Connect yourself to my Rhino Rank account. Rhino Rank has a remote MCP server at https://app.rhinorank.io/mcp (Streamable HTTP). Sign-in is OAuth in my browser; no API key is needed. If you can add MCP servers yourself, add it as a remote HTTP server named "rhinorank" and start the sign-in. If you can't, tell me the exact steps to add it in this app. Setup guide: https://app.rhinorank.io/mcp/setup. Once it is connected, show me Rhino Rank's link-building packages to check that it works.
Works best in coding tools that can add MCP servers themselves. In a chat app, the assistant tells you the steps instead.
Or add it by hand
In Claude
Open Customize, then Connectors.
Choose +, then Add custom connector.
Paste the server URL and choose Add. Leave Advanced settings empty.
Choose Connect, sign in to Rhino Rank and click Approve.
Web, desktop and mobile. Free plans allow one custom connector.
In ChatGPT
Open Plugins, choose +, then Add custom MCP server.
Name it “Rhino Rank”, paste the server URL and set Authentication to OAuth.
The first time Grok uses the server, it opens a browser window.
Sign in to Rhino Rank and click Approve.
Tools that can’t sign in
Perplexity, the Grok API, GitHub Copilot cloud agent and other header-only tools use a personal API key. Create one on the AI Assistants page of your Rhino Rank account and send it to the same server URL. Keys expire after 30, 90 or 365 days, or never, and you can revoke them there at any time.
In Perplexity, set Authentication to API Key, not sign-in.
Authorization header
Authorization: Bearer <key>
or X-API-Key header
X-API-Key: <key>
Menus change; the setup guide always has the current path, plus Grok, Perplexity, Copilot cloud agent and other tools. app.rhinorank.io/mcp/setup ↗

Troubleshooting
The sign-in page keeps redirecting
Sign in to Rhino Rank in the same browser first, then connect again.
Your assistant says your email is not verified
Until you verify, it can only look things up. Click the link in the verification email; the same connection can then place orders, without connecting again.
“Connection failed” after you click Approve
The authorisation code went stale. Remove the connector, add it again and sign in.
You want to revoke access
Sign in to Rhino Rank, open AI Assistants and click Disconnect. Or remove the connector inside your assistant.
Every assistant disconnected at once
Changing your Rhino Rank password ends every connection. Connect each one again.

Safety
It Can Order, But It Can’t Pay
It reaches only the account you sign in with, and receives only what your assistant sends to a tool, never your conversation. Disconnect any time on the AI Assistants page of your Rhino Rank account or in your assistant; changing your password ends every connection.
Your card
It never charges a card and never sees card details.
Payment
When payment is due it returns a payment link (Stripe Checkout for Managed Service) and you pay in your own browser. Orders it creates stay unpaid until you pay.
Prices
Prices and totals come from Rhino Rank’s own checkout, not from the AI.
FAQ
Questions, Answered
What does it cost?
Nothing. The connector is free with any Rhino Rank account. Orders are priced exactly as they are in the Rhino Rank app.
Which account do I need?
Any Rhino Rank account; you can create one while connecting. Until your email address is verified, the assistant can only look things up.
Do I need to write code?
No. Paste the setup prompt, or in Claude or ChatGPT add one URL, sign in and click Approve. The commands are only for people who work in a terminal or code editor.
What is MCP?
The Model Context Protocol is an open standard that lets an AI assistant use tools from other services. The Rhino Rank AI Connector is an MCP server that gives your assistant 20 tools for your own Rhino Rank account.
Can it spend my money?
No. It never charges a card and never sees card details. Orders it creates stay unpaid until you pay, in your own browser.
How do I disconnect it?
Sign in to Rhino Rank, open AI Assistants and click Disconnect, or remove it in your assistant. Changing your password ends every connection at once.
Copy The Prompt, Paste It In
Your assistant connects itself, or tells you the exact steps.
