  <Card title="REST API" icon="code" href="/api-reference/introduction">
    Versioned REST API with an OpenAPI spec. Pull metrics, manage prompts,
    brands and reports from your own stack.
  </Card>

  <Card title="MCP Server" icon="plug" href="/mcp/introduction">
    41 tools over Streamable HTTP. Query and act on your GEO data from Claude,
    Cursor, VS Code, or any MCP-compatible client.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## Get credentials

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="API keys" icon="key" href="/account/api-keys">

  </Card>

  <Card title="MCP authentication" icon="lock" href="/mcp/authentication">
    OAuth-based auth for MCP clients: no keys to paste.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>
