AEO Scanner

AEO Scanner — MCP Server

AI search visibility audit for any website. Three scores, one scan.

What it does

• AEO Score (0-100): How well AI search engines (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews) can find, read, and cite your content
• GEO Score (0-100): How likely AI is to cite your site as a source — citation readiness for AI-generated answers
• Agent Readiness (0-100): How easily AI agents can understand, interact with, and transact on your site
• Mention Readiness (0-100): Predicts how likely AI will mention your brand, based on 12 research-backed signals
• AI Identity Card: How AI currently perceives your brand — gaps, citable claims, detected competitors
• Business Profile: Auto-detected business type (commerce/saas/media/general) with which scores matter most

Quick start

Remote server (recommended) — zero install, just add the URL:

# Claude Code
claude mcp add --transport http aeo-scanner https://aeo-mcp.convrgent.ai/mcp

# Claude Desktop / Claude.ai
# Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector → https://aeo-mcp.convrgent.ai/mcp

# Cursor — add to .cursor/mcp.json
{ "aeo-scanner": { "url": "https://aeo-mcp.convrgent.ai/mcp" } }

Then ask your AI assistant: "Scan example.com for AI visibility"

Alternative: local install via PyPI (stdio transport):

claude mcp add aeo-scanner -- uvx aeo-scanner

| Tool | What it does | Price | |------|-------------|-------| | scan_site | Quick triple-score scan + AI Identity Card + mention readiness + business profile + top issues | Free | | audit_site | Full 58+ check breakdown across 12 categories (4 AEO + 4 GEO + 4 Agent) | $1.00 | | compare_sites | Two-site gap analysis + category winners + overtake fix code | $3.00 | | fix_site | Generated fix code with two-tier score projections — apply directly with Claude Code | $5.00 |

Free tier

scan_site works without any authentication. No API key, no wallet, no setup.

Rate limits: 20 scans/hour per IP, 5 per URL per day.

Paid tools

audit_site, compare_sites, and fix_site require an API key:

1. Get your key at scan.convrgent.ai
2. Set AEO_API_KEY in your MCP config

Or pay per call with USDC via x402 protocol (Base network).

Workflow

The included optimize_site prompt guides the full workflow:

1. Scan — get baseline scores + mention readiness + business profile (free)
2. Compare — benchmark against detected competitors ($3)
3. Audit — see detailed breakdown by category ($1)
4. Fix — get working code with quick-win and full-ceiling projections ($5)
5. Rescan — verify improvement across all scores (free)

Scoring

58+ checks across 12 categories. See the built-in aeo://reference/scoring-methodology resource for full details.

AEO categories: Structured Data (30%), Meta & Technical (20%), AI Accessibility (25%), Content Quality (25%)

GEO categories: Brand Narrative Clarity (25%), Citation Readiness (25%), Authority Signals (25%), Entity Definition (25%)

Agent Readiness categories: Machine Identity (30%), API Discoverability (25%), Structured Actions (25%), Programmatic Access (20%)
