, Findymail and Icypeas; and Reddit, TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, LinkedIn, X and the ad libraries from the platforms' public data. Results are cached briefly, most for a day to a week, so a repeat question comes back fast and costs less.
