# geoseo-mcp
> The only open-source MCP server that covers traditional SEO **and** Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) across Google, Bing, Yandex, and the major LLMs — in one server.

## Why this exists
Every other SEO MCP picks one lane:
- `mcp-gsc` — Google Search Console only.
- `brightdata-mcp` — web access with a GEO bolt-on, vendor-coupled.
- `geo-optimizer-skill` — GEO scoring only, no traditional SEO.
- Frase / Conductor / Cairrot — closed SaaS.
`geoseo-mcp` unifies them. One MCP, one config, every search surface that matters in 2026:
| Surface | Tools |
| --- | --- |
| **Google Search** | GSC performance, URL inspection, sitemaps, Indexing API |
| **Bing Webmaster** | Verified-site stats, query/page stats, URL inspect, fast submit, crawl issues |
| **Bing / Yandex / Naver / Seznam** | IndexNow submission |
| **Google AI Overviews** | `aio_check` + `aio_citation_check` via SerpAPI |
| **LLM citations** | Perplexity, ChatGPT (web search), Claude (web search), Gemini (Google Search grounding), plus a `multi_llm_*` super-tool that fans out across all four in parallel |
| **On-page** | Title / meta / heading / schema / internal-link audit + 0-100 score |
| **Internal link graph** | Orphans, dead-ends, hubs, dangling links, TF-IDF related-page suggestions with anchor hints |
| **`llms.txt`** | Generate from a folder of HTML, validate against the spec |
| **Trend tracking** | Local SQLite snapshots of GSC + LLM citations + AIO; time-series trend tools |
MIT licensed. Runs locally over stdio. No hosting, no API key gating, your credentials never leave your machine.
## Status
**v0.3 — alpha.** 36 tools across GSC, Bing Webmaster, IndexNow, ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, on-page + folder audits, `llms.txt`, internal link graph + suggestions, and local SQLite trend tracking. See [`ROADMAP`](#roadmap).
## Install
```bash
# Using uv (recommended)
uvx geoseo-mcp
# Or pip
pip install geoseo-mcp
```
Or from source:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/Rachit8484/geoseo-mcp.git
cd geoseo-mcp
pip install -e ".[dev]"
```
## Try it without any credentials
Several tools work with **zero configuration** — useful to kick the tires before you wire up any API keys.
```bash
# audit a single page
echo '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/call","params":{"name":"audit_page","arguments":{"source":"https://example.com"}}}' \
| uvx geoseo-mcp
# audit a whole folder of HTML
... "audit_site","arguments":{"folder":"./content"}
# build the internal link graph
... "internal_link_graph","arguments":{"folder":"./content","site_host":"yourdomain.com"}
# generate llms.txt
... "generate_llms_txt","arguments":{"folder":"./content","site_url":"https://yourdomain.com"}
```
In an MCP client (Cursor / Claude Desktop / Continue / Cline), it's even simpler — just ask:
> "Audit my `./content` folder and tell me the 5 worst-scoring pages"
> "Build the internal link graph and find orphan pages"
> "Generate an llms.txt for yourdomain.com from `./content`"
## Configure your MCP client
### Cursor
Add to `~/.cursor/mcp.json`:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"geoseo": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["geoseo-mcp"],
"env": {
"GEOSEO_GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET": "/absolute/path/to/client_secret.json",
"GEOSEO_BING_WEBMASTER_API_KEY": "your-bing-key",
"GEOSEO_INDEXNOW_KEY": "your-indexnow-key",

"GEOSEO_OPENAI_API_KEY": "sk-...",
"GEOSEO_ANTHROPIC_API_KEY": "sk-ant-...",
"GEOSEO_GEMINI_API_KEY": "AIza...",
"GEOSEO_SERPAPI_API_KEY": "..."
}
}
}
}
```
### Claude Desktop
Add to `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json` (macOS) or the Windows equivalent:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"geoseo": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["geoseo-mcp"],
"env": {
"GEOSEO_GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET": "/absolute/path/to/client_secret.json",
"GEOSEO_BING_WEBMASTER_API_KEY": "your-bing-key",
"GEOSEO_INDEXNOW_KEY": "your-indexnow-key",
"GEOSEO_PERPLEXITY_API_KEY": "pplx-...",
"GEOSEO_OPENAI_API_KEY": "sk-...",
"GEOSEO_ANTHROPIC_API_KEY": "sk-ant-...",
"GEOSEO_GEMINI_API_KEY": "AIza...",
"GEOSEO_SERPAPI_API_KEY": "..."
}
}
}
}
```

## Get credentials
- **Google Search Console** — see [`docs/setup-gsc.md`](docs/setup-gsc.md). One-time OAuth flow.
- **IndexNow** — generate any random 32-char hex string and host it at `https://yourdomain.com/<key>.txt`. [Spec.](https://www.indexnow.org/documentation)
- **Perplexity** — [API key from settings](https://www.perplexity.ai/settings/api). Pay-as-you-go, ~$1 per 1000 queries.
- **OpenAI** — [API key](https://platform.openai.com/api-keys). Uses the Responses API + `web_search_preview` tool.
- **Anthropic** — [API key](https://console.anthropic.com/settings/keys). Uses Claude with the `web_search_20250305` server-side tool.
- **Gemini** — [API key from AI Studio](https://aistudio.google.com/app/apikey). Uses Google Search grounding (the same signal Google's AI Overviews are built on).
- **Bing Webmaster** — [API key from Bing Webmaster Tools](https://www.bing.com/webmasters/) → Settings → API access.
- **SerpAPI** — [API key](https://serpapi.com/manage-api-key). Free tier: 100 searches/month. Used for Google AI Overviews tracking (`aio_check`, `aio_citation_check`).
All credentials are optional — tools that need a key you don't have will return a clear error, the rest still work.

- **v1.0** — Stable API, full test coverage, optional remote (HTTP) transport.
See [`docs/architecture.md`](docs/architecture.md) for the engine plug-in interface — adding a new search engine or LLM is one file.
