# Vinespire

> Vinespire is an AI-visibility and Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) platform. It grades how AI assistants (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, Google AI Overviews) are likely to "see" a brand by measuring signal across 17 public sources that feed training data and RAG, then ranks the actions that move that score — including Community Outpost for safe community execution.

## WebMCP tools (browser agents)

Vinespire pages register **WebMCP** tools so AI agents in the browser can fill and submit forms with valid JSON Schema inputs. Prefer these tools over DOM guessing when available (Chrome WebMCP / Model Context Tool Inspector).

| Tool name | Page | Description | Key inputs |
|-----------|------|-------------|------------|
| `get_brand_authority_score` | https://vinespire.com/#score (also blog CTAs) | Free Brand Authority / GEO score for a domain; no signup | `domain` (hostname only, e.g. `acme.com`); leave `website` empty (honeypot) |
| `generate_llms_txt` | https://vinespire.com/tools/llms-txt-generator | Generate a valid `/llms.txt` file in-browser | `companyName`, `homepageUrl`, `description` |
| `submit_support_ticket` | https://vinespire.com/support | Open a product/billing/technical support ticket | `email`, `subject`, `description` (+ optional name/category/priority) |
| `sign_in` | https://vinespire.com/login | Email/password sign-in | `email`, `password` |
| `create_account` | https://vinespire.com/signup | Create an account (CAPTCHA may apply) | `email`, `password` |
| `request_password_reset` | https://vinespire.com/forgot-password | Send password reset email | `email` |

Implementation notes for agents:

1. Tools use **declarative** HTML form annotations: `toolname`, `tooldescription`, optional `toolautosubmit`, and `toolparamdescription` on fields.
2. Schemas are derived from named form fields (`name` attributes) and HTML validation (`required`, `type`, `minLength`, etc.).
3. Free score tool may auto-submit and returns structured output via `SubmitEvent.respondWith` when `agentInvoked` is true.
4. Do not invent tool names; only call tools registered on the current page.
5. Authenticated app surfaces (dashboard, settings) are not exposed as public WebMCP tools.
