Operate the user's RankControl workspace (rctrl.com) from the command line - AI search visibility and citations (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, Grok, Google AI Mode, Google AI Overviews), SEO content planning, article generation and publishing to their CMS, backlinks and outreach, social repurposing, brand memory, and reports. Use this whenever the user asks about AI visibility, AI citations, GEO/AEO, being cited by ChatGPT, their content calendar, publishing articles, AI traffic…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# RankControl CLI

RankControl (https://rctrl.com) wins Google rankings and AI citations for a
website: it plans content, writes articles, publishes them as native posts on
the customer's own CMS, and tracks citations and traffic across AI
search engines. The `rankcontrol` CLI is the whole workspace in the terminal.
Every command prints JSON.

Full reference: https://rctrl.com/docs (also https://rctrl.com/docs/llms.txt)

## Install and authenticate

```bash
# Install (or use `npx rankcontrol ...` without installing)
npm install -g rankcontrol

# A human at the keyboard: browser device authorization
rankcontrol login

# Headless / CI / agent sandboxes: use an API key from
# Dashboard -> Settings -> API Keys
export RANKCONTROL_API_KEY=rctrl_pk_...
```

Verify before doing anything else:

```bash
rankcontrol score
```

If it errors, stop and sort out auth first. An `HTTP 401` means no valid key;
an `HTTP 403` means the key is missing a scope for that command (scopes are
set per key in the dashboard; read-only keys are common). Tell the user which
scope is missing rather than retrying.

## Ground rules

1. **Do what the user asked.** Commands marked **dry run** below do nothing

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add rankcontrol/rankcontrol/rankcontrol@sha256:b24ece85bf742f4c

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261029.e991426, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
