@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.

Install

Add to Cursor Add to VS Code

Claude Desktop — download the latest .mcpb from Releases and double-click it. No config file, no terminal.

Claude Code — one line, no config file:

claude mcp add rankcli -- npx -y @rankcli/mcp-server

Anything else (Claude Desktop, Codex, Windsurf) — the standard config block:

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

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

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

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.

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:

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