Connect your AI to Maark

Maark lets you connect your own AI assistant — Claude, Cursor, claude.ai, or ChatGPT — directly to your workspace. Once connected, you can ask your assistant to do real SEO work in Maark: find opportunities, check pipeline status, propose keyword mappings, import keywords, and more. Your assistant does the driving; Maark does the work.

How the connection works

The connection uses MCP (the Model Context Protocol) — an open standard that lets an AI client talk to an external tool over a secure link. Maark hosts an MCP endpoint that your assistant connects to. You do not install anything on a server; you just add Maark as a connector in your AI client.

There are two ways to authenticate, depending on the client:

• A scoped key (mk_…) that you mint in Maark and paste into your client's config. Best for Claude Code and Cursor.
• A guided sign-in (OAuth) where your client sends you to Maark to log in, pick your organization and projects, and approve access. Best for claude.ai and ChatGPT — no key to copy.

What access looks like

Every connection is scoped so your assistant can only do what you allow:

• Read — look at your data (pipeline status, opportunities, coverage). This is what non-admin members get by default.
• Propose — make suggestions that land in Maark's approval queues for a human to accept. Admins can grant this.
• Operate — make direct changes. Admins can grant this to trusted connections.

Connections are also limited to the specific projects you choose. See Agent access & safety for the full model.

Getting started

1. Read Agent access & safety so you understand scopes and keys.
2. Follow Set up Claude, Cursor, claude.ai, or ChatGPT for your client.
3. See What your AI can do for the tasks you can ask for.

Connecting an AI assistant is optional. Everything in Maark also works from the dashboard — connections just let you drive it from the tools you already live in.
