What Can You Do With It? (Platform: Power Your AI Tools with Conductor Data (MCP))

Before we get into setup, it's worth picturing what you're actually getting access to. Technically it's a new connection; functionally, it changes how your whole team can work with Conductor data. 

Here's a tour of what becomes possible once you're connected. 

AI search: brand mention analysis

Brand mention analysis tells you how and when your brand is showing up in AI-generated answers, and how that compares to competitors across your tracked topics, personas, and search intents. Think of it as share of voice for the AI layer of search. Often, the most interesting finding isn't where you're dominating, but where you're showing up without leading. 

AI search: citation analysis

Brand mentions and citations are not the same thing. A mention means an AI engine referenced your brand; a citation means it trusted your content as a source. That gap might be where content strategy has the most room to move. 

AI search: sentiment analysis

Beyond whether your brand is mentioned, sentiment analysis tells you how it's being talked about — positive, neutral, or negative — broken down by category: price, quality, ethics, customer experience, and more. For brand and PR teams, it's the earliest signal you'll get on a reputation shift. 

Traditional search: rankings, competition, and seasonal trends

For teams with traditional search data connected, the same conversational approach applies to keyword performance: rankings, SERP features, competitive comparisons, seasonal demand. All in plain English, in one thread. The kind of analysis that used to mean pulling multiple reports now happens in a single conversation. 

Account configuration: pressure-testing your tracking strategy

One underrated use case: asking the AI to review your Conductor configuration and flag what might be missing. Before a strategy review or QBR, one question is all it takes to pressure-test your coverage. 

Now that you know what's possible, let's get you connected. The next section walks through the setup process for each AI platform.
