Questions

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
