MCP server

Limits & what it can't do

The honest list — what the Analyze AI MCP server doesn't do, plus the rate limits and caps that keep it safe and affordable.

It reads your tracked data — it doesn't invent data

The MCP server answers from what your workspace has already measured: your tracked prompts, their runs across the AI engines, and the mentions, sentiment, and citations extracted from them.

  • If you don't track it, it can't see it. Ask about a topic outside your prompt portfolio and the correct answer is "no data" — the fix is to add prompts for it, which you can do right from the chat with write access.
  • Freshness follows your run schedule. Answers reflect the latest completed runs, not a live crawl of the engines at question time. You can trigger an on-demand run when you need fresh numbers.
  • It never scrapes the web. Sources, authority scores, and citations come from your workspace's citation intelligence, not ad-hoc browsing.

What's out of scope today

  • Writes are limited to prompt management. Creating, editing, tracking, and untracking prompts plus triggering runs — that's the full write surface. Brand Vault, competitors, content tools, team, and billing are dashboard-only by design.
  • Traffic analytics aren't exposed. Page-level session and engagement data stays in the dashboard for now; the MCP focuses on visibility, perception, and citation intelligence.
  • Strategy narratives come in fixed windows. The pre-computed narrative themes are available for 7, 14, 30, and 90-day windows. Custom ranges still get full metrics — just not the narrative layer.
  • One workspace per connection. There's no cross-workspace rollup; agencies connect each client workspace separately.
  • No streaming. Long analyses return when complete rather than progressively — expect a short wait on heavyweight questions.

Rate limits & caps

These keep a runaway agent from burning your quota (each on-demand run queries six AI engines in real time):

LimitValue
Requests per token60 / minute
Requests per workspace120 / minute
On-demand prompt runs~2 per 10 minutes
Prompt changes per request10
Evidence references resolved per request20

Hitting a limit isn't an error state — the assistant is told exactly how long to wait and typically retries on its own.

Plan boundaries

  • The MCP server requires the Growth plan; connections on lapsed plans stop working at the next request.
  • Prompts created over MCP count against the same tracked-prompt quota as the dashboard — the server checks your allowance before writing, so you can't overshoot by accident.
