geoaeo for Continue

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
• Continue extension in VS Code or JetBrains
• A site directory or URL to audit

Install geoaeo

# one-off
npx geoaeo audit ./ --json

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

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

Continue starts geoaeo-mcp over stdio. You do not run it by hand.

Configure the MCP server

Continue reads MCP servers from its config file. In recent builds this is ~/.continue/config.yaml (preferred) or ~/.continue/config.json. Both formats are shown.

Option A — config.yaml (preferred)

Add to ~/.continue/config.yaml:

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

Or with the indexed key form some builds use:

experimental:
  mcpServers:
    - name: geoaeo
      command: npx
      args: ["-y", "geoaeo-mcp"]

Option B — config.json

Add to ~/.continue/config.json:

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

Steps:

1. Open ~/.continue/config.yaml (or config.json).
2. Paste one block above. Validate YAML or JSON.
3. Reload the editor window or restart the IDE.
4. Open Continue Chat and check MCP servers. Confirm geoaeo shows with audit, gen, humanize.

Project scope: some builds also read .continue/config.yaml in the repo root. Use the global file first.

Verify the connection

1. Open Continue Chat.
2. Ask: "What MCP tools does geoaeo provide?"
3. Confirm audit, gen, and humanize appear.

If no tools appear, see Troubleshooting.

Walkthrough 1 — audit a site

Prompt Continue:

Use geoaeo audit on ./ and summarize the score and top fixes. If ./ is not a site, try https://example.com.

What the agent does:

1. Calls audit with {"target": "./"} or {"target": "https://example.com"}.
2. Receives JSON: score, checks[], topFixes[], pages[].
3. Reports the score and the next steps.

Equivalent CLI:

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

Use topFixes to choose the next artifact to generate.

Walkthrough 2 — generate an artifact with gen

This uses gen, which reads geoaeo.config.ts from the current directory.

1. Scaffold config if missing:

   npx geoaeo init ./
   cat geoaeo.config.ts

2. Prompt Continue:

   Use geoaeo gen to create llms-full for this site. Show the first 50 lines.

What the agent does:

1. Calls gen with {"artifact": "llms-full"}.
2. Returns the file text.

Other artifacts:

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

Equivalent CLI:

npx geoaeo gen llms-full
npx geoaeo gen sitemap -o ./public/sitemap.xml
npx geoaeo gen jsonld --type faq

The humanize tool is also available: {"glob": "content/**/*.md", "write": false}.

Troubleshooting

MCP server not shown. Check the config file path: ~/.continue/config.yaml vs ~/.continue/config.json. Continue loads one file. Validate YAML with cat ~/.continue/config.yaml and check indent.

YAML indent error. mcpServers is a list. Each entry starts with - name:. Keep command and args indented 4 spaces under the entry.

npx ENOENT. Run node --version and which npx in the IDE terminal. If Node is not on PATH, use the absolute path in command, for example "/opt/homebrew/bin/npx".

audit returns empty. Use {"target": "./"} from the workspace root. Ensure the directory contains site files.

gen fails with Cannot find config. Run npx geoaeo init ./ in the workspace root, then retry gen.

Reference

• Package: geoaeo. Bins: geoaeo, geoaeo-mcp.
• Transport: stdio only.
• Tools: audit takes target (string). gen takes artifact enum and optional type. humanize takes glob and optional write (boolean).
