Use OLAB Assist in Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor (MCP)

What you get

• Read-only tools: list_sites, get_site, get_findings, get_ai_answers, get_score_history, get_changes.
• Works with any client that supports remote MCP servers over HTTP.
• The same data and limits as the REST API.

Before you start

• An OLAB Assist account on the Agency plan, signed in as the account owner.
• An AI assistant that supports custom MCP servers or connectors.

Set it up step by step

1. 1

   Create a key for the assistant

   Integrations → API keys: create a key named after the assistant (e.g. “Claude”). Use a separate key per assistant.

2. 2

   Clients that accept headers (Claude Code, Cursor and others)

   Add a server named olab-assist with the address https://api.olabassist.com/mcp and the header Authorization: Bearer olab_YOUR_KEY. Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http olab-assist https://api.olabassist.com/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer olab_YOUR_KEY"

3. 3

   Clients that only take a URL (Claude and ChatGPT apps)

   Add a custom connector and paste https://api.olabassist.com/mcp/olab_YOUR_KEY. In Claude look under Settings → Connectors; in ChatGPT under the connectors or developer mode settings. Menu names change from time to time.

4. 4

   Ask a question

   Try “List my sites with their scores” first, then ask about issues, competitors and AI answers.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "olab-assist": {
      "url": "https://api.olabassist.com/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer olab_YOUR_KEY" }
    }
  }
}

Tips

• Good questions: “Which critical issues are open on example.com and how do I fix them?”, “How did GEO change over the last 8 scans?”, “Which questions do we lose to competitor.com?”
• The address with the key inside works like a password. Do not share it, and revoke the key if it leaks.
