check_ai_crawler_accessRead a site's robots.txt and test the server for GPTBot, OAI-SearchBot, ChatGPT-User, PerplexityBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended, Bingbot and Googlebot. Returns, per crawler, whether robots.txt allows it and whether the server answers it, so you can see who is blocked and by what.
check_llms_txtFetch /llms.txt of a site and report whether it exists, whether its links work, and whether /llms-full.txt exists. When there is none, the full report holds a draft built from the site's own pages.
backlinksHow many other domains link to a domain, and the strongest referrers, from the Common Crawl domain web graph. Covers domains with 100 or more referring domains under .eu, EU and UK country domains, plus the 5,000 most-linked sites; says plainly when a domain is not in the data.

Compared with every active server in this category in the registry. Stars count only when the publisher owns the repo.
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.
The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.
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.
The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.0.0) reached the registry 14 days ago.
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.

| Tool | What you get |
|---|---|
check_page | One page, fetched as CitedBot (robots.txt respected): what is wrong for AI answers and search, each finding with why it matters and the exact fix. Deterministic checks only. |
check_ai_crawler_access | For GPTBot, OAI-SearchBot, ChatGPT-User, PerplexityBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended, Bingbot and Googlebot: allowed by robots.txt, and answered by the server, or not. |
check_llms_txt | Whether /llms.txt exists, whether its links work, whether /llms-full.txt exists. |
backlinks | How many domains link to a domain, and the strongest ones, from the Common Crawl web graph. Says when a domain is not in the data. |
When a site refuses the crawler or does not answer, the tool says so. It does not score what it could not read.
