Manifold MCP
SEO, AI answers, social, ads and leads data for your agent
What Manifold MCP does
Manifold MCP is a single hosted MCP server that lets an AI agent look up live marketing data. Connect it to Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Grok or any other client that supports remote MCP servers, then ask in plain words: which keywords you rank 5th to 15th for, whether ChatGPT recommends you in your category and who it names instead, which recent Reddit threads ask for a product like yours, or what a competitor is running on Meta.
Its tools cover Google rankings, keywords, SERPs and backlinks; your own Search Console, Bing Webmaster and Google Analytics data (free); what ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity and Google’s AI Overviews say and cite; posts and comments on Reddit, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn and X; public ad libraries; and company, people and work-email lookups. Search, keyword, backlink and AI-answer data come from DataForSEO. You don’t need your own API keys, and each tool tells the agent its price before it runs. Manifold only fetches data: it doesn’t write or post anything. A free library of MIT-licensed skills packages whole jobs such as finding SEO quick wins.
Manifold was founded in London in September 2026 by Jesse Sibley, according to its site; on Product Hunt he said he is building it on his own. It launched on Product Hunt on 12 October 2026 and finished #5 for the day with 159 upvotes and 29 comments.
We have not tested Manifold ourselves. This page brings together its official site, pricing and terms, its Product Hunt page and the official pricing pages of comparable tools, and says where each fact comes from.
What people use Manifold MCP for
- Finding keywords close to page one and content gaps, from inside your AI assistant
- Checking whether ChatGPT, Gemini or Perplexity recommend your product, and who they name instead
- Finding recent Reddit threads where people ask for a product like yours
- Reading competitors' live ads from public ad libraries
- Giving a marketing agent a fixed credit budget for research
The launch story
Jesse Sibley says that if you ask any AI agent how to grow, you get the same generic list: post consistently, know your audience, optimise your SEO. The agent is smart, but on marketing it is guessing, because it can't see your rankings, your competitors' ads or what people are asking for on Reddit.
Manifold gives it that data through one hosted MCP server, so work that used to mean a pile of browser tabs and a spreadsheet becomes a question to your agent. He priced it per call, with every tool telling the agent its cost before it runs, and asked people what they'd want their agent to look up next.
