Ask Renown From Claude and ChatGPT

You measure how AI talks about your brand. Then you open a dashboard, squint at a chart, copy three numbers into a doc and paste them into the AI app you actually spend your day in.

That last step was always a bit silly. So we removed it.

Renown now has a connector for Claude, ChatGPT and any other app that speaks the Model Context Protocol. Connect it once and ask your questions where you already work.

TL;DR

Ask in plain language. "How visible are we on Perplexity?" "Who gets recommended instead of us?" "What should we fix first?"

Answers come from your own measurements. The same prompts, AI answers, citations and scores your dashboard shows. Nothing is guessed.

Read-only, with one exception. It can mark a recommended action as done. It cannot touch your settings, prompts or billing.

Two minutes to set up. Add https://api.tryrenown.com/mcp as a connector, sign in to Renown, approve.

Every paid plan. It reads what your plan already includes.

What you can ask

Renown asks AI engines the questions your buyers ask, over and over, and records what they said word for word. The connector hands that record to your AI app, so the questions get more interesting than "what's my score":

• "Summarise our AI visibility and what changed since the last run."
• "On which prompts does Claude recommend a competitor instead of us, and what did it say?"
• "Which sites get cited when we are not mentioned? Group them by type."
• "What are our three highest-impact actions? Mark the G2 one done, we finished it."

Your AI app does the reasoning. Renown supplies the evidence. It's a good split: the model is good at summarising and bad at knowing what other models said about you last Tuesday.

What it can see, and what it can't

A connected app sees exactly what you see in your dashboard. Agencies see their client brands, and the app asks which one you mean.

It sees scores, the breakdown per AI engine, competitors, your prompts and topics, the answers engines gave, the pages they cited, and your recommended actions. It can mark one of your own actions complete. That is the only write.

Two honest caveats:

Approve only apps you trust. An approved app acts with your account's permissions. The consent screen tells you which app is asking and where approving sends you. Read it.

AI answers are third-party text. The connector labels them as data, so your app treats them as information and not instructions. Models quoting other models is exactly as strange as it sounds, and we built for it.

Set it up

Claude: Customize (or Settings), Connectors, Add custom connector. Paste https://api.tryrenown.com/mcp, connect, sign in to Renown, approve. ChatGPT: turn on Developer mode, add an app with the same URL, choose OAuth, sign in, approve. Perplexity, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Codex, n8n and scripts: use an API key instead of signing in. Create one in the app under Settings, AI connectors & API keys; it comes with the setup ready to paste. Keys can be read-only, which is what most automation wants.

Full setup and the list of tools: tryrenown.com/mcp.

Why a connector and not another export

Because the dashboard is where you check the numbers, and the AI app is where you decide what to do about them. Moving data between the two by hand is the part nobody enjoys and everybody skips.

Monitoring without action is a dashboard. This puts the monitoring inside the place the action gets planned.

FAQ

What is the Renown MCP server?

A connector that lets Claude, ChatGPT and other Model Context Protocol clients read your Renown data: visibility scores per AI engine, competitors, prompts, the answers engines gave, cited sources and recommended actions. The server URL is https://api.tryrenown.com/mcp.

Can the connector change anything in my Renown account?

One thing. It can mark one of your own recommended actions as complete. Every other tool is read-only, and it cannot change settings, prompts or billing.

Create an API key in the Renown app under Settings, AI connectors & API keys, then add the server URL and the key in the tool. Keys can be read-only and can expire.

Every paid Renown plan. It reads the same brands and data your plan already shows in the dashboard.
