geoaeo for Claude Code

What you get

• CLI bins: geoaeo and geoaeo-mcp
• CLI commands: audit, init, gen, humanize, mcp. No other commands exist.
• MCP server command: npx geoaeo-mcp over stdio
• MCP tools: audit, gen, humanize

Prerequisites

• Node.js 20 or later
• Claude Code 1.0.60 or later
• A site directory or a live URL to audit

Install geoaeo

# one-off, no install
npx geoaeo audit ./ --json

# or add to the project
npm install -D geoaeo
npx geoaeo --help

# verify the MCP binary resolves
npx geoaeo-mcp --help

The MCP server starts over stdio. You do not run it by hand when you use Claude Code.

Configure the MCP server

Claude Code reads MCP servers from .mcp.json in the project root or from your global Claude Code config. Use command: npx with args: ["-y", "geoaeo-mcp"].

Option A — project scope (recommended)

Create .mcp.json in the repo root:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "geoaeo": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "geoaeo-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Option B — CLI helper

claude mcp add geoaeo -- npx -y geoaeo-mcp
claude mcp list

Option C — global scope

Add the same mcpServers.geoaeo entry to ~/.claude.json under mcpServers.

Restart Claude Code after you change the config. Run /mcp to confirm geoaeo shows with tools audit, gen, humanize.

If you use a skill in this repo, add .claude/skills/geoaeo/SKILL.md as well. Claude Code loads skills automatically.

Verify the connection

1. Open the repo in Claude Code.
2. Run /mcp.
3. Confirm geoaeo: connected and 3 tools listed.
4. Ask: "Use geoaeo audit on the current directory and summarize the top fixes."

If the tool list is empty, check Troubleshooting.

Walkthrough 1 — audit a site

This shows the audit tool. It scores 0–100 and lists missing artifacts.

Prompt the agent:

Audit the local site at ./ with geoaeo and tell me the 3 most important fixes.

What the agent does:

1. Calls audit with {"target": "./"} (or a URL such as {"target": "https://example.com"}).
2. Receives an AuditReport as JSON: score, checks[], topFixes[], pages[].
3. Summarizes the score and the top fixes.

Equivalent CLI:

npx geoaeo audit ./ --json
npx geoaeo audit https://example.com

Expected output shape (abridged):

{
  "target": "./",
  "score": 62,
  "checks": [
    { "id": "llms-txt", "passed": false, "details": "Missing llms.txt" }
  ],
  "topFixes": ["Add llms.txt", "Add JSON-LD SoftwareApplication"]
}

Use the topFixes list to decide which gen calls to run next.

Walkthrough 2 — generate an artifact with gen

This shows the gen tool. It reads geoaeo.config.ts in the current directory.

1. Ensure geoaeo.config.ts exists:

   npx geoaeo init ./
   cat geoaeo.config.ts

2. Prompt the agent:

   Use geoaeo gen to create the llms.txt for this site and show me the first 30 lines.

What the agent does:

1. Calls gen with {"artifact": "llms"}.
2. Returns the file content as text. The agent can write it to public/llms.txt or show it inline.

Other artifacts:

• {"artifact": "llms-full"}
• {"artifact": "sitemap"}
• {"artifact": "robots"}
• {"artifact": "jsonld", "type": "software"} — type may be software, product, faq, or breadcrumb
• {"artifact": "webmcp"}

Equivalent CLI:

npx geoaeo gen llms
npx geoaeo gen jsonld --type software
npx geoaeo gen sitemap -o ./public/sitemap.xml
npx geoaeo gen robots -o ./public/robots.txt

The humanize tool is also available: {"glob": "content/**/*.md", "write": false}. Set write: true to rewrite files in place.

Troubleshooting

Server shows as disconnected in /mcp. Run npx -y geoaeo-mcp in a terminal. It should wait on stdin. Press Ctrl+C. If npx fails, check Node 20+ and network access to npm.

Config file not picked up. Confirm the file is named .mcp.json in the repo root. Validate JSON with cat .mcp.json | jq .. Restart Claude Code. Check claude mcp list shows geoaeo.

Audit returns empty or low score on a Next.js app. Ensure you audit the project root that contains geoaeo.config.ts. For local directories, geoaeo scans HTML, TSX, and MDX files and looks for public/llms.txt, app/llms.txt/route.ts, and similar paths.

gen returns Cannot find config. Run npx geoaeo init ./ to scaffold geoaeo.config.ts.

Permission or EACCES on npx cache. Run npm config get cache and ensure the directory is writable. Try npx --yes geoaeo-mcp once to prime the cache.

Reference

• Package: geoaeo on npm. Bins: geoaeo, geoaeo-mcp.
• MCP transport: stdio only. No SSE or HTTP transport exists.
• Tools: audit takes target (string). gen takes artifact (enum) and optional type. humanize takes glob and optional write (boolean).
