How it works

Ask Open WebUI. Rankbox does the research.

Rankbox runs as an MCP server, the open standard Open WebUI uses to call outside tools. You connect it once.

  1. What do people ask AI about home solar batteries? Group them so I can plan posts.

    01

    You ask Open WebUI

    In plain words, the way you already work. No commands to learn.

  2. generate_ai_questions(“home solar batteries”)

    02

    Open WebUI calls Rankbox

    It picks the right Rankbox tool and sends only what the tool needs.

    • Which home battery is best to pair with solar?
    • Powerwall vs Enphase IQ Battery: which is better?

    03

    The research comes back

    Open WebUI works with it right away: plans, writes, or builds from it.

No. The MCP connection is for research and planning. To publish articles to your site automatically, connect it with one of Rankbox's website integrations or the REST API.
