Questions

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.

Claude Desktop using aeo-mcp to inspect The Verge's AI crawler policy

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

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
