Use Gauge from your AI assistant, terminal, or applications. All three options work with Gauge Chat and Gauge Agents.

​
MCP

Use Gauge from your AI assistant. Connect Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT, Codex, or another MCP client to one Gauge server, then ask for what you need in plain language.
  • Gauge Chat: analyze visibility and citations, manage topics and prompts, create content, and work the Action Center.
  • Gauge Agents: review evals and agent sessions, read run analysis, and launch saved evals.
For example, ask your assistant:
How did our visibility in ChatGPT change over the last 30 days, and which competitors gained? Then show why the latest run of our onboarding eval failed.
Most clients connect with OAuth: you approve access in the browser and choose an organization.

Set up Gauge MCP

Connect your client with OAuth or an API key, and see the tool list.

​
CLI

Use Gauge from your terminal. Run gauge commands by hand, in scripts, or in CI jobs. Every command supports --help, and -o json returns output for scripts.
  • Gauge Chat: gauge chat reads categories, brands, answers, and citations, and manages topics, prompts, and tags.
  • Gauge Agents: run evals locally in Docker or on hosted Gauge, analyze sessions, and compare results.

​
Use the CLI from a coding agent

The CLI also works well with coding agents such as Claude Code and Codex. Install the gauge-agents skill so your agent knows how to use Gauge in future sessions:
Before its first gauge command, your agent runs gauge instructions. This command prints guidance written for coding agents, and the guidance ships inside the CLI, so it always matches your installed version. The hillclimb topic covers the core improvement loop: run a pilot, find where agents get stuck, fix your docs or Skills, and rerun the test.

Install and sign in to the CLI

Install the CLI, sign in or use an API key, and choose an organization.

​
API

Build Gauge into your workflows. Use the REST API to connect custom apps, internal dashboards, and automations.
  • Gauge Chat API: manage tracked prompts, topics, and tags, and query AI visibility reports.
  • Gauge Agents API: manage evals, launch runs, inspect evidence, and query analytics.
For example, list the tracked prompts in a Gauge Chat category:
One organization API key works with both APIs, the CLI, and MCP.

Gauge Chat API

Authenticate, then make your first requests or read the API reference.

Gauge Agents API

Authenticate, then make your first requests or read the API reference.

​
One account for both products

Gauge Chat and Gauge Agents share one account, organization, and team. One MCP connection and one CLI sign-in cover both products, and the organization you select applies to both. See Using Gauge Chat and Gauge Agents.
