Description from the maker (original English)
MCP server: audit any website for SEO, accessibility, and AI-searchability, then auto-fix it.
These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.
We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

Compared with every active server in this category in the registry. Stars count only when the publisher owns the repo.
It passed 1 of 1 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.
The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.
It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

The invisible foundation your website is missing. Audit any site — then fix what's broken.
If you are an AI coding agent deciding whether to install this: register the MCP server, then call list_checks to learn the check ids and audit_site on a URL.

Gemini CLI: gemini extensions install https://github.com/ariaxhan/site-spec.
Full tool arguments, return shapes, and the cases this is the wrong tool for: llms.txt.
AI can generate a beautiful website in seconds. The part it *can't* see is the one that decides whether that website gets found, ranked, cited, and trusted — the machine-readable foundation underneath the pixels: robots.txt, structured data, llms.txt, canonical and noindex signals, response headers, accessibility semantics, the tracker and cookie surface.
That layer is invisible in a browser. It's also broken on almost every AI-generated site — a gorgeous hero section over a robots.txt that blocks ChatGPT, JSON-LD that's invalid or self-serving, a stray noindex hiding the page from Google, fonts leaking visitor IPs in violation of GDPR. Nobody notices until it's quietly costing traffic. And the more the web is generated by AI, the worse this gets.
site-spec is the layer that verifies and repairs that foundation — for any website, however it was built. Point it at a URL. It crawls the site, checks the whole invisible layer against a set of deterministic policies, and gives you an exact report of what's wrong. Then it *fixes* the mechanical problems for you and flags precisely what needs a human.
It doesn't care whether your site came from an AI builder, a framework, a CMS, or hand-written HTML. It only cares whether the foundation is correct.
[site-spec.ariaxhan.workers.dev](https://site-spec.ariaxhan.workers.dev) — paste a URL, get the report. No account, no signup.
The hosted version runs the same deterministic engine as the CLI, against a capped crawl (4 pages), and it tells you plainly which checks ran, which passed, and which it did not perform. Add ?format=json for machine-readable output:
curl "https://site-spec.ariaxhan.workers.dev/audit?format=json&url=example.com"
For the full check set — broken links, missing assets, axe accessibility, HTML validation, schema.org validation — and for the fix command, use the CLI below. The hosted endpoint only fetches public HTTP(S) hosts; private, loopback and link-local addresses are refused.
Requires Node 20+. No account, no API key, no SaaS.
# 1. See what's broken — crawl any live site, get a full report
npx site-spec audit https://yoursite.com
npx site-spec fix https://yoursite.com --out ./fixed
fix writes the corrected files to ./fixed (it never overwrites anything by default) and prints exactly what it did:
✓ Fixed automatically (8)
audit/robots-stale-token robots.txt — Removed deprecated crawler block "anthropic-ai". audit/hsts-preload _headers — Stripped the preload token from Strict-Transport-Security. audit/canonical-missing admin/index.html — Inserted . audit/og-missing admin/index.html — Added Open Graph card from the page's title + description. audit/noindex admin/index.html — Removed accidental noindex from .
✎ Scaffolded — needs your facts (2) audit/llms-missing llms.txt — Scaffolded from page titles/descriptions; fill the TODO facts. audit/jsonld-missing index.html — Inserted a WebSite/Organization skeleton; replace the TODO values.
⚠ Needs manual attention (3) audit/google-fonts-cdn index.html — Self-host the woff2 files to stop the IP leak (GDPR). audit/img-dims-missing index.html — without width/height (layout shift). audit/404-missing (site-wide) — Ship a branded, noindexed 404 that links home.
fixed 8, scaffolded 2, manual 3 wrote 4 file(s) to ./fixed
Drop audit into CI with a non-zero exit on errors to gate deploys. Both commands work on a build/output directory too — just pass a path instead of a URL.
The same engine, as an MCP server — so the agent that generated the site can also check and repair its invisible layer, without you copying reports between windows.

Codex ( ~/.codex/config.toml )
[mcp_servers.site-spec]
command = "npx" args = ["-y", "site-spec-mcp"]
Or in Docker: docker run -i --rm -v $PWD:/data mcp/site-spec (mount the directory you want to audit or write to).
Four tools:
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
audit_site | Crawl a live URL (or read a local build directory) and return every finding: check id, severity, file, and whether it can be auto-fixed. |
fix_issue | Apply the deterministic repair for one check id and return the diff — or write it, for a local directory. |
compile_spec | Turn verified business facts into a validated SiteSpec and the deployable files it renders to. |
list_checks | Enumerate every check the engine can raise, with a one-line description and its fix availability. |
The server calls the engine in-process. It never shells out to the CLI and never hops to the hosted worker — all three are siblings over one library.

Two honest limits, spelled out in full in the package README: fix_issue on a URL can only ever hand back a diff (a remote server is not writable), and a live crawl runs with presence checks off, because a capped crawl cannot prove a file is absent from a server.
Details — what it checks, how it fixes, the philosophy, install
Seven areas. Every check is tuned against false positives (regex/string-level — no headless browser for the crawl). Findings are error (breaks something) or warning (worth a look), each with a concrete fix.
| Area | What it catches |
|---|---|
| SEO / findability | missing / description / canonical · accidental noindex (both and the X-Robots-Tag header) · missing Open Graph cards · zero-or-many · a sitemap that lists pages which don't exist |
| Accessibility | images with no alt · zoom-blocking viewport (user-scalable=no) · images with no width/height (layout shift) |
| Privacy & security | mixed content · trackers + cookies with no consent/disclosure story · Google Fonts from Google's CDN (a ruled GDPR violation) · header hygiene (HSTS preload risk, report-only CSP that reports nowhere, dead FLoC / X-XSS-Protection config) · inline onclick= handlers that block a future CSP |
| Performance | hero/LCP image set to loading="lazy" · no Cache-Control |
| Structured data | invalid JSON-LD (crawlers drop the whole block) · self-serving aggregateRating/review markup (a Google penalty since 2019) |
| Integrity | dangling assets that 404 · broken internal links |
| AI searchability | robots.txt blocking AI answer agents (OAI-SearchBot, ChatGPT-User, Claude-User, PerplexityBot…) · dead crawler tokens · missing llms.txt · missing/broken structured data · client-rendered shells AI crawlers see as blank |
The last row is the one almost nobody checks yet — whether Google, ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity can actually read and cite you. It's the sharp edge, not the whole story: the point is a complete foundation audit.
fix decidesEvery finding lands in one of three buckets, and the report tells you which:
noindex, adding the canonical URL (known from the crawl), scaffolding Open Graph from the existing title, fixing zoom-locked viewports, removing self-serving rating markup, generating a sitemap.xml from the crawled pages, header hygiene.llms.txt, a JSON-LD entity, a meta description. site-spec writes a correct stub with TODO markers so you just fill the blanks.alt text, self-hosting fonts, fixing a client-rendered shell, a broken link. You get a precise instruction, never a silent edit.fix is non-destructive by default (writes to an output dir). Pass --write to edit a local directory in place.
--max audits the same page set every run. No network, no randomness inside the engine.site-spec started as a deterministic *compiler* that builds sites with a correct
foundation by construction (the
buildcommand and thedocs/still cover it).
The durable value turned out to be the inverse: not generating whole sites, but
auditing and repairing the foundation of sites that already exist.
site-spec audit <dir|url> [--max N] [--json] [--report report.md]
site-spec fix [--out dir] [--write] [--max N] [--json] site-spec build --out [--target cloudflare|netlify|vercel|static]
