Buyer questions
What is MentionsAPI?
MentionsAPI is an API that checks whether a brand shows up in AI answers from multiple surfaces. One call queries the surfaces you select and returns structured mentions including position, sentiment, surrounding context, and cited URLs, instead of raw text that requires parsing.
Which AI surfaces does MentionsAPI cover?
MentionsAPI covers ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity through their official APIs in parallel. It also uses browser-based scraping to capture what real users see: Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode, Bing Copilot, and the live interfaces of ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity.
How does MentionsAPI pricing work?
MentionsAPI uses credit-based pricing. Monthly plans are $5/month for 1,000 credits; annual plans are $54/year for 12,000 credits granted upfront. Every API call costs credits based on the mode: quick checks cost 150 credits fresh (5 when cached), live UI surfaces range from 15 to 165 credits. Paid plans can purchase top-up packs anytime.
Is there a free tier?
Yes. Every new account receives 300 free credits on signup with no card required. These credits cover a few fresh quick checks plus several lighter calls, enough to integrate MentionsAPI into a project before deciding to subscribe.
Does MentionsAPI work with MCP?
Yes. MentionsAPI hosts a remote MCP server at https://api.mentionsapi.com/mcp with OAuth support. It can be added as a custom connector in claude.ai or Claude Desktop, providing tools like mentions_check, mentions_watch, mentions_discover, and mentions_compare as first-class integrations with no installation or key copying required.
