# Airefs MCP server tools

Every tool below is read-only: a connected assistant can read what your Airefs account can read, and it cannot change anything. That covers your profile, your sites’ analytics and prompts, and the stored AI answer texts. It also covers competitor and source lists, recommendations, and the brand context behind them.

Whatever a tool returns reaches your assistant’s provider. This page is here so you can see exactly what it reaches before you connect anything.

The tables are generated from the server’s own tool registry, so they match the list your client gets when it connects. Setup instructions live on the [Airefs MCP server](/docs/mcp/) page.

## How results work

Most tools that list things answer one page at a time. The assistant asks again with a cursor to get the next page and keeps going until the server says there is nothing left. The rows in front of you are one page, not a population, so a count of them is not a count of everything.

Some totals come back marked as capped. Read those as “at least this many” rather than an exact figure. If the precise number matters to you, say so in your question, because an assistant that repeats a capped total as final is claiming more than the data supports.

Not every tool pages. Several answer with a recent window instead, which covers the question they exist for but will not reach further back when asked. Others return a single object rather than a list at all. Your client learns which is which from the server, so this mostly stays invisible until you ask for more history than a window holds.

Site names cause more confusion than anything else here. Ask which Airefs sites the assistant can see and it will name each one the way Airefs stores it, usually as the domain. Use that name in your next question and the ambiguity goes away.

Questions your plan does not cover come back as errors on purpose. Google AI Overview as an answer source and long stretches of analytics history both follow your plan, and when one of them is unavailable the tool says so rather than answering with less. That way you can tell a genuine zero from data your plan does not include.

Asking a lot of questions in quick succession can hit a rate limit. The error says how long to wait, and retrying after that usually works.
