Sleepwalker is an MCP server focused on AI visibility (GEO) and content intelligence. It allows Claude and other MCP agents to monitor brand presence across multiple AI search platforms and get content improvement recommendations. It offers remote HTTP endpoint, easy to set up, but requires an API key (except the free local OKF export). Suitable for SEO experts, content teams, and AI app developers. Note that API usage may incur costs.

Sleepwalker is an AI visibility and content intelligence tool for agents, products, and teams. It provides two connected workflows: AI Visibility — run prompts across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Grok, and Gemini, and capture full answers, citations, competitors, and mention types; Content Intelligence — serialize public pages, discover demand, score content depth and freshness, and return practical recommendations. Accessible via MCP, API, CLI, and App, with results unified in one workspace.

Tools

visibility_run
Run AI search checks across multiple AI platforms (e.g., Perplexity, OpenAI, Grok, Gemini) and capture answers, citations, mention types, and competitor data.
serialize_page
Serialize a public page into AI-readable format, including content and technical snapshot (meta tags, structured data, headers, etc.) as seen by AI crawlers.
score_content
Evaluate page content depth, freshness, and relevance to demand, returning practical recommendations.
list_competitors
List competitors mentioned in AI search and their performance data.
check_trends

okf_export
Free open-source command to export any public page into an Open Knowledge Format markdown bundle with content and technical snapshot.

Setup

  1. Optionally install the CLI: run npm install -g @sleepwalkerai/cli.
  2. Create an API key in the Sleepwalker app (app.sleepwalker.ai) and set it via sleepwalker auth key set.
  3. For MCP clients, configure the remote server URL https://mcp.sleepwalker.ai/mcp.
  4. For free OKF export, no account or API key needed; simply run npx -y @sleepwalkerai/cli okf export <URL>.

Fit and risk

Best for

  • SEO and GEO teams needing to understand brand presence in AI search.
  • Developers building AI agents or apps that need access to LLM answers and citation data.
  • Content marketers optimizing for AI visibility.

Not for

  • Scenarios requiring deep analysis of data beyond public pages (e.g., private systems).
  • Users wanting fully local operation and storage (except the free OKF export, it relies on hosted services).

Required permissions

  • Requires an API key for authentication (except for the free local OKF export).
  • Network access to send requests to the Sleepwalker API and receive results.
  • For OKF export, permission to read the target webpage.

Risks and side effects

  • Usage may incur costs; actions like visibility checks, content scoring, and serialization consume credits.
  • Dependency on external APIs and hosted services; potential service outages or data privacy concerns.
  • Content sent to the API might include sensitive information; ensure compliance with privacy policies.

Troubleshooting

  1. Check that the API key is valid and not expired.
  2. Ensure the URL is publicly accessible and network connectivity is fine.
  3. Verify target platforms (e.g., Perplexity, OpenAI) are available and check API limits or quotas.
  4. For OKF export, ensure you have the latest CLI version and npx is usable.
  5. Consult Sleepwalker docs or contact support for specific errors.
