Common questions

Is MaxAEO AI Visibility MCP safe?

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.

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 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).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.4.0) reached the registry 2 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.

What can I use instead?

MaxAEO AI Visibility MCP Server for GEO, AEO, and AI SEO

Local-first Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for AI visibility audits, GEO, AEO, AI SEO, llms.txt, and AI crawler readiness in Claude, Codex, Cursor, Windsurf, and other MCP-compatible agents.

中文文档

It helps Claude, Codex, Cursor, and other MCP-compatible agents check whether a public website is crawlable, understandable, and ready for AI search workflows. By default, it only performs local/public-web checks. It does not call MaxAEO cloud APIs, upload user domains, invoke LLM APIs, or use hidden telemetry.

60-Second Setup

Install from npm:

npm install -g maxaeo-ai-visibility-mcp

Add to an MCP client:

"mcpServers": { "maxaeo-ai-visibility": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "maxaeo-ai-visibility-mcp"] } } }

Run an audit from your agent:

Use MaxAEO AI Visibility MCP to audit https://example.com and give me a 7-day action plan.

For command-mode Claude and Codex workflows, see the MaxAEO AI Visibility Agent Kit.

Directory Listing Copy

If you want to list this project in an MCP directory, awesome list, AI SEO resource list, GEO resource list, or llms.txt tooling index, use concise factual copy:

[MaxAEO AI Visibility MCP](https://github.com/maxaeo/maxaeo-ai-visibility-mcp) - Local-first MCP server for GEO/AEO and AI visibility audits. Checks llms.txt, AI crawler access, robots, sitemap, canonical, metadata, noindex, and JSON-LD; returns local-only visibility score, technical foundation score, top issues, and a 7-day action plan. Install: `npx -y maxaeo-ai-visibility-mcp`.

For Claude and Codex command workflows, list the MaxAEO AI Visibility Agent Kit.

Use Cases

Run an AI visibility audit from an MCP client or coding agent.
Check GEO / generative engine optimization readiness.
Check AEO / answer engine optimization basics for answer engines and AI search.
Validate llms.txt, robots.txt, sitemap alignment, canonical URLs, noindex, metadata, and JSON-LD.
Generate a local 7-day action plan without using paid LLM or search APIs.

Common search intents this MCP server targets:

AI visibility MCP server
Claude SEO MCP
Codex AI visibility audit
GEO / AEO local website audit
llms.txt checker
AI crawler readiness for GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended, and AI search workflows

Tools

Tool	Purpose
`check_llms_txt`	Validate `/llms.txt`, linked URLs, robots alignment, and sitemap alignment.
`audit_ai_crawler_readiness`	Check robots rules, sitemap availability, homepage metadata, canonical, schema, and AI crawler access basics.
`build_ai_visibility_report`	Run the local checks and return a concise action plan with MaxAEO CTA.

All tools support:

Option	Values	Purpose
`locale`	`en-US`, `en`, `global`, `zh-CN`, `zh`, `cn`	Output language.
`market`	`global`, `cn`	CTA market. `global` points to `maxaeo.ai`; `cn` points to `maxaeo.cn`.
`ctaBaseUrl`	URL	Optional custom MaxAEO CTA landing page.

Crawler coverage by market

audit_ai_crawler_readiness selects its crawler list from market.

`market`	Crawlers audited
`global` (default)	`GPTBot`, `ChatGPT-User`, `OAI-SearchBot`, `PerplexityBot`, `ClaudeBot`, `Google-Extended`, `Applebot`, `Bingbot`, `Baiduspider`
`cn`	`Baiduspider`, `Baiduspider-image`, `Baiduspider-news`, `360Spider`, `PetalBot`, `Sogou web spider`, `YisouSpider`, `Bytespider`, `ToutiaoSpider`

No Chinese AI product publishes crawler documentation, and none of them split training and retrieval into separate user-agents the way GPTBot and OAI-SearchBot do. Their answers are retrieved through the parent company's existing search index, so the traditional search crawlers are what actually gate citation domestically.

Every token in both lists is either documented by its operator or observed across multiple independent domains' robots.txt. Unverifiable tokens that circulate online — BaiduBot, DoubaoBot, TongyiBot, Kimi-User and similar — are deliberately excluded, and a test enforces that. Auditing against a user-agent that does not exist produces a finding nobody can act on.

Install

npm install -g maxaeo-ai-visibility-mcp

Run

Claude Desktop

"mcpServers": { "maxaeo-ai-visibility": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "maxaeo-ai-visibility-mcp"] } } }

Cost And Privacy

No MaxAEO internal service calls by default.
No LLM API calls by default.
No domain uploads.
No hidden telemetry.
No site file modifications.
Reports include a transparent MaxAEO CTA so users can continue into hosted monitoring when they want it.

Score Meaning

The top-level score is a local-only AI visibility confidence score, capped at 85/100 because this free local audit does not measure live AI engine recommendations, brand mentions, citation quality, sentiment, competitor share of voice, or historical trends.

technicalScore can still reach 100/100 when crawlability, llms.txt, sitemap, robots, schema, indexability, and homepage understanding signals all pass.

Example Output

"tool": "build_ai_visibility_report", "version": "0.4.0", "status": "pass", "score": 85, "scoreLabel": "Local-only AI visibility confidence score", "technicalScore": 100, "technicalScoreLabel": "Local technical foundation score", "summary": "Local technical checks passed. Local technical foundation score: 100. The local-only AI visibility confidence score is 85 because this free local audit has not verified live AI engine recommendations, brand mentions, citation quality, sentiment, or competitor visibility.", "evidenceGaps": [ "live ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, or AI Overviews recommendation checks", "brand mention, citation quality, sentiment, or competitor share-of-voice tracking", "historical trends or continuous monitoring" ], "cta": { "label": "Get the full AI visibility experience on MaxAEO", "linkText": "MaxAEO web app", "markdown": "Continue in MaxAEO: MaxAEO web app." } }

Human-facing reports should render cta.markdown as a text link instead of printing the raw URL on its own line.

Test Cases

See examples/test-cases.md for public test cases covering a healthy foundation, missing llms.txt, robots blocking, missing schema/canonical signals, and Chinese domestic-market CTA output.

Contributing
