Conductor's Developer Experience: MCP, Data API, and Templates
Conductor's Developer Experience is a dedicated documentation site for anyone who wants to bring Conductor's AEO and SEO intelligence into the tools they already use—ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, a BI dashboard, or a custom agent. Whether you're a marketer who doesn't write code, an engineer wiring up a data pipeline, or a partner building on top of Conductor, this is where to start.

Note!
Conductor's core product documentation still lives in this Knowledge Base. The Developer Experience site focuses specifically on our MCP server, our Data API, and the template gallery of ready-to-use LLM workflows. If you're looking for help on features like AI Search Performance, Pages, or Keywords, stay here in the Knowledge Base.
What You'll Find in the Developer Experience
MCP (Model Context Protocol)
The MCP section is the no-code entry point. It explains—in plain language—how to connect your Conductor account to an AI assistant so you can ask questions about your data instead of getting generic SEO advice. If you've ever wanted to say "summarize last week's visibility for our most important topics" and get a real answer grounded in your Conductor metrics, this is how.
You'll find:
- Introductions to what MCP is, what an MCP tool is, and what data Conductor exposes (brand mentions, citations, sentiment, and account configuration).
- Getting-started guides for connecting Conductor to ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, and custom connectors.
- Example prompts for brand mention analysis, citation analysis, sentiment analysis, and discovering what data you have access to.
- FAQs covering access, cost, privacy, and how MCP compares to the Data API.

Data API
The Data API section is for developers and analysts who want to deliver Conductor's search intelligence directly into a data ecosystem—powering custom dashboards, BI tools, automated reporting, and cross-channel analytics without manual effort.
Conductor's Data API replaces Conductor Intelligence's Legacy Reporting API and exposes five asynchronous endpoints across traditional organic search and AI-generated search:
-
/data-api/v1/async/keyword_rankings— Rank and context for your tracked keywords. Answers: "For which tracked keywords do I appear in search?" -
/data-api/v1/async/highest_ranking_url_per_keyword— Rank and context for your best-performing results. Answers: "For which tracked keywords do I rank best?" -
/data-api/v1/async/ai_search_brands— Brand and product mentions in AI responses. Answers: "Which brands are AI engines recommending for my topics?" -
/data-api/v1/async/ai_search_citations— URLs and domains cited as sources. Answers: "Which websites are AI engines citing?" -
/data-api/v1/async/ai_search_sentiments— Sentiment analysis of brand mentions. Answers: "What is AI saying about my brand?"
All requests use the base URL https://api-universal.conductor.com. The site also includes an interactive Developer Playground where you can test calls against the live API before writing any integration code.

Templates
The Template Gallery is a growing library of ready-to-use workflows that combine Conductor's MCP with LLM skills to deliver specific outcomes—things like auditing your brand's AI search visibility, finding AI search content gaps, or mapping your AI purchase funnel. If you want ideas for how to apply the MCP, this is the fastest way to see what's possible.

Marketers and strategists
Head to the MCP section. You don't need to read API docs or write code. You'll find connector setup instructions, example prompts, and templates you can run against your Conductor data from inside ChatGPT or Claude.
Developers and data teams
Head to the Data API section. You'll find endpoint reference, authentication details, async query patterns, and a playground for testing calls. Use the API to feed Conductor data into BI tools, data warehouses, internal apps, or custom agents.
Partners and agencies
The Developer Experience is the fastest way to understand how Conductor's intelligence can be embedded into client reporting, internal tooling, or agentic workflows you're building on behalf of your customers.
