Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Check if Google AI Overviews cite your website: citations, competitors and changes over time.

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

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

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

  • Connection: Runs in the cloud
  • Transport: Streamable HTTP
  • Category: Web & browsers
  • You need to fill in: Authorization

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
  • Runs on the maker’s server: what you ask it goes through their server.
  • You fill in yourself: Authorization

Values marked secret are keys to your account. Never share them or paste them into a chat.

You need

Which app do you use?

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

This address needs a key in a request header, which the add-connector menu cannot set. Use Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code instead.

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add --transport http google-ai-overview-tracker 'https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=automationnation/aeo-auditor' --header 'Authorization: Bearer {apify_token}'

Fill in the empty values before running it.

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "google-ai-overview-tracker": {
      "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=automationnation/aeo-auditor",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer {apify_token}"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "google-ai-overview-tracker": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=automationnation/aeo-auditor",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer {apify_token}"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

This address needs a key in a request header, which the add-connector menu cannot set. Use Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code instead.

Your choice stays on this device in a cookie; no account needed.

Values you fill in

  • Authorization secret required HTTP header
    Your Apify API token, sent as 'Bearer '. Get it at https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations (free account).

These settings are generated from the maker’s registry entry. If the README says otherwise, follow the README.

Common questions

Is Google AI Overview Tracker (via Apify) 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?

You need to fill in: Authorization

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 36 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: Browser Use, Chrome DevTools MCP, MCP Server Browser

Google AI Overview citation tracker for AEO & GEO

AEO & GEO Tracker is an Apify Actor that checks which searches show a Google AI Overview, whether your website is cited (and at what position), which competitors and brands are cited instead, and how that changes over time.

Price: $0.04 per keyword ($0.032 on Gold), plus $2 per run from 17 Nov 2026; $0.01 per keyword until 16 Oct 2026 · Run it: https://apify.com/automationnation/aeo-auditor · Guide: https://retracn.github.io/automationnation-actors/aeo-auditor/

Quick facts

  • One row per keyword: whether an AI Overview appears, every cited URL (redirects resolved), your citation position, competitor domains and brand mentions, organic rank, and gained / lost since your last run.
  • Every run saves a client-ready HTML report (coverage, citation rate and position, gains and losses, trend over time, domains cited instead) and can alert Slack, Discord or any webhook when citations are gained or lost.
  • Any Google country and language.
  • About 30 seconds per keyword; keywords Google blocks are retried and never charged.
  • Price: $0.04 per keyword ($0.032 on Gold) from 17 Oct 2026 ($0.01 before), plus $2 per run from 17 Nov 2026. Apify's free $5 credit covers a run of up to 75 keywords.

JavaScript — see examples/node_example.mjs

FAQ

How do I check if my website is cited in Google AI Overviews? Run AEO & GEO Tracker on Apify with your keywords and your domain. For each keyword it reports whether an AI Overview appears, whether your site is cited and at what position, which other domains are cited, and what changed since your last run.

Is there a Google AI Overview API? No. Google doesn't offer an API for AI Overviews. AEO & GEO Tracker returns them as structured data through Apify's REST API, Python and JavaScript clients, integrations and MCP.

What does AEO mean? AEO (answer engine optimization) and GEO (generative engine optimization) mean optimizing content so AI answers — such as Google's AI Overviews — cite your website. Tracking citations per keyword over time is how you measure it.
