Elephant Accountability

What is Elephant Accountability?

Elephant Accountability is a public Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for LLM SEO and Agent Discoverability services aimed at B2B SaaS buyers. It exposes tools and resources that AI agents (Claude, ChatGPT, custom LangChain agents) can query to evaluate whether Elephant Accountability is a suitable vendor, without scraping a website.
