Local Falcon MCP

Remote MCP is the server Local Falcon hosts at https://mcp.localfalcon.com/mcp. There is nothing to install, and it is what the Claude Connector and the ChatGPT plugin connect to.

Local MCP is the open-source server you install and run on your own machine with your Local Falcon API key. It is for developers and teams who want full control.

No. The Claude Connector and the ChatGPT plugin install in a click: add the app, sign in to your Local Falcon account, and approve access. Remote MCP only needs one URL in any MCP client. Local MCP, which you install and run yourself, is the only option that needs some developer experience.

Yes. You connect with your own Local Falcon login and approve access, and your AI can only reach what that account can see. You can disconnect it anytime from your Claude or ChatGPT settings.

Yes. Whether you choose Remote or Local MCP, all connections are secure and encrypted. Your data is never shared with other users, and nothing is stored or used outside of your session unless you explicitly request it.

You can ask things like:

• "Does ChatGPT recommend us for [keyword], and who shows up instead?"
• "How far from our location do we rank for [keyword] on Google Maps?"
• "What's changed on our Google Business Profile since last week?"
• "What should we do to outrank [competitor]?"

Your AI pulls real data from your Local Falcon account and answers from your actual performance.

No. MCP, the Claude Connector, and the ChatGPT plugin are included on every Local Falcon plan, starting with Starter. Scans you run through them use credits just like scans you run in the app. Reading reports and account data does not use credits.

Your AI can reach AI visibility results from ChatGPT, Gemini, AI Overviews, and AI Mode, geo-grid rankings from Google Maps and Apple Maps, scan and campaign reports, trends, competitor comparisons, reviews analysis, Falcon Guard reports, Google Business Profile performance metrics, and your connected Google Business Profiles. In short, anything your Local Falcon account can see.

Yes. Ask Claude, ChatGPT, or any connected AI to run a scan and it runs in your Local Falcon account, using your credits, without you opening the dashboard.

Yes. Developers can use the Local Falcon MCP server to build custom dashboards, AI assistants, or internal automations powered by Local Falcon data.

A Local Falcon account on any plan, starting with Starter, and a Claude account. Add the Local Falcon connector from Claude's connector directory, sign in to Local Falcon, and click Allow. See the setup guide for each step.

Here's a quick summary of what your AI can do once it's connected to Local Falcon:

• AI visibility and map scans: run new scans on ChatGPT, Gemini, AI Overviews, AI Mode, Google Maps, and Apple Maps, and open past results
• Reports: scan, campaign, trend, location, keyword, competitor, and reviews analysis reports
• Campaigns: create, run, pause, resume, and reactivate
• Google Business Profiles: update profile details, services, posts, photos, and links, reply to reviews, and check performance metrics
• Falcon Guard: add, pause, resume, or remove monitoring, and read Guard reports
• Locations: search for locations and save them to your account
• Account: check credits and plan details

Yes. Add the Local Falcon Claude Connector, an Anthropic verified connector in Claude's directory, sign in to your Local Falcon account, and click Allow. Claude can then check your AI visibility and map rankings, run scans, pull reports, and manage your Google Business Profiles in the chat. See the knowledge base guide for step-by-step setup instructions.

They're built on the same thing. The Local Falcon MCP (Model Context Protocol) is the server that lets AI tools work with your Local Falcon account. The Claude Connector, like the ChatGPT plugin, is a ready-made way to use it inside Claude, with no technical setup. For other AI tools, you can connect to the MCP server directly.

Yes. Install the Local Falcon plugin for ChatGPT, sign in to your Local Falcon account, and approve access. ChatGPT and Codex can then check your AI visibility and map rankings, open interactive geo-grid reports, review competitors and trends, run scans with your credits, and update connected Google Business Profiles. The plugin uses your existing Local Falcon account and is included on every plan, starting with Starter.

All three connect your AI to the same Local Falcon MCP server and the same 60+ tools. The Claude Connector and the ChatGPT plugin are one-click installs inside Claude and ChatGPT. Remote MCP is the server address, https://mcp.localfalcon.com/mcp, which you can add to any other MCP client, like Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, n8n, or your own AI agent.

Claude through the Claude Connector, ChatGPT and Codex through the ChatGPT plugin, and any other AI tool that supports MCP, such as Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, or n8n, through Remote MCP. Developers can also build on the Local Falcon API.
