ai-visibility-mcp
Enables AI assistants to check how discoverable a website is to AI search engines and assistants by inspecting signals like crawler access, llms.txt, structured data, and on-page metadata, and returning a 0-100 visibility score.
README
ai-visibility-mcp
An MCP server that tells an AI assistant how discoverable a website is to AI search engines and assistants (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews).
Point it at a URL and it reports the signals that decide whether those systems can find, read, and cite a site, then rolls them into a skimmable 0-100 score.
What it checks
| Signal | Why it matters |
|---|---|
AI crawler access in robots.txt |
If GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, etc. are blocked, the site is invisible to those engines |
/llms.txt present |
A plain-text map of the site's key facts, written for LLMs |
| Structured data (JSON-LD) | Machine-readable meaning that answer engines lift and cite |
sitemap.xml present |
Helps crawlers find every page |
| Title, meta description, H1 | Basic on-page signals an engine reads first |
Install
git clone https://github.com/draltaway/ai-visibility-mcp
cd ai-visibility-mcp
python -m pip install -e .
Standard-library HTTP only. The single dependency is FastMCP.
Use it from Claude Code
claude mcp add ai-visibility -- ai-visibility-mcp
Use it from Claude Desktop
Add to claude_desktop_config.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"ai-visibility": {
"command": "ai-visibility-mcp"
}
}
}
Then ask: "Check the AI visibility of stripe.com."
Example output
{
"url": "https://stripe.com",
"score": 90,
"summary": "Strong: AI engines can find, read, and cite this site.",
"checks": {
"ai_crawlers_allowed": true,
"ai_crawlers_blocked": [],
"llms_txt": true,
"sitemap": false,
"homepage_reachable": true,
"structured_data": true,
"title": true,
"meta_description": true,
"h1": true
}
}
The tool
check_ai_visibility(url: str) -> dict returns { url, score, summary, checks }. It accepts a bare host (example.com) or a full URL and defaults to https.
