What it does
CitedBy is an MCP server, a connector that lets an AI assistant use it as a tool. It is hosted: an assistant connects to it over the internet, nothing to install.
From the publisher's description, Electra Index matched it to 2 capabilities: seo optimization and web scraping. That makes it a candidate for tasks such as audit website SEO or collect data behind logins.
Facts come from the Official MCP Registry, as declared by the publisher. Capabilities are matched automatically (low confidence). None of this is a test of the tool.
