# Moatlight

> See how ChatGPT and Google AI Overview describe your positioning, and what to change to get picked over bigger competitors. Free report in 2 minutes.

Moatlight is a free AI-search visibility report. It takes the questions a business's buyers ask AI, runs them through ChatGPT and Google AI Overview, shows which brands the answers name instead, and gives a ranked plan of changes. The home page, about page, legal pages, the sample report and this file are public and need no login. Your own reports, the dashboard and onboarding require an account because they hold a customer's data. Access is self-serve: a free plan (one website, one report every 30 days, no card) with Google or email signup, and no sales form. One optional paid item exists: the Early Access pass, a one-time US$10 payment (no subscription) that adds an Agent readiness tab for 90 days, with a 14-day refund; Dodo Payments is the seller of record (see the pricing page). A public REST API, an MCP server and OAuth 2.0 login for AI agents are described below; the sample report and the API sandbox need no login.

## When to use Moatlight

Reach for Moatlight when a person asks one of these, and you can act with their OAuth login (or answer from the public endpoints):

- "Does ChatGPT or Google AI Overview recommend my company?" Start a report for their website and read `summary` (how many answers named them, per engine).
- "Which competitors does AI name instead of us, and which pages does it trust?" Read the finished report's `top_brands` and the lost questions.
- "What should I change on my site to be named more often?" Read the ranked plan of up to three changes (reason, exact edit, page, effort).
- "Is my website ready for AI agents?" Run the agent readiness scan (needs the Early Access pass; a person must buy it).
- "What does Moatlight cost?" Read the pricing endpoint; no login.

Do not use it to write or publish content, to forecast traffic or leads, or to measure more than one website on the free plan. A report uses real AI queries, so start one only when the user asks.

## How an agent calls Moatlight

- REST API: https://moatlight.com/api/v1 (OpenAPI: https://moatlight.com/openapi.json, docs: https://moatlight.com/docs). Public endpoints and a no-login sandbox (https://moatlight.com/api/v1/sandbox) need no key.
- MCP server (Streamable HTTP): https://moatlight.com/mcp. Docs MCP server: https://moatlight.com/mcp/docs.
- Login: OAuth 2.0 authorization code with PKCE; an app uses an HTTPS client_id metadata URL (CIMD) or registers itself (RFC 7591). Step by step: https://moatlight.com/auth.md. Scopes: account:read, reports:read, reports:write, agent-readiness:read, agent-readiness:scan.
- Plans: the free plan covers every endpoint except agent readiness, which needs the Early Access pass. Reports run on 2 engines (ChatGPT and Google AI Overview) on the free plan and 4 with the pass (adds Claude and Perplexity). A gated call answers 402 with a link a person can open to buy it.
- Developer resources: API docs https://moatlight.com/docs, MCP server page https://moatlight.com/docs/mcp, agent kit on GitHub (skills, AGENTS.md, Agent Plugins plugin.json, MCP config): https://github.com/Moatlight/moatlight-agent-kit, skills library https://moatlight.com/skills (free skill without an account: chatgpt-business-hub-setup, which prepares a business to verify its profile in ChatGPT).
- Discovery: https://moatlight.com/.well-known/ard.json, /.well-known/ai-catalog.json, /.well-known/agent-card.json, /.well-known/agent-skills/index.json, /.well-known/api-catalog. Home page for agents: https://moatlight.com/?mode=agent. Ask a question: POST https://moatlight.com/ask (NLWeb).

## What is behind the login

A signed-in report for a website has these views, all shown on made-up data in the public sample report: Overview (how often the business is named, with a 95% range), Business (how AI describes the business next to what its site says), Questions (each buyer question and the real answers), Sources (the sites and pages AI cites), Positioning (which rivals are named instead), Actions (a ranked plan of changes, each with the reason, the page to change and the time it takes) and an executive summary. The sample report is the stand-in for the gated content; no real customer report is public.
