How it works

Three steps take a buyer's prompt to a citation result.

1. Choose the prompt and your domains

   Pass the prompt a buyer would ask and 1 to 10 target domains.

2. Run the check

   citation_tracker_check_perplexity sends the prompt to Perplexity live, on the sonar model with low search context.

3. Read the result

   You get the cited status, citation count, cited domains, and Perplexity's related questions.

citation-tracker measures whether an engine cites a domain right now. It doesn't predict future citations or explain why an engine picked one source over another.

Tools

One check tool and two tools for monitors that already exist. A prompt goes in as text: citation-tracker never fetches a URL for you.

TOOL	WHAT IT RETURNS
citation_tracker_check_perplexity	Whether Perplexity cites your target domains for one prompt: cited status, citation count, cited domains, model, and related questions.
citation_tracker_monitor_status	The status of an existing monitor. New monitors are closed.
citation_tracker_monitor_cancel	Cancels an existing monitor.

Limits

Every check is free. Daily caps keep the Perplexity bill bounded.

LIMIT	VALUE
Prompts per call	1
Target domains per call	1 to 10
Prompt length	up to 4,000 characters
Checks per caller	5 per UTC day
Checks across all callers	200 per UTC day

Connect

Point any MCP client at the endpoint over streamable HTTP. You need no key.

Check with curl

CURL / CITATION_TRACKER_CHECK_PERPLEXITY

curl -sS https://citation-tracker.pixelcove.co/mcp \
  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
  -H 'accept: application/json, text/event-stream' \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,
       "method":"tools/call",
       "params":{"name":"citation_tracker_check_perplexity",
         "arguments":{"prompt":"best headless CMS for a Shopify storefront",
           "targets":["example.com"]}}}'

You get back Perplexity's cited status, count, and domains for that one prompt.
