🟢mri_list_categories
List every Machine Relations Index category (e.g. cybersecurity, fintech, enterprise-software, ai-visibility-geo) with the question shapes that have published citation rates, plus the source-role vocabulary. Call this first to get a valid category key.
Input Schema
{
"type": "object",
"properties": {},
"additionalProperties": false
}🟢mri_get_category(category)
Return one category's question shapes (best tools, how buyers choose, comparisons, top lists, problem-first research, is it worth it, news) and the evidence state of each: published with rates, collecting, or not collectable.
Input Schema

"type": "object",
"properties": {
"category": {
"type": "string",
"description": "Category key from mri_list_categories, e.g. cybersecurity."

}🟢mri_get_cited_sources(category, question_shape, source_role, limit, offset)
Ranked source domains that AI answer engines cite for one category and question shape, with citation rate (share of monitored answer runs citing the domain), rank, percentile and source role (editorial publication, vendor-owned, analyst research, community, academic/government, market database, wire distribution). Use to answer 'which publications/sources does ChatGPT or Perplexity cite for <category>' or 'where should a <category> brand earn coverage to be cited by AI'.
