Overview

RankCLI's local MCP server; no sign-in required; STDIO; 15 tools.

No AI overview yet: these facts come from the registry entry and the server itself.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open RankCLI in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Desktop only via STDIO. STDIO servers start a local process, so they need the SourceWeft desktop host.

Other MCP clients

Follow the launch instructions in the repository.

README

@rankcli/mcp-server

Free, local SEO + GEO (AI-search-citation) analysis as an MCP tool. No signup, no API key, nothing sent to RankCLI's servers — it runs entirely inside your MCP host (Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, etc.) against HTML you already have or that your host fetches for you. The one exception is rankcli_connect, an explicit opt-in tool that links this server to a RankCLI account.

bash
npx @rankcli/mcp-server

Claude Desktop config (~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json):

json
{  "mcpServers": {    "rankcli": {      "command": "npx",      "args": ["@rankcli/mcp-server"]    }  }}

Prefer not to run anything locally? The same tools are available at a free hosted HTTP endpoint, no npx and no signup:

json
{  "mcpServers": {    "rankcli": {      "url": "https://mcp.rankcli.dev/mcp/free"    }  }}

rankcli_disconnectUnlink this server from your RankCLI account (local only — doesn't touch the account itself)

Connecting your account

Ask Claude to "connect my RankCLI account," or call rankcli_connect directly. It opens rankcli.dev in your browser to approve (or asks for permission first, on MCP hosts that support that inline) - once approved, this server and the rankcli CLI on the same machine both use the connection, with nothing further to configure. It works the same on the free plan: connect a BYOK AI provider key at rankcli.dev/account?tab=ai-provider and auto-fix PRs run on your own key at no cost, including several providers with genuinely free tiers.

Example

Just ask Claude:

"Run an SEO audit on https://example.com"

Your MCP host fetches the page and Claude calls these tools directly — nothing round-trips through RankCLI.

Want more?

This local server works from HTML/robots.txt you or your MCP host supply. For URL-only tools that fetch and crawl for you (seo_audit, seo_geo_check, seo_robots_check, seo_compare), plus the newer Cloudflare AI-crawler-gating compliance check, CI/CD scheduling, and auto-fix PRs, see the hosted endpoint and paid tiers:

json
{  "mcpServers": {    "rankcli-hosted": {      "url": "https://mcp.rankcli.dev/mcp",      "headers": {        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"      }    }  }}

ParametersurlrequiredhtmlrobotsTxt

seo_geo_check

Check if a website is optimized for AI search engines (GEO - Generative Engine Optimization). Analyzes: - AI crawler access by class (search, AI search, user-triggered, training crawlers) - robots.txt rules for AI crawlers - JS rendering requirements (can AI crawlers see content?) - Content structure for LLM consumption - Citation readiness (trust signals) - FAQ/entity extraction capability Critical for visibility in ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Gemini responses.

ParametersurlrequiredhtmlrobotsTxt

seo_robots_ai

Analyze robots.txt for AI crawler access by class: search crawlers (Googlebot, bingbot), AI search crawlers (OAI-SearchBot, Claude-SearchBot, PerplexityBot), user-triggered fetchers (ChatGPT-User, Claude-User, Perplexity-User) and training crawlers (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, CCBot, Google-Extended), with what blocking each class costs.

ParametersrobotsTxtrequired

seo_generate_robots

Generate a robots.txt that allows every crawler class, with one group per class (AI search, user-triggered, training) so a site can disallow training alone without losing search or answer visibility.

ParameterssiteUrlrequired

seo_core_web_vitals

Estimate Core Web Vitals (LCP, CLS, INP, TTFB) from HTML analysis. Identifies issues like: - Render-blocking resources - Images without dimensions - Large JavaScript bundles - Missing preload hints

Parametersurlrequiredhtmlrequired

Parametersurlrequiredheadersrequired

seo_generate_security_headers

Analyze mobile SEO. Checks viewport, touch targets, font sizes, content width, PWA readiness.

Parametersurlrequiredhtmlrequired

seo_ai_crawlers

List the known crawlers by what they are for (search, AI search, user-triggered, training), who runs each, and what blocking it costs.

Takes no parameters.

rankcli_connect

Link this AI assistant to a RankCLI account (rankcli.dev). This is the only tool in this server that contacts rankcli.dev, and only when you call it - every other tool runs fully locally. Connecting unlocks GitHub auto-fix PRs, scheduled monitoring, and a dashboard with history across audits; it does not change how the other tools work. Opens a browser tab for the user to approve (or reuses an existing session if already logged in). Safe to call anytime - if already connected, it just reports who's connected.

Takes no parameters.

rankcli_disconnect

Unlink this AI assistant from its RankCLI account. Only affects this local connection - does not delete the RankCLI account or revoke other API keys.

Takes no parameters.
