}Auth is OAuth 2.1 against Profound. Cursor prompts for Profound sign-in when the plugin connects — there is no API key or client ID to configure.
| Category | Capabilities |
|---|---|
| Discovery | Confirm the signed-in user, then list organizations, regions, models, categories, domains, tags, topics, and prompts |
| Visibility | Share of voice, mentions, and position across answer engines such as ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews |
| Citations & sentiment | Track which pages answer engines cite, and how they talk about a brand or category |
| Agent analytics | Bot crawl reports, referral traffic from answer engines, and raw analytics |
| Profound Agents | List, build, publish, and run Agents, then poll runs for status and outputs |
The hosted runtime is the source of truth for tool names and schemas. Call whoami as a read-only smoke test after connecting.
- Tool calls run as the Profound user who authorizes the connection and cannot exceed that user's permissions.
- Analytics tools are read-only. Agent tools can create, update, publish, and run Agent definitions in the signed-in organization.
- Enterprise plans can authenticate with a long-lived Bearer API key instead of OAuth. This plugin uses the recommended OAuth flow. See Authentication.
