Setup guide

Connect ReachSurge to any MCP client

The ReachSurge connector is a standard Model Context Protocol server over streamable HTTP. Any MCP-compatible client can connect with OAuth 2.1 (interactive sign-in) or a ReachSurge API key (Authorization header).

Requires a ReachSurge Growth plan or higher · Read-only by default · API-key auth

  1. 1

    Point your client at the endpoint

    Use the streamable-HTTP transport with this URL. OAuth-capable clients discover the authorization server automatically via the standard .well-known metadata.

    MCP endpoint (streamable HTTP)

    https://reachsurge.ai/api/mcp/mcp
  2. 2

    Authenticate

    Interactive clients: complete the OAuth 2.1 + PKCE sign-in with your ReachSurge email. Headless clients: create an API key in Settings → API and send it as a bearer token:

    HTTP header

    Authorization: Bearer rs_live_YOUR_KEY
  3. 3

    Call the tools

    Call list_sites first to get website IDs, then any of the read tools — get_citation_overview, get_share_of_voice, get_authority_score, get_analytics, get_traffic_forecast, and more.

Frequently asked questions

Which transport does the server use?

Streamable HTTP at https://reachsurge.ai/api/mcp/mcp. OAuth 2.1 with PKCE for interactive clients, or a bearer API key for headless use.

Is the ReachSurge MCP connector read-only?

Yes, by default. OAuth connections and standard API keys can only read your data (citations, analytics, scores, forecasts). The single write tool — generate_page — requires an API key created with write access explicitly enabled in Settings → API. Checking job status with get_job is a read and works on any connection.

Which ReachSurge plan do I need?

The MCP connector is available on the Growth plan and above. OAuth sign-ins from accounts on lower plans are rejected with a 403 plan_required error, and API keys can only be created on Growth and Enterprise teams.

What data can the assistant access?

Only your own team's data: AI citations, citation overview, share of voice, authority score, first-party analytics, Google Search Console and GA4 metrics, traffic forecasts, and your site and page inventory. Connections are tenant-isolated and every tool call is recorded in your tamper-evident audit log.

How do I disconnect or revoke access?

In ReachSurge, go to Settings → API → Connected apps and disconnect the connection; access is blocked immediately. API keys can be deleted in Settings → API. OAuth access is also removed automatically on plan downgrade or cancellation. If you downgrade between paid plans, existing API keys keep working at the lower plan's rate limits (delete them if that's not intended); if you cancel entirely, they stop working.

Does connector usage count against my plan limits?

Connector traffic shares your plan's API budget and is rate-limited per call. The generate_page write tool charges your normal page-generation quota, exactly as if you generated the page from the dashboard.
