Free, local SEO + GEO audits for AI assistants - no signup, nothing leaves your machine.
Runs on your machine from its package; the steps are below.
At most: only reads or looks up information.
Odel charges nothing per call. The publisher may charge for its own service.
Runs locally over stdio
This server isn't hosted — your MCP client launches it from a package registry. Use one of the commands below, or drop the config into your client (e.g. Claude Desktop).
Run
npx -y @rankcli/mcp-server
MCP client config
{
"mcpServers": {
"rankcli": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"@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.
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"]
}
}
}

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:
