What is AirOps Claude Connector?

The AirOps Claude Connector brings your Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) analytics directly into Claude conversations. Query your AirOps performance data (brand visibility metrics, citation tracking, and AI search rankings) without leaving Claude.

  • Brand context from workspaces
  • DataForSEO + Semrush (keywords, backlinks, domain metrics, competitor data)
  • Real-time SERPs (Google, Bing, YouTube, and more)
  • Content analysis (page scraping, topical strength, content gap detection)

What you can do with it:

  • Build AI and traditional search strategies
  • Create customer usage reports
  • Generate renewal and expansion ideas
  • Research prospects for outreach
  • Run Page360 queries

AirOps Claude MCP use cases

1. Build interactive charts in Claude with AirOps data

"Compare my citation rate to competitors on product comparison queries."

What are Interactive Apps in Claude?

Claude’s Interactive Connectors (MCP Apps) let you see and interact with live charts and dashboards directly in the conversation, not just text.

AirOps Interactive Apps Support

The AirOps Connector supports Interactive Apps in Claude, enabling direct visualization of your AEO data within conversations

Available Visualizations

  • Trend charts (mention rate, citation rate, share of voice over time)
  • Comparison charts (performance by competitor, provider, or topic)
  • KPI cards (current metrics with period-over-period changes)
  • Data tables (pages, prompts, citations with sortable columns)

How to Use: Charts appear automatically when you ask about trends, metrics, or comparisons. View them inline, expand to fullscreen, interact with data points, and refine them through follow-up questions like "Show me just the last 30 days."

Ask Claude:

  • "Show me my mention rate trend over the last 60 days"
  • "Compare my citation rate against my top 3 competitors"
  • "What's my share of voice by AI provider?"

Requirements:

  • Claude web or desktop (not mobile)
  • Pro, Max, Team, or Enterprise plan
  • Active AirOps Connector connection

If visualizations don't appear, verify your setup or explicitly request a chart. If issues persist, try reconnecting the AirOps Connector.

2. Visualize reports and export to Notion

Now that you understand how the AirOps MCP interactive app works, test these prompts and share results to Notion.

[1] Check your AI visibility

Ask Claude:

  • "How is [brand name] performing in AI search?"
  • "What's my mention rate and citation rate over the last 30 days?"
  • "Show me my AI visibility trends for the past 2 months"

Claude will query your AEO analytics and show you key metrics like mention rate, citation rate, share of voice, and sentiment.

[2] Compare performance against competitors

Ask Claude:

  • "How do I compare to my competitors in AI search?"
  • "What's my share of voice vs [competitor name]?"
  • "Which competitors are getting more AI citations than me?"

Claude will show you a competitive breakdown with share of voice, mention rates, and citation rates for each competitor in your Brand Kit.

[3] Track performance across AI providers

Ask Claude:

  • "How do I perform on ChatGPT vs Perplexity vs Gemini?"
  • "Which AI provider mentions my brand the most?"
  • "Compare my citation rate across AI platforms"

Claude will break down your performance by provider so you can see where you're strongest and where to focus.

[4] Export your insights

After getting insights from Claude, create external deliverables (if you have other MCP connectors like Notion connected):

Ask Claude:

  • "Create a Notion doc with this analysis"
  • "Summarize this in a format I can paste into a slide deck"

You can also use the AirOps Report link to share directly, or screenshot the data Claude provides.

3. Identify opportunities and kickstart optimization with AirOps Grids

You now have complete visibility into your AI performance and page-level data. Feeling overwhelmed? Identify your highest-priority opportunities and use AirOps Grids to optimize pages at scale.

What is AirOps Grid?

AirOps Grids are workflow tools that turn AEO insights into batch optimization tasks. Claude creates Grids pre-populated with your selected pages, ready for you to run Power Agents and optimize content at scale directly in AirOps.

[1] Find prompts where your brand isn't mentioned

Ask Claude:

  • "Find high-volume prompts where my brand isn't mentioned"
  • "What AI questions should I be ranking for but I'm not?"
  • "Show me prompt opportunities"

Claude will surface prompts in your topic areas where your brand isn't being cited. These are opportunities to optimize your content.

[2] Track which prompts cite specific URLs

Ask Claude:

  • "Which AI questions cite [URL]?"
  • "What prompts are driving citations to my pricing page?"
  • "Show me the AI questions that reference my blog post about [topic]"

Claude will surface prompts in your topic areas where your brand isn't being cited. These are opportunities to optimize your content.

[3] Create action AirOps Grids to optimize pages

Ask Claude:

  • "Create an action grid for pages losing AI visibility"
  • "Set up a grid to optimize these pages"
  • "I want to take action on these opportunities"

Claude will create an action Grid in AirOps with your selected pages, ready for you to run Power Agents and optimize your content. You'll get a direct link to the Grid in AirOps.

FAQ

1. What is the AirOps Claude Connector?

Instead of switching between Claude and the AirOps dashboard, you can ask Claude questions like "How is my brand performing in AI search?" and get instant insights from your AirOps data.

The AirOps Connector is available in Claude's Connectors Directory. You can find it by clicking "Search and tools" in your chat and selecting "Add connectors," or by going to Settings → Connectors → Browse connectors. Search for "AirOps," click Connect, and authenticate with your AirOps account.

With the Connector, you can:
