Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Scan any domain for AI readiness and generate llms.txt, robots.txt and schema. Free, read-only.

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What it can do

Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 7, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.

  • scan_site

    Scans a domain’s public robots.txt, llms.txt, sitemap declaration and homepage, and scores it out of 100 across three pillars: discoverability (can AI crawlers reach it), technical foundation (can machines parse it), and content & trust (does it look like a credible source). Retu

  • compare_sites

    Scans two domains — one after the other, not in parallel — and reports both scores plus every check where they differ. Useful for comparing your site against a named competitor.

  • generate_schema

    Fetches a domain’s homepage for its real title, meta description and declared language, then returns ready-to-paste JSON-LD structured data of the requested type. Fields the scan cannot know — a FAQ’s actual questions, a product’s real price — come back as clearly bracketed place

  • generate_robots_txt

    Builds a robots.txt file that explicitly allows or blocks named AI crawlers from Citehound’s tracked list of 10, plus an optional Sitemap line. Pure text generation — fetches nothing. Call list_ai_crawlers first if you need the exact tracked crawler names.

  • generate_llms_txt

    Builds an llms.txt file — an optional convention for describing a site and its key pages, with no demonstrated effect on Google — from a name, a one-sentence description and a list of key pages. Pure text generation — fetches nothing.

  • get_playbook

    Returns the full GEO/AEO playbook for one of Citehound’s fourteen verticals, as plain readable text: the strategic shift, three actionable strategies, outdated pitfalls to avoid, and an expert-tip placeholder. Called with no argument it returns the list of the fourteen verticals

  • get_benchmark

    Returns Citehound’s own archived scan data for one category — average, median and range of scores, pillar breakdowns, per-crawler blocked, limited and open counts, and the most common failed checks, with sample size and scan date — or a ranked summary across every category when c

  • list_ai_crawlers

    Lists the 10 AI crawlers Citehound tracks: which company runs each, what allowing or blocking it means, and this project’s robots.txt generator’s default for it. Use before generate_robots_txt if you need the exact tracked names. Fetches nothing.

  • get_citation_prompts

    Returns the set of buying-intent questions Citehound uses to test whether an AI assistant names a brand, for one vertical, plus a short protocol a person can run in their own assistant: ask each question in a separate conversation three to five times, note whether the brand is na

  • get_citation_sample

    Returns Citehound’s anonymised sample citation run as readable text: the model, the date, how many times each question was asked, the questions in three groups (named in every try, unstable, never named), the overall rate of being named with its range across sweeps, and a note on

  • get_methodology

    Explains how the Citehound AI readiness score is built, read from the scanner’s own check registry so it matches what runs. With no argument it returns the three pillars with their weights (they add up to 100), every check with its category, points, what it tests and why it matte

  • get_research

    Returns Citehound’s published research: with no argument, the list of reports (the llms.txt and crawler study, the AgaOne case study and the benchmark data) with title, date, one-line finding and URL; with a slug, the key findings, the method limits, the URL and a ready line for

  • get_sample_report

    Returns the sample Pro report as readable text: a real crawl of Citehound’s own site on a stated date, with the results shown as recorded. It gives the whole-site score beside the homepage score, the pillar averages, the priorities from the executive summary with the label saying

Common questions

Is Citehound safe?

It passed 3 of 3 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.0.0) reached the registry 16 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

In the same category: Spec Driven Development, Remote Desktop Commander, Foliosio

README from the maker

Open the README

Copied from the maker’s repo as written. PopNx MCP has not reviewed or endorsed it. HTML, images and scripts are removed. Links lead off this site.

cited-geo-guide

This repository holds Citehound, an end-to-end service for AI readiness: a free scanner, Pro site reports, Fix (we make the technical changes) and Beyond (we write the content). The repository and the Vercel project keep their original names; see docs/rename-notes.md.

Benchmark data

The homepage benchmark section (and the "average of N sites" line on every scan report) is generated, not hand-written. To add a category:

  1. Scan it: node scripts/scan-category.js domains/ .txt — writes data/ -raw.json (per-domain results — gitignored, never published) and data/ -summary.json (aggregate stats only, no company names).
  2. Add one entry to data/benchmarks.json: category (matches the summary filename), label (display name), track ("B2B SaaS" or "Consumer & e-commerce"), note (the unit word for the sample size, e.g. "platforms").
  3. Run node scripts/generate-benchmarks.js — rewrites the block in index.html between the BENCHMARKS:START/BENCHMARKS:END markers. Safe to re-run; it replaces the block in place.
  4. Commit data/benchmarks.json, the new data/ -summary.json, and the regenerated index.html. Leave -raw.json uncommitted — it's gitignored on purpose.

No score or count is ever typed by hand into benchmarks.json or index.html — both are read from the summary file at generation time, so they can't drift apart. Two minutes, no HTML editing.
