io.github.arthurcarlsonn/aeo-mcp — MCP Server for Security & Auth

aeo-mcp

An MCP server that gives AI agents — Claude, Claude Code, Cursor, anything speaking the Model Context Protocol — tools to inspect a website's visibility to AI answer engines. Crawler permissions, llms.txt, structured data, on-page signals, and a full 29-check AI-readiness audit (powered by answer-audit), each one tool call away. Read-only, no API keys, no telemetry.

Real session: Claude Desktop discovers The Verge allows GPTBot (OpenAI licensing deal) while blocking ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended, and CCBot — one tool call.

Install

Claude Code

claude mcp add aeo -- npx -y aeo-mcp

Claude Desktop (claude_desktop_config.json)

{ "mcpServers": { "aeo": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "aeo-mcp"] } } }

Cursor (.cursor/mcp.json)

{ "mcpServers": { "aeo": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "aeo-mcp"] } } }

Tools

Tool	When the agent uses it	Input	Returns
`audit_url`	"How visible is this site to ChatGPT/Perplexity?" — full AEO health check	`{ url }`	0-100 score, grade, category breakdown, failed/warned checks with fixes
`check_ai_crawlers`	"Is GPTBot blocked?" — robots.txt policy per AI bot	`{ url }`	Per-bot allow/block verdicts with the matching rule, plus sitemaps
`inspect_llms_txt`	"Does this site have llms.txt? Is it valid?"	`{ url }`	Title, summary, sections with links, structural issues, raw excerpt
`extract_structured_data`	"What schema markup does this page have?"	`{ url }`	JSON-LD types, key fields per node, parse errors
`extract_page_signals`	"Why do engines misread this page?"	`{ url }`	Title, meta description, h1, canonical, lang, text ratio, heading outline, client-side-rendering flag

Bots checked by check_ai_crawlers: GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended, CCBot, Bingbot.

Try these prompts

"Audit glowlab.com and summarize the top 3 AEO fixes."
"Compare the AI crawler policies of nike.com and adidas.com — who is more open to being cited?"
"Check if my site has a valid llms.txt, and if not, draft one from my page signals."

Security

The server fetches model-supplied URLs, so it ships with an SSRF guard: http/https only, DNS resolution checked against private and special ranges (loopback, RFC1918, link-local, unique-local, IPv4-mapped forms), re-validation on every redirect hop, 10 s timeout, 2 MB body cap, max 5 redirects. Violations return a clean tool error, never an exception. All tools are read-only and no LLM calls happen inside the server.

Development

npm install
npm run build   # required before npm test (the protocol test runs dist/)
npm test

Tests include a scripted stdio round-trip (initialize → tools/list → tools/call) against the built server. To inspect interactively:

npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector node dist/index.js
