AthenaHQ MCP tools (103)
As the server lists them. Names and descriptions are the vendor's own.
-
open_ai_accessAI crawler accessOpen the AthenaHQ AI crawler access panel. Enter a public HTTPS domain to inspect crawler responses and robots.txt permissions without an AthenaHQ account.
-
check_public_ai_accessCheck AI crawler accessCheck HTTP responses to AI crawler user agents and robots.txt permissions for a public website. No AthenaHQ account required. Search, retrieval and training are separate. Requests originate from AthenaHQ, not verified crawler IPs. Unknown responses are inconclusive; this does not measure visibility or guarantee indexing, citations or real crawler access. Use nullable evidence and diagnostics.
-
get_prompt_schedulesGet prompt schedulesList the Default, custom and archived streaming schedules for a website. Use each row's selection value when filtering analytics or responses. Default includes all pre-cutover history and ad hoc runs; archived schedules retain results. To combine schedules, pass several selection values as an array in the schedule field of query_metrics and query_rows, or use a saved view that stores several schedules. Partner REST filters take one schedule. starts_on and ends_on bound a custom schedule's active period as UTC days (null means no bound); an active schedule outside its period does not run.
-
get_ai_search_valueGet ai search valueAI Search Value for a website: topic-market value, captured value range, headroom, coverage, value-weighted AI share of voice, per-topic detail, and modeled attributed contribution.
-
get_promptsGet promptsList prompts (search queries) tracked for a website
-
get_prompt_tagsGet prompt tagsList prompt tags for a website with per-tag prompt counts. Tag IDs can be used with the prompt_tags filter on the prompts endpoint.
-
get_personasGet personasList personas configured for a website with per-persona prompt counts. Use it to resolve persona_id values returned by other tools to persona names and descriptions.
-
get_topicsGet topicsList topics (groupings of prompts) for a website, with the count of prompts in each
-
get_competitorsGet competitorsList competitors tracked for a website
-
get_content_hub_sheetsGet content hub sheetsList the Content Hub tabs/sheets configured for a website. Use to discover available tabs (e.g. 1st-party content, 3rd-party placements, Reddit) before calling get_tracked_content with a specific sheet_id (metrics; excludes in-flight pipeline items) or list_content (every item including unpublished drafts).
-
get_tracked_contentGet tracked contentList tracked content (1st-party drafts, imported pages, 3rd-party placements) with citation, mention, and impression metrics for the supplied date range and filters. Supports pagination via page_num / page_size and optional filtering by Content Hub sheet_id or content_type. In-flight pipeline items (drafts, briefs, running generations) never appear here; enumerate those with list_content. A returned item can still lack a url (pipeline finished but not published anywhere yet).
-
list_contentList contentEnumerate every content item in a website's Content Hub, published or not: in-flight drafts, briefs, snipes, optimize and slice runs, scheduled and failed items, plus tracked pages. Returns identity fields only (id, title, type, stage, sheet, URL, timestamps, target prompt ids), no metrics. Uncached and Postgres-backed, so an item created by create_content is listable immediately. Filter by sheet_id, content_type, stage, or prompt_id. stage is the raw pipeline workflow state, not a publication flag: null = no pipeline record (most tracked external / imported pages), and manual editor items carry 'generated'. Treat an item as published only when its stage is done (or it is an external / imported page) AND it has a url; done without a url is an unpublished orphan. A sheet_id of a view-type tab (see get_content_hub_sheets sheet_type) lists the shared main pool without the view's saved filters. Use get_tracked_content for citation and impression metrics on published content; use this tool…
-
get_content_detailGet content detailFetch the full detail of a single tracked content item — its brief and body text (drafts, optimize rewrites, snipes, authored and scraped pages), plus status, cited source URLs, and links. Use after get_tracked_content to read the actual text behind a content_id. A status of generated_brief means the brief is ready while the article is still being written. Pages registered via track_content_urls return a null body and null status until their page text is fetched from the app — a null body on an external page means not fetched yet, not missing content; citation tracking does not need the body. `prompts` lists the prompts this page was WRITTEN FOR (the same ids create_content takes), newest-linked last, capped at 100 with the true size in `prompts_total`. When prompts_total exceeds 100 the rest are not currently readable through any tool — report the total, do not imply the list is complete. Entries carry status active, paused or deleted: a deleted prompt is still part of what the page…
-
get_content_citation_promptsGet content citation promptsFor a single tracked content item, list every prompt whose AI responses cited it — with citations, citation %, and estimated impressions. Use after get_tracked_content to drill into which prompts a given URL is appearing for. This is CITED-BY, measured over the requested date range, not the targeting the page was written for: an empty prompts array means no AI response cited this URL in that window, which is expected for new or never-cited pages and is not missing data. For the prompts a page was written to target, read `prompts` on get_content_detail (or prompt_ids on list_content) — those come from the content record itself and do not depend on any citation having happened.
-
list_websitesList websitesList every website accessible to the calling session. Works with any API key (global or scoped) and with MCP/OAuth sessions. Call with an empty argument object `{}`. Each item includes `baseCountry`, the country market the website targets: use it to tell same-brand websites for different countries apart.
-
get_locationsGet locationsList geo-locations configured for a website
-
get_date_rangeGet date rangeGet the earliest and latest response dates for a website
-
get_responsesGet responsesGet LLM responses for a website. Shows how AI models answer queries, with sources, sentiment, and ranking data. Filter by whether a model used search queries or by text within those queries. For a variation-level export at volume, pair filters.variation_filter with include_response: false and compact_sources: true. That keeps the prompt, its variation, the model, the mentioned/cited flags and the cited domains while dropping the answer text, cutting each row to roughly a tenth of its size.
-
get_response_streaming_statusGet response streaming statusRead the latest (or a specific) response-streaming run's whole-run state and response-queue progress. Only completed means downstream analysis has finished
-
get_response_detailGet response detailFetch a single LLM response by id with full sources, mentions, and rank details.
-
get_saved_viewsGet saved viewsList saved views (filter presets) for a website
-
get_group_saved_viewsGet group saved viewsList group-level saved views (filter presets) shared across the websites in a group
-
get_credits_organizationGet credits organizationGet credit balance for the organization
-
get_credits_websiteGet credits websiteGet credit balance for a specific website
-
get_groupsGet groupsList all groups in the organization (global API key only)
-
get_group_detailGet group detailFetch a single group by id with its member websites.
-
get_share_of_voice_cumulativeGet share of voice cumulativeGet cumulative share of voice — overall SOV for each competitor across the date range. Each entry also includes relative_mention_rate: the share of responses mentioning any tracked brand that mention this entity.
-
get_share_of_voice_time_seriesGet share of voice time seriesGet share of voice over time — how often the website is mentioned vs competitors, grouped by day. Each entry also includes relative_mention_rate: the share of that day's responses mentioning any tracked brand that mention this entity.
-
get_citation_rate_cumulativeGet citation rate cumulativeGet cumulative citation rate — average citation rate for each competitor across the date range.
-
get_citation_rate_time_seriesGet citation rate time seriesGet citation rate over time — how often AI models cite (link to) the website, grouped by day.
-
get_mention_rate_cumulativeGet mention rate cumulativeGet cumulative mention rate — average mention rate for each competitor across the date range. mention_rate is absolute (share of all responses); relative_mention_rate is the share of responses mentioning any tracked brand.
-
get_mention_rate_time_seriesGet mention rate time seriesGet mention rate over time — how often AI models mention the website by name, grouped by day. mention_rate is absolute (share of that day's responses); relative_mention_rate is the share of that day's responses mentioning any tracked brand.
-
get_position_cumulativeGet position cumulativeGet cumulative position — average ranking position for each competitor across the date range.
-
get_position_time_seriesGet position time seriesGet ranking position over time — average position of the website in AI model responses, grouped by day.
-
get_position_distributionGet position distributionGet position distribution: share of responses where the brand ranks top/middle/bottom across the date range.
-
query_metricsQuery metricsQuery aggregated metrics for brand performance, competitors, sources, citations, and response trends. Use query_rows for individual records. Mentions: from "response_mentions". Citations: from "citations". On either, where { is_website: true } selects the brand; { is_competitor: true } selects competitors; { entity_id: { eq: "<uuid>" } } selects one entity. Filter/group models by model_category (display names like "ChatGPT", "Claude"), never "model". Dimensions vary by cube; source_mentions has no prompt/model dimensions. Measures: count, count_distinct, avg, sum, min, max; per-measure where enables conditional aggregation. Use compare for two date ranges. When grouping by IDs, use alsoSelect for names: entity_id/entity_name, prompt_id/prompt_text, prompt_topic_id/topic_name (prompts uses topic_id). Cited pages mentioning competitors but not the brand: from "sources", where { source_mentions_entity: { hasSome: [competitorIds], hasNone: [brandId] } }. Also works on "source_mentions". C…
-
query_rowsQuery rowsQuery individual analytics rows. Use for qualitative data like response text, specific identifiers, or individual mentions. Schedule selection: pass schedule: "default" or a custom/archived UUID from the schedule catalog, or an array of them to combine schedules. Omit to use the caller default (Ask Athena uses the current page selection). Explicit selection overrides that default. Existing top-level equality predicates on prompt_schedule_kind/id remain supported, but cannot conflict with schedule. Historical provenance does not change with current prompt membership. Website-level cubes are unaffected. Cubes (same set as query_metrics): attributes, citations, competitors, contents, prompts, response_mentions, responses, source_mentions, sources, topics, websites. Returns { rows, nextCursor, hasMore }. Pass nextCursor back as "after" to paginate. On the responses cube, content is hydrated from Postgres and can only be selected. Do not filter or sort by content. Use search_terms_in_respo…
-
list_pitchesList pitchesList pitch workspace reports for the organization. Returns all non-deleted pitches with their status and metadata.
-
get_pitchGet pitchGet a pitch report by ID including competitors, prompts, attributes, top citing sources, and aggregate metrics (brand mentions, sentiment, response rate).
-
get_sourcesGet sourcesList top cited sources (root domains) for a website with citation, mention, brand-mention, and impression metrics. Each row is classified as owned / competitor / partner / third_party. Supports filters (date range, models, prompts, competitors, locations, personas), sort, and pagination via page_num / page_size.
-
get_source_pagesGet source pagesList individual cited URLs (pages) for a website with citation, mention, and impression metrics plus a per-URL daily sparkline. Each row is classified as owned / competitor / partner / third_party. Companion to get_sources (root-domain-level). Supports filters (date range, models, prompts, competitors, locations, personas), search, sort, and pagination.
-
get_attributesGet attributesList the brand traits (called attributes in the API) tracked for a website: brand-perception keywords such as 'Affordable' or 'Slow Support'. Athena extracts these from AI model responses. Brand traits are direction-neutral; `positive` selects the directional series and defaults to true when omitted. Use this to discover attribute ids, then get_attribute_metrics for how often each is mentioned, or get_attribute_time_series for one attribute's trend over time.
-
get_attribute_metricsGet attribute metricsGet cumulative brand trait (attribute) metrics: for each brand-perception keyword (e.g. 'Affordable', 'Slow Support'), how many AI responses mentioned it across the date range, and the percentage. `positive` selects the observation direction and defaults to true when omitted. `total_responses` is the denominator: responses in the date range that mention the brand AND had attribute extraction run on them. It is NOT every response for the website — responses that never mention the brand are excluded, and Athena samples which responses get extraction, so un-analyzed ones are excluded too. Compute rates from the returned `percentage` / `total_responses` rather than against a response count from another endpoint. Attributes nobody mentioned come back with response_count 0. Use get_competitor_attribute_metrics for the same breakdown per competitor.
-
get_competitor_attribute_metricsGet competitor attribute metricsGet brand trait (attribute) metrics per tracked competitor: for each competitor and each brand-perception keyword (e.g. 'Affordable'), how many AI responses mentioned that keyword for that competitor, and the percentage. Use with get_attribute_metrics to compare the brand against competitors. `total_responses` is per-competitor: responses in the date range that mention THAT competitor and had attribute extraction run on them. Each competitor therefore has its own denominator, and none of them is the website's total response count. `positive` selects the observation direction and defaults to true when omitted. Returns one row per competitor per attribute, so results can be large — filter with competitor_ids. Competitors with no responses in the date range are omitted entirely rather than returned with zeros.
-
get_attribute_time_seriesGet attribute time seriesGet the daily trend for ONE brand trait (attribute), brand and competitors side by side — how mentions of a keyword like 'Affordable' moved over time. Requires an attribute_id: call get_attributes first to discover ids. `positive` selects the observation direction and defaults to true when omitted. Days with no data are returned as zeros, so the series is gap-free and chartable. Denominators are per-side, not the day's whole response set: brand_percentage divides by that day's responses that mention the brand (and had attribute extraction run), and competitor_percentage by responses that mention the tracked competitors. brand_total and competitor_total return those denominators explicitly. Competitor figures aggregate all tracked competitors unless competitor_ids narrows them.
-
get_attribute_observationsGet attribute observationsGet individual brand trait (attribute) observations: each row is one AI response describing one entity (the brand or a competitor) with one brand trait, including the response excerpt as `text_span`. `score` runs from -1 to 1 and its sign always matches `positive`; its magnitude (0.1 to 1.0) is how strongly the wording praises or criticizes. `score` is null when the observation was not scored (extracted before scoring existed, or no valid value was recorded); for direction only, use `score ?? (positive ? 1 : -1)`. Omit `positive` for both directions. `sort: "intensity"` (the default) returns the strongest observations first with unscored ones last; `sort: "recent"` returns the newest first. Narrow with entity_ids and attribute_ids (from get_attributes). Paginate with page_num and page_size; a page can hold fewer than page_size rows when an excerpt is no longer available, so use `has_more` to decide whether to fetch the next page. Use get_attribute_metrics for how often each trait is m…
-
get_user_by_emailGet user by emailLook up a user by email address, scoped to the caller's organization. Returns 404 when the email does not belong to a member of the organization or of one of its websites.
-
get_oracle_findingsGet oracle findingsWhen grounding is present, use its complete team-confirmed statement and all supporting facts as joint evidence; the legacy fact ID/text are only a compatibility anchor. List Oracle accuracy findings for a website: places where an AI response contradicted a verified brand fact (type 'inaccuracy' or 'kb_issue', with quote, claim, and reason) or where two knowledge-base facts conflict ('kb_duplicate' / 'kb_contradiction', pairing fact_text with related_fact_text). Findings from every status are included by default (pending, acknowledged, ignored, ...), each row carrying its status — pass the status filter for pending items only. Filters (run_id, fact_id, lineage_id, response_id, prompt_id, source_url, type, kind, severity, status) AND-compose; source_url matches evidence URLs exactly after normalization (protocol and trailing slash ignored). 'total' is the pre-limit count. 'latest_run' is the newest scan of any kind and is null only when the website has never been scanned, so latest_run…
-
get_oracle_findingGet oracle findingWhen grounding is present, use its complete team-confirmed statement and all supporting facts as joint evidence; the legacy fact ID/text are only a compatibility anchor. Load one Oracle finding in full: the flagged claim with its verified fact and prompt text, the run it came from, a ~2000-character response excerpt centered on the quoted claim, the cited-page evidence captured during the run (url, quote, snippet, scrape_hash), and its lineage: sibling findings sharing its lineage_id across runs, newest first. Use after get_oracle_findings to interrogate a specific finding. Returns a not-found error for an unknown finding id, and status 'no_access' if the brand does not have Oracle v2.
-
add_brand_factsAdd brand factsAdd brand facts to a website's Knowledge Base in bulk (1-50 per call). Each fact runs the full ingestion pipeline (deduplication, approval gates, pillar routing); there is no way to force-approve. Returns one outcome per fact (approved | pending | duplicate; extensible) with the created fact id and the pillar it was filed under. Facts without a pillar_id are routed automatically and may land unfiled. A fact similar to facts already in the Knowledge Base is not added: its outcome is duplicate and lists them under matches, and the response carries a match_token. To resolve, call again with those facts, the match_token, one decision per listed match (approve, optionally with new text, or delete) and save_submitted (true adds the facts as written, false only applies the decisions).
-
add_contentAdd contentAdd an article that is already written (for example, one drafted in this conversation) to the website's Content Hub as an editable draft. Same as pasting it into the Content Hub's blank editor: no AI model runs and no content credits are spent. Use create_content instead when Athena should research and write the piece. body is the full article in Markdown and is stored as given, except that link and image destinations with an unsafe scheme (javascript:, data:) become #. The item is created with type manual at stage generated, and the body is recorded as version 1, so get_content_draft, edit_content, revise_content and get_content_versions work on it right away. Pass title, or it is taken from the body's first heading (else its first line). sheet_id must be a tab from get_content_hub_sheets: a sheet-type tab keeps the item, a view-type tab or no sheet_id puts it in the shared pool. The item is not published. Once it is live on the site, call publish_content with its URL to start citati…
-
approve_briefApprove briefApprove a content brief and start writing the article from it. Only valid while the piece is at status generated_brief. The article is generated from the brief exactly as it currently stands, including any revisions made with revise_brief or edits made in the app. Consumes content credits; poll get_content_status afterwards, then read the result with get_content_draft.
-
create_contentGenerate an article or content briefGenerate an article or content brief in AthenaHQ. Fetches source URLs, sends source material to external AI providers, and consumes content credits. Obtain user approval before calling. Does not publish to a website or CMS. For draft mode, auto_approve defaults to true; set false to generate only a brief and wait for approve_brief. Poll get_content_status using each returned content_ids value. Slice mode returns slice_titles and an empty content_ids array; generated items appear in list_content. To save an already-written article without generation or credit use, call add_content.
-
create_locationCreate locationCreate a location for a website
-
create_pillarCreate pillarCreate a Knowledge Base pillar (a subject area that groups brand facts) from a name and optional description. Get-or-create semantics: if a pillar with the same name already exists, it is returned with created: false instead of failing, so retries are idempotent.
-
create_prompt_tagCreate prompt tagCreate a prompt tag on a website, or return the existing tag when its name matches case-insensitively. Trims surrounding whitespace and rejects reserved prompt-type names. Returns the tag ID and whether it was created. Use the returned ID to assign the tag to prompts; creating a tag does not assign it to any prompts.
-
create_promptsCreate promptsCreate one or more prompts on a website
-
create_saved_viewCreate saved viewCreate a saved view (filter preset) for a website. Saved views appear in the dashboard filter bar for every member of the website. filters is an object keyed by filter field key, each value shaped {"id": "<unique string>", "field": "<same field key>", "operator": "is_any_of", "values": [...]}. Common field keys: "models" (slugs like "chatgpt", "perplexity", "google_ai_overview"), "competitors", "prompts", "personas", "locations", "promptTags", "attributes" (arrays of UUIDs from the matching list tools), "countries", "sourceTag". "promptTags" also accepts the builtin tokens "type:high_intent" (branded prompts) and "type:discovery" (non-branded) alongside tag UUIDs. "sourceTag" values are the builtin categories "owned", "competitor", "partner", "third_party" or custom source tag UUIDs, not display labels; custom source tag ids appear on existing saved views (list the website's saved views to find them). When unsure, list the website's saved views and mirror their filter shapes. icon, wh…
-
create_source_tagCreate source tagCreate a custom source tag with a name and URL patterns. Research existing tags and cited sources first when recommending changes. Obtain user confirmation before calling. MCP executes immediately after authorization; Athena AI chat presents an approval card. Patterns support hosts (example.com), subdomains (*.example.com), path sections (example.com/blog), exact pages (example.com/blog$), and query constraints (youtube.com/watch?v=abc). Up to 500 patterns; new tags use a neutral color. These are source tags, not prompt tags.
-
create_topicCreate topicCreate a topic on a website (returns the existing topic when the name is already taken)
-
delete_brand_factsDelete brand factsPermanently delete 1-50 brand facts from a website's Knowledge Base. There is no undo. Ids that do not exist on the website are reported in not_found_ids rather than failing the call, so retries are idempotent. Requires an admin; on OAuth connections the signed-in user must have the admin role.
-
delete_contentDelete contentDelete a content row. Destructive: physical row delete, no undo. Powers delete-and-retry. Bulk delete is out of scope.
-
delete_locationDelete locationDelete a location from a website
-
delete_pillarsDelete pillarsPermanently delete 1-20 Knowledge Base pillars and every fact filed under them. Facts are deleted, not unfiled; there is no undo. Ids that do not exist on the website are reported in not_found_ids rather than failing the call, so retries are idempotent; ids in failed_ids are untouched and safe to retry. Requires an admin; on OAuth connections the signed-in user must have the admin role.
-
delete_promptDelete promptDelete a prompt (soft when responses exist, hard otherwise)
-
delete_source_tagDelete source tagPermanently delete a custom source tag and all its pattern assignments; retain source records. Read the source-tag listing tool first and supply the tag's current revision in the expected-revision input. Built-in source categories cannot be deleted. Obtain explicit user confirmation identifying the tag and its assignments before calling. MCP executes immediately after authorization; Athena AI chat presents an approval card. If the tag changed, read again and obtain approval for a fresh deletion. Never retry a declined proposal unless the user requests it. A false analytics-refresh result means the tag was deleted but filtered analytics may still be cached.
-
delete_topicDelete topicDelete a topic (soft delete; optionally also delete its prompts)
-
edit_contentEdit contentApply exact find-and-replace edits to a content draft's article body. Deterministic, no AI model involved: your replacement text lands verbatim (use revise_content when you want an AI rewrite from an instruction). Each edit's find text must match the current body exactly once; zero or multiple matches fail the whole call and nothing is saved, so extend the find text until it is unique. Edits apply in order, later ones see earlier results, and the batch is recorded as one new version, recoverable via get_content_versions / restore_content_version. Pass expected_version_number from get_content_draft to fail with a conflict when a new version was recorded after your read (a revision, edit, or restore). An app autosave changes the body without recording a version; that drift is caught by the anchors themselves, since a moved or vanished find text fails the call.
-
get_brand_factsGet brand factsList a website's brand facts from the Knowledge Base, newest first, with offset paging. By default excludes facts generated by Oracle analysis; pass include_oracle=true to include them. Filters: pillar, review status (default approved), source type, and unfiled=true for facts not under any published pillar (unfiled and pillar_id are mutually exclusive).
-
get_content_draftGet content draftRead the current draft text of a content item — the article body as it stands right now, including every revision applied so far. Use this before revise_content to see what you are changing, and after it to confirm the result. A status of generated_brief means the brief is ready while the article is still being written, so body may still be empty. For the full record (cited urls, links, social posts) use get_content_detail instead.
-
get_content_statusGet content statusGet the normalized pipeline status (running | succeeded | failed) for one content row, plus the raw stage behind it. Read-only. Poll once per contentId returned by create_content (content.pipeline.start). A stage of generated_brief with status running means the brief is ready and waiting — for a non-auto-approve draft it stays there until approve_brief is called, so do not treat running as always in progress. Not meaningful for tracked pages (track_content_urls / external rows): they have no generation pipeline and report running with a null stage forever — read them via get_tracked_content or get_content_detail instead.
-
get_content_versionGet content versionRead the full text of one saved version of a content item. Use it to compare two passes (fetch both and diff them yourself) or to check what an earlier version said before restoring it.
-
get_content_versionsGet content versionsList the saved versions of a content item, newest first. Each entry carries its version number, label, how it was produced, and who made it. Use it to see how a draft evolved, then get_content_version to read a specific one, or restore_content_version to go back to it.
-
get_credit_usageGet credit usageRead recorded organization credit consumption: total, hourly (24h) or daily trend, and charged website/group/organization pools. Use for spending trends and biggest charged pools; the credit-balance tools read current balances. For 'this month' or a specific spike, supply explicit UTC window boundaries; 30d is rolling, not a calendar month. State the returned interval. A group pool is not an originating website. The breakdown may exclude unattributed usage or be capped by the billing provider; totalCreditsUsed is authoritative, not the sum of displayed entities. Negative credits are refunds. Entities are paginated: continue with window and nextOffset while hasMore. Use credit-usage events to inspect recorded actions. Requires organization billing access on a signed-in connection, or a global organization API key. Website-scoped keys are not supported. Read-only.
-
get_credit_usage_eventsGet credit usage eventsRead a page of recorded credit charges/refunds and action labels for the organization, optionally filtered by originatingWebsiteId. Use to inspect a usage spike or charges behind a total. Use credit-usage totals for complete period totals. Supply explicit UTC window for calendar months. Continue with returned window, originatingWebsiteId, and nextOffset while hasMore; never compute the next offset from returned row count. Limit bounds underlying operations, each may split into several charged-pool rows. One page is not a complete action breakdown. 'Not recorded' means unknown historical action/site attribution, never infer it. Unknown raw action tags are preserved. Negative credits are refunds. Requires organization billing access on a signed-in connection, or a global organization API key. Website-scoped keys are not supported. Read-only.
-
get_identifiersGet identifiersRead the identifiers of the website's brand, or of one competitor: the names, aliases and domains Athena looks for in AI responses to count a mention. default_identifiers (the name and domain) are always matched and cannot be removed; identifiers lists every other value, as the Competitors page shows them. case_sensitive tells whether matching respects letter case. Read this before update_identifiers. Read-only.
-
get_pillar_documentGet pillar documentFetch a pillar's synthesized markdown document from the Knowledge Base. Returns document: null when the pillar exists but has no synthesized document yet.
-
get_pillarsGet pillarsList a website's Knowledge Base pillars (excluding archived ones) with approved-fact counts, whether a synthesized document exists, and when each pillar was last researched.
-
get_prompt_discovery_runsGet prompt discovery runsRead Discover history and progress for a website, or supply the run ID returned by discovery launch to inspect one study. Distinguishes pending, running, completed, partial, failed and cancelled. limit bounds returned runs (default 10, maximum 20); has_more means older runs remain. This is read-only: it does not start research, monitor in the background or send notifications. Candidate results can be reviewed in the application's Discover page. Requires permission to view prompts; source visibility restrictions still apply.
-
get_seo_rankingsGet seo rankingsRead saved Google organic rankings by explicit market and device alongside observed AI visibility. Includes recent history, missing-data reasons, freshness and committed provider budget. Does not trigger collection.
-
get_shopping_metricsGet shopping metricsGet the Shopping Insights dashboard for a website over a date range: how often the brand's products appear in AI shopping answers (product carousels) versus competitors, average position and price, the top own and competitor products, the competitor leaderboard, retailer (merchant) breakdown, rank distribution, price comparison, and a daily appearances trend. Rates are percentages 0-100; positions are 1-based (lower is better). Requires a paid plan.

list_source_tagsList source tagsRead custom source tags, URL patterns, and revision tokens. These are not prompt tags or built-in categories (Owned, Competitor, Partner, Third party). Read before creating, editing, or deleting. Filter by name substring or tag ID. Use the tag offset to page tags; use a tag ID and pattern offset to page its patterns. Research cited sources with existing source analytics tools before recommending changes. If there are no tags or sources, ask which domains the user wants to organize.
-
merge_pillarsMerge pillarsMerge 1-20 source pillars into a published target pillar: every fact on the sources (any review status) re-files onto the target, page links carry over keeping the stronger signal, and the source pillars are then deleted. The target must be a published pillar and must not appear among the sources. Unlike the other Knowledge Base writes, retries are strict: missing source ids are rejected rather than skipped, so re-read the pillars before retrying a failed merge.
-
move_brand_factsMove brand factsFile 1-50 brand facts under a published Knowledge Base pillar — works for unfiled facts and re-files facts from other pillars. Review status never changes, and only approved facts under a published pillar feed content generation, so moving is what puts approved facts to work. Missing ids are reported in not_found_ids rather than failing the call, so retries are idempotent.
-
move_contentMove contentMove one or more content items to a different Content Hub sheet, or back to the shared pool. Sheet assignment is organizational metadata only: a move never changes an item's stage, brief, body, versions, URL, or metrics, and the item stays fully readable and revisable. targetSheetId must be a "sheet"-type tab from the Content Hub sheets list — view-type tabs (e.g. All content) are computed filters, not assignable; pass null to unassign back to the shared pool they display. Batch is all-or-nothing: if any contentIds entry does not belong to the website, nothing moves. Custom-column values follow each item when the target has a matching column (same name and type; missing columns are auto-created); values whose column conflicts by type are dropped, and multi-select selections whose option is missing on the matched target column are removed — both counts are reported. Each moved item is returned with its previous and new sheet id so no follow-up read is needed.
-
publish_contentMark content as publishedRecord an already-published article's URL in AthenaHQ for citation and mention tracking. Does not upload or publish content to a website or CMS. Call only after the article is live. Sets the first publication time and moves the pipeline stage to done. A first publish requires a finished article (stage generated), with one exception: an optimize draft is created from a page that is already live and can be marked published while it waits at stage pending, as long as no Athena review is running on it. Briefs, still-generating or failed pieces, optimize drafts with a review in flight, and items with a scheduled CMS publish are rejected with the reason. Pass the exact public URL of the live page (a bare domain path like acme.com/blog/post is fine; the protocol is stripped on store). Calling it again on an already-published item (including external and imported pages, which are live by definition) updates the tracked URL only, keeping the original publish time. This is the only way to set a…
-
rename_contentRename contentRename a content row's title. URL editing is not supported — URL is the content asset's stable identity and cannot be changed here.
-
restore_content_versionRestore content versionBring an earlier version's text back as the current draft — use it when a later pass came out worse than an earlier one. Nothing is deleted: the restored text is appended as a new version on top of the history, so the passes in between remain readable and restorable.
-
revise_briefRevise briefRewrite a content brief from a natural-language instruction (for example: 'add a section on pricing objections', 'cut the competitor comparison'). An AI model performs the rewrite server-side, so the result is generated text, not your literal wording. Records each pass as a version; iterate by calling it again, since each call starts from the current brief. Most useful while a piece waits at status generated_brief, where the brief still shapes what the article will say — call approve_brief once it reads right. It also works after the article exists, to correct the brief for a later regeneration; note that revising the brief does NOT rewrite an already-generated article, so use revise_content for that.
-
revise_contentRevise contentRewrite an existing content draft from a natural-language instruction (for example: 'tighten the intro', 'add a section on pricing', 'remove the second half'). An AI model performs the rewrite server-side, so the result is generated text, not your literal wording; when you already have the exact replacement text, use edit_content instead. Applies the change to the whole article and records it as a new version, so earlier passes stay recoverable via get_content_versions / restore_content_version. Iterate by calling it again — each call starts from the current text, so no version id is needed. Use this instead of create_content to change a draft; it edits in place rather than generating a new piece. The returned body is always the complete replacement article, never just the edited passage; compare body_word_count with previous_body_word_count to confirm nothing unexpected was lost.
-
search_brand_factsSearch brand factsSemantic search over a website's approved brand facts in the Knowledge Base. Reaches facts not filed under any pillar. Returns fact text with confidence, source URL and quote, and the published pillar it belongs to (null when unfiled).
-
set_prompt_tagsSet prompt tagsReplace all tag assignments on an existing prompt. For additions or removals, read the prompt's current tags with get_prompts, resolve tag IDs with get_prompt_tags, and pass the full resulting set. Existing assignments omitted from tag_ids are removed; an empty array clears all assignments. Tag definitions and the prompt itself are preserved.
-
set_prompts_statusSet prompts statusPause or unpause multiple prompts in one transaction
-
start_prompt_discoveryStart prompt discoveryStart a Discover study to find evidence-grounded, untracked prompt opportunities for a website. Invoke after explicit user intent to start research and review the sources, country, language, requested prompt count and custom instructions with the user. This launches asynchronous external research and model calls; the prompt count is a target, not a guaranteed yield. Sources: website_analysis (website), social (market discussions), search_console (connected Search Console), keyword_gaps (plan-gated keyword opportunities), brand_guidelines (requires custom instructions). Returns the run ID and version when startup succeeds. Prompts are not automatically added to tracking. Poll the discovery history/progress tool with the returned run ID; do not start another study to check status. Requires prompt-management permission and source entitlements. Candidate results can be reviewed in the application's Discover page.
-
start_response_streamingRun prompts and collect AI responsesRun tracked prompts against external AI providers to collect new responses for a website. Sends prompt text to the selected providers, stores their responses in AthenaHQ, and consumes response credits. Starts immediately; use only for a user-requested run. Returns a workflow_id; poll get_response_streaming_status over MCP or GET /api/v1/response-streaming/status over the API for progress.
-
track_content_urlsTrack content urlsRegister existing pages or third-party URLs as tracked Content Hub items so Athena attributes citations and mentions to them. Creates external content rows from bare URLs with no generation and no credit cost. Tracking starts immediately: the normalized URL becomes the citation/metric join key, so pages cited in the website's monitored AI responses accrue metrics with no publish step (use it for guest posts, partner placements, or any page Athena did not generate). Idempotent per URL: a URL already present on the website (any content type) is not duplicated; the response lists it under skipped with the existing content_id and type. Check that type before chaining destructive calls (a skip can resolve to first-party generated content that shares the URL). Rows are created without page text, which citation tracking does not need; the body can be filled from the app later. Duplicate URLs within one call (including tracking-param variants of the same page) collapse to one row, first occur…
-
update_brand_factUpdate brand factUpdate one brand fact's text, source URL, or confidence in the Knowledge Base. Only provided fields change; pass source_url: "" to clear the source. Changing the text creates a new fact (new id) and archives the current one; the new fact keeps the current review status and the response carries it. Source URL and confidence edits update the fact in place. Duplicates across other facts are not rejected here (Knowledge Base dedup owns those). Does not change review status.
-
update_identifiersUpdate identifiersAdd or remove identifiers on the website's brand, or on one competitor, under the same rules as the Competitors page. Call get_identifiers first. The name and domain cannot be removed. An identifier that is already listed, or that another tracked brand or competitor on this website already uses, is refused, and nothing is saved. New AI responses use the change right away. Past responses are reanalyzed only when someone runs the backfill on the Competitors page, which costs credits; this tool never starts it. changes_awaiting_backfill counts the edits waiting for it, not responses.
-
update_locationUpdate locationUpdate a location for a website
-
update_pillarUpdate pillarUpdate a Knowledge Base pillar's name, description, or status. At least one of name, description, or status must be provided; only provided fields change, and description: "" clears the stored description. Renaming fails with a conflict when another pillar already uses the name. Status accepts published or archived: archiving hides the pillar from get_pillars and stops its facts feeding content generation, while keeping the facts stored.
-
update_promptUpdate promptUpdate a prompt's metadata (text, type, topic, geography)
-
update_source_tagUpdate source tagEdit a custom source tag: rename it, add URL patterns, or remove exact patterns returned by the source-tag listing tool. Other patterns and color stay unchanged. Read the source-tag listing tool first and supply the tag's current revision in the expected-revision input. Obtain explicit user confirmation of the name and pattern changes before calling; do not apply a recommendation without permission. MCP executes immediately after authorization; Athena AI chat presents an approval card. If the tag changed, read again and obtain approval for a fresh edit. Never retry a declined proposal unless the user requests it. Up to 500 additions and 500 removals. A false analytics-refresh result means the tag saved but filtered analytics may still be cached.
