A kariops MCP connector for Claude
See how AI search describes your business each month, and get the copy fixes you can apply yourself.
When someone asks ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, or Gemini which business to use for what you do, the AI gives them an answer. That answer might be your business, your competitor's, or no one at all.
Kariops pulse runs a monthly check across all four engines, drafts the page-copy fixes that would change the answer, and returns them in chat for you to apply yourself.
It lives inside Claude. You install it once, point it at your brand, and it works in every Claude chat from then on. Free, always. You bring your own engine API keys, so the scan cost stays yours and the connector never spends kariops money on your traffic.

Questions before you install
- How do I check if my business shows up in ChatGPT and other AI search tools?
- The fastest check is to ask ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Gemini the questions your customers ask, and read what each one says about your business. That works once. To track it over time, you need a tool that runs the same set of prompts every month, logs what shows up, and tells you what changed. Kariops pulse runs that check for you across four engines on a monthly cadence so you can see the trend, not just the snapshot.
- Is AI search optimization different from SEO?
- It overlaps. The same fundamentals matter: clear writing, strong reviews, accurate business listings, structured data on your site. Google's official position is that optimizing for AI search is still SEO. What changes is which signals matter most. Large language models pull from sources like Reddit, third-party reviews, and authoritative trade publications more aggressively than Google search ever did, and they care about how directly your page answers a specific question. Kariops pulse looks at what is actually getting your brand cited and tells you which pages need a copy adjustment to close the gap.
- Why does my competitor show up in ChatGPT but my business does not?
- Usually one of four things. They have more recent reviews on the platforms AI tools trust most. They have third-party mentions, a press article, a podcast quote, an industry feature, that the model has learned to cite. Their website has structured data and clear question-and-answer content that the model can extract cleanly. Or they have a Reddit footprint, which currently carries outsized weight in many AI responses. Kariops pulse names which of these is closing your gap and where the highest-leverage fix is for your business.
- How long does it take to show up in AI search after I make changes?
- Faster than most people expect. Perplexity can pick up changes in 24 to 72 hours, and the other engines refresh on their own cadence. Building consistent citation presence across multiple queries usually takes four to eight weeks of steady work. Kariops pulse runs monthly so you can see the lift after each round of fixes without checking every day.
- Should small businesses care about AI search yet?
- If your customers are using ChatGPT, Claude, or Perplexity to research what they buy, yes. Mission-driven small businesses have an advantage here: distinctive positioning, real reviews, and authentic third-party mentions are exactly what AI models reward. The earlier your business gets into the recommendation set the AI tools draw from, the lower the cost of staying there.
