About this Server

The free SEO and Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) Model Context Protocol server that turns Claude Code, Cursor, and ChatGPT Desktop into a senior technical SEO and AEO consultant. Audits any URL, validates JSON-LD schemas, generates deploy-ready sitemap.xml, llms.txt, and robots.txt files, diagnoses Core Web Vitals with exact image optimization recipes, and pinpoints striking-distance keywords directly from chat using your own AI credits.

Real-time Interaction

Direct low-latency RPC protocol communication with structured JSON schemas.

Scoped Sandboxing

Restricted capability bounds to prevent accidental modifications or leakage.

Security & Best Practices

Read-Only Analysis: Diagnostic scans, schema evaluations, and crawler checks operate in read-only mode without modifying server configurations.

Local Token Execution: In npx local execution mode, data processing remains strictly within the local environment without third-party proxying.

Safe Search Console Integration: Google Search Console access uses scoped read-only OAuth credentials that never store user tokens remotely.

Zero Hidden Cost: Audits consume your own LLM credits and free API tiers, preventing unexpected billings or subscription locks.
