Visprobe

visprobe

How does an answer engine see your site? visprobe reads a site the way one does — the crawler policy in robots.txt, the identity files an engine looks for, the signals in the page itself — and, through the hosted analyzer, whether Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity actually name the site.

Three tools run entirely on your machine; seven forward to the hosted analyzer at https://inite.ai/api/mcp/analyzer.

Local tools (no account)

• check_ai_access(url) — which AI crawlers robots.txt lets in, split into the answer-engine crawlers (they fetch a page to answer a live question) and the training crawlers. Blocking the first kind is what makes a site invisible; blocking the second costs nothing. The robots rules are applied properly: the most specific user-agent group wins, the longest matching rule wins, Allow breaks a tie.
• check_identity_files(url) — which of the ten identity files exist at the site root: /llms.txt, /llms-full.txt, /ai.txt, /ai.json, /identity.json, /agent.json, /.well-known/ai.json, /.well-known/llms.txt, /.well-known/agent.json, /.well-known/ai-plugin.json. A file exists when it is served with a 2xx status.
• check_page_signals(url) — the page's title, meta description, canonical, hreflang alternates, and the Schema.org types in its JSON-LD.

Remote tools (hosted analyzer)

• check_identity(url) — the identity reading with a score out of 100 and what it says to fix. No model asked.
• visibility_fixes(url) — the fix plan, most important first.
• compare_sites(url, other) — your site and a competitor's, read the same way, side by side.
• visibility_history(url) — how the reading moved over time.
• analyze_site(url) — starts the audit that also asks the answer engines; returns a run_id.
• get_analysis(run_id) — progress, then the score out of 100 and what to fix first.
• my_reports() — signed in: your audits, newest first.

Remote calls are forwarded as JSON-RPC tools/call to the analyzer endpoint. Set INITE_MCP_URL to point at a different endpoint and INITE_TOKEN to send a Bearer token. Without an account the open tools answer under a per-address allowance (two a day, per the upstream service's terms).
