Shruwd
Shruwd measures how a brand appears in AI-generated answers, correlates that with first-party AI-crawler logs, diagnoses why the brand is or is not cited, and recommends fixes that can be re-checked to prove movement.
Documentation
shruwd-mcp
A local MCP server for Shruwd. It lets an AI agent — Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, anything that speaks MCP — set up a brand, add the prompts and competitors to track, read how the brand appears in AI-generated answers, and act on the diagnostic findings.
You need an API key from the Shruwd dashboard (Account → API keys). The key is bound to
one workspace and acts with your role in it: reads need viewer, writes editor,
creating or archiving a brand owner, minting an ingest token admin. To work across
several workspaces, mint a key in each and add one server entry per workspace.

Tools
| Tool | Does |
|---|---|
shruwd_get_workspace | Plan, entitlements, usage, brands. Start here. |
shruwd_list_brands · shruwd_get_brand · shruwd_create_brand · shruwd_update_brand · shruwd_archive_brand | Brands. Creating one also creates its self entity and first measurement. Creating and archiving need owner. |
shruwd_list_prompts · shruwd_add_prompts · shruwd_update_prompt · shruwd_remove_prompt | The questions asked of each engine every cycle. |
shruwd_list_entities · shruwd_add_competitor · shruwd_set_entity · shruwd_remove_entity | The brand and its competitors, with the exact aliases that count as a mention. |
shruwd_run_measurement · shruwd_list_cycles | Measure now; watch the cycle. Results arrive over the following hours. |
shruwd_get_visibility · shruwd_get_visibility_series · shruwd_get_crawlers | Mention rate and share of voice with intervals, now and at every cycle close; verified AI-crawler activity. |
shruwd_list_answers | The latest individual answers: whether the brand was named and at what rank, the competitors named, the pages cited. Evidence, not a metric. |
shruwd_list_suggestions · shruwd_accept_suggestion · shruwd_dismiss_suggestion | Competitors the answers named that the brand does not track yet. |
shruwd_suggest_setup | Drafts ten prompts and up to six competitors from the homepage. Nothing is saved until they are added with the usual tools. |
shruwd_list_findings · shruwd_get_finding · shruwd_transition_finding | Diagnoses with a specific fix; mark a fix applied to start the recheck. Capped plans return the rest as a locked count. |
shruwd_create_ingest_token | The token and endpoint for shipping server logs. Needs admin. |
Every tool returns exactly what the API returns. Metrics are never bare numbers: each is
a point estimate with its 95% interval and n, or an explicit insufficient_data state,
which the tool descriptions tell the agent not to read as zero. Plans that cap visible
findings report the remainder as a locked count rather than hiding that it exists.
