RankCLI SEO MCP server

Ask your AI to check a web page's SEO, speed, and AI-search readiness, and get plain answers back.

This is a small helper that lets your AI look at a web page and tell you how well it is set up for search engines and for AI tools like ChatGPT. It is handy if you write or manage website pages and want a quick check without learning a whole SEO tool. You do not need an account or a key, and nothing is sent to the company's servers.

What is an MCP server? The 30-second version

On its own, your AI can only chat with you. An MCP server is a small helper program that gives your AI a new skill or a connection to something outside the chat. This one gives your AI the skill of reading a web page's HTML and checking its SEO and AI-search signals. Once it is connected, you just ask in normal words and the AI uses this helper behind the scenes.

What this MCP server does

You ask your AI something like run an SEO check on this page. Your AI passes the page's HTML or robots.txt to this helper. The helper looks at things like page speed signals, structured data, security headers, mobile setup, images, and internal links. It also checks whether AI crawlers like GPTBot or ClaudeBot are allowed in. Then your AI explains the results back to you in the chat.

Flow diagram: you ask your AI “Check the SEO on this page”, the RankCLI SEO MCP server connects it to RankCLI SEO, and you get back plain answers in chat.

What you can do with it

Run a full SEO check on a page you paste in
See whether AI crawlers are allowed or blocked in robots.txt
Generate an AI-friendly robots.txt file
Check structured data (the hidden labels search engines read)
Grade your security headers and HTTPS setup
Review image alt text, sizes, and lazy loading
Spot weak internal links and orphan pages

Try asking your AI

“Run an SEO audit on this page and tell me the top three things to fix”
“Is my robots.txt letting GPTBot and ClaudeBot in?”
“Check the structured data on this page and tell me if anything is missing”
“Look at my images and tell me which ones need better alt text”

What it gives back to you

You get a written summary in the chat, not a file to download. It lists findings like which headers are missing, which images lack alt text, or which AI crawlers are blocked. Some tools also hand back ready-to-use text, such as a robots.txt draft or a structured data template. Your AI turns all of that into plain sentences you can act on.

Before you start

What you need

The Claude desktop app, Claude Code, Cursor, or another app that supports MCP servers
Node.js installed on your computer (the free program that runs this helper)
The page's HTML or its robots.txt, which your AI host can usually fetch for you

Good to know

It only reads the HTML or robots.txt you or your AI host give it, so results depend on that page being fetched correctly, and it does not crawl your whole site on its own.
