Configure mentions

MCPconfigure_mentionsWRITE$0.008 / call

Choose what the mention checks watch on one engine: turn the daily check on or off, and set the queries (up to 5) — the exact words a reader would type or ask. Queries a workspace does NOT rank for are the point: those are the ones Search Console can never report on. Use get_mentions to read what the checks found. BEFORE CHANGING THIS, call docsbook_expert with what you are trying to achieve: it names the reading that should decide the value, so the setting is a conclusion rather than a guess. One call, changes nothing.

Arguments
workspace_idstringoptional

Workspace ID (optional when MCP endpoint is auto-scoped to a workspace). Numeric workspace id — OR the project as the user names it: 'owner/repo', the repo name alone, the site's display name, its docs URL or custom domain. Text is resolved server-side; an ambiguous name returns the candidates instead of guessing, so pass what the user said rather than calling list_workspaces first.

surfacestringrequired

Which engine this arms: ai_overview (Google's AI answer), google or bing (the results page). One of: ai_overview, google, bing.

enabledbooleanoptional

Whether the daily check runs. Queries are kept either way.

queriesstring[]optional

The queries to check, up to 5. Replaces the saved list.

cron_expressionstringoptional

5-field UTC cron for the check. Defaults to a daily early-morning slot.

Try it over REST#

The same tool is callable as a plain HTTP request, no MCP client required. It runs on the same server, at the same price.

Your workspace is resolved from the API key, so workspace_id is decided server-side here and anything you send for it is ignored.
