Connect tracKeting to your AI assistant

Ask Claude, Cursor or your coding assistant about your boards in plain English — brand rankings, ads, follower growth and YouTube AI coverage — and get your real tracKeting numbers back, right in the chat. No exports, no spreadsheets.

What it does

Once connected, you can just ask your assistant things like:

• "Rank the AI Board on X by views over the last year."
• "How is Anthropic's follower growth on LinkedIn trending?"
• "Which YouTube channels cover ChatGPT the most?"
• "What ads is Alex Hormozi running on Facebook?"
• "Show me Anthropic's best posts on X over the last month."

It answers using live data from your tracKeting account. Behind the scenes it can:

• List your boards — see exactly which boards your plan includes.
• Board totals — accounts, posts and ads on a board over the last 12 months (or channels, videos and views for YouTube AI coverage).
• Find an account — search a board by name or handle.
• Leaderboards — the top accounts on a board for any platform (X, LinkedIn, YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook), ranked by views. LinkedIn is ranked by likes instead, because LinkedIn never publishes view counts.
• Individual posts — what one account actually published on one platform over a stretch you choose: the words, the link, the numbers that platform reports, and the picture or video if you want it.
• Ads for one advertiser — the ads we hold for one account on Facebook (which covers Instagram), Google or LinkedIn, with the wording and the creative. You can narrow to one format, or to ads containing a particular word.
• Follower growth — the week-by-week follower trend for one account.
• YouTube AI coverage leaderboard — which AI brands get covered by the most channels and videos.
• Coverage trend — how one YouTube channel's AI-video output changed over the year.
• Brand coverage detail — the full YouTube coverage picture for one AI brand.

It's read-only — your assistant can look at the data, but it can't change anything in your account. And it only sees the boards you pay for: a Founders-only subscriber can't reach the AI Board tools, and vice-versa. Ask about a board that isn't on your plan and your assistant will say so and point you at plans — it won't quietly answer from a different board instead.

Connect it — pick your app

The apps split into two groups:

• Chat assistants (claude.ai, ChatGPT, Claude Desktop) — you just sign in to tracKeting when a window pops up. Nothing to copy or paste.
• Coding tools & editors (Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Codex, Windsurf, Cline, Zed) — you paste a token: a private key that links your account. Create one on your account page (you see it once), then drop it into the setup for your app.

Chat assistants — just sign in

No token to copy. When you connect, a tracKeting sign-in window pops up — sign in and approve, and you're done. The connection is read-only and limited to the boards you subscribe to.

Claude Desktop (the Mac / Windows app)

Coding tools & editors — paste your token

Each of these uses the same token from your account page. Generate one (you see it once — it starts trk_live_), then swap it in below wherever it says YOUR_TOKEN.

Claude Code (the terminal app)

claude mcp add --transport http tracketing https://mcp.tracketing.com/mcp --scope user --header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN"

Cursor

VS Code (with GitHub Copilot)

{

Codex (OpenAI's terminal app)

codex mcp add tracketing --url https://mcp.tracketing.com/mcp --bearer-token-env-var TRK_MCP_TOKEN

Gemini CLI

gemini mcp add --transport http --header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN" tracketing https://mcp.tracketing.com/mcp

Getting the numbers right

Your assistant already knows these tips, but they're worth knowing yourself:

• Follower counts are point-in-time snapshots. For "how fast is this growing," ask for the follower-growth series, not a single latest number.
• Leaderboards and search show the head only. There's no "next page" — if a name isn't in the top results, narrow the search instead of paging.
• Totals cover the last 12 months. Board totals, rankings and coverage are all measured over the trailing year, not all time.
• Name the platform. Rankings and ads are per platform (X, LinkedIn, YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook) — say which one, or you'll get the default.
• Ads carry no performance figures. We record which ads ran, when, and what they said — never what they cost, or how many people clicked or saw them. So there's no "best performing ad", and an assistant that ranks ads for you has invented the ranking.
• Most LinkedIn ads have no dates. LinkedIn only publishes run dates for campaigns aimed at the EU, so about two in three come back without them. Those ads are real and they ran — we just can't say when, and we'd rather tell you that than guess.
• We hold posts from 6 July 2026 onwards. Ask about an earlier month and you'll get an empty answer for almost every account — that's where our records start, not a quiet patch. So ask about recent weeks, or don't name a period at all and let the answer tell you what it covers. Ads are the exception: for many advertisers we hold ads going back several months, and it differs from one to the next.
• Requests for individual posts and ads can cover up to three months at a time, and can't start before January 2025. If a stretch comes back empty, your assistant will tell you whether we simply recorded nothing then. Totals, rankings and follower trends cover the full history we hold.

Limits & what the messages mean

To keep things fair and fast, each account can pull:

• 3,000 rows of data per day and 300 requests per day (both reset at midnight UTC).
• Up to 50 results per answer, and a short pause if you fire off more than 20 requests in a minute.
• Of that daily allowance, 1,500 rows across 100 lookups can be individual posts and ads — roughly 20 accounts across three platforms every day. Everything else (totals, rankings, follower trends, search) draws on the main allowance only.

If you hit a limit, your assistant will show one of these — they're normal, not errors:

What's covered

Four boards — the AI Board (AI brands), the Founders Board (indie founders), YouTube AI coverage, and Geneva real estate — across six social platforms (X, LinkedIn, YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook), month by month over the last 12 months. You'll only ever see the boards your subscription includes.
