io.github.houtini-ai/geo-analyzer MCP Server
io.github.houtini-ai/geo-analyzer
Scores content on signals that get it cited by ChatGPT, Perplexity, and AI Overviews.
What is the io.github.houtini-ai/geo-analyzer MCP server?
GEO Analyzer is a deprecated MCP server that analyzes content for AI search visibility by measuring signals that influence citation by ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews. It evaluates claim density, information density, answer frontloading, semantic triples, entity recognition, and sentence structure using Claude Sonnet locally. The project has been consolidated into SEO Audit Console and is no longer maintained.
GEO Analyzer examines web pages and text content for factors that determine whether AI systems will cite them as sources. It scores extractability, readability, and citability based on research-backed metrics like claim density (4+ per 100 words), optimal sentence length (15-20 words), and information density. Analysis runs locally using Claude Sonnet with no external dependencies or data transmission.

Tools & capabilities
Tools this server exposes to the agent.
analyze_url— Fetches and analyzes published web pages for AI citation signals. Accepts URL, optional topic context for relevance scoring, and output format (detailed or summary).analyze_text— Analyzes pasted content directly (minimum 500 characters) for AI citation signals. Accepts text content, optional topic context, and output format (detailed or summary).
Use cases
- Optimize article content to improve chances of being cited by AI search systems like Google AI Overviews and Perplexity
- Evaluate existing web pages for extractability and identify specific improvements to claim density and sentence structure
- Analyze competitor content to understand what signals make their pages more citable by AI systems
- Score content readability and citability metrics before publishing to maximize AI visibility
- Compare text versions to see which structure and density improvements increase AI citation likelihood
io.github.houtini-ai/geo-analyzer MCP server FAQ
GEO Analyzer analyzes content for signals that influence AI citation by systems like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews. However, it is deprecated and no longer maintained. Its functionality has been consolidated into SEO Audit Console (@houtini/seo-audit-console), which you should migrate to instead.
Add it to your claude_desktop_config.json with the command 'npx -y @houtini/geo-analyzer@latest' and set your ANTHROPIC_API_KEY environment variable. For Claude Code CLI, use 'claude mcp add' with the same command and API key.
You need an Anthropic API key (from console.anthropic.com) set as the ANTHROPIC_API_KEY environment variable. The analysis runs locally using Claude Sonnet 4.5.
The tool itself is free and open-source (MIT license), but each analysis costs approximately $0.14 in Anthropic API credits since it uses Claude Sonnet 4.5 for semantic extraction.
You can analyze published URLs (must be publicly accessible, not paywalled) or paste text directly (minimum 500 characters). URL analysis takes 8-10 seconds; text analysis takes 5-7 seconds.
Migrate to SEO Audit Console (npm i @houtini/seo-audit-console), which includes GEO Analyzer's AI-search content analysis plus full technical SEO auditing, passage relevance scoring, agent readiness, and content extractability in one MCP.

[!WARNING] Deprecated and no longer maintained. GEO Analyzer's AI-search content analysis has been consolidated into SEO Audit Console (
npm i @houtini/seo-audit-console) — which scores AI-Overview citation, passage relevance, agent readiness and content extractability alongside a full technical SEO audit, all in one MCP. Please migrate there.

What It Does
GEO Analyzer examines content for the signals AI systems use when selecting sources to cite:
- Claim Density - Extractable facts per 100 words
- Information Density - Word count vs predicted AI coverage
- Answer Frontloading - How quickly key information appears
- Semantic Triples - Structured (subject, predicate, object) relationships
- Entity Recognition - Named entities AI can reference
- Sentence Structure - Optimal length for AI parsing
The analysis runs locally using Claude Sonnet 4.5 for semantic extraction. No external services, no data leaving your machine.
Installation
Claude Desktop
Add to your claude_desktop_config.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"geo-analyzer": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@houtini/geo-analyzer@latest"],
"env": {
"ANTHROPIC_API_KEY": "sk-ant-..."
}
}
}
}
Config locations:
- Windows:
%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json - macOS:
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json - Linux:
~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
Restart Claude Desktop after saving.
Claude Code (CLI)
Claude Code uses a different registration mechanism -- it doesn't read claude_desktop_config.json. Use claude mcp add instead:
claude mcp add -e ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-... -s user geo-analyzer -- npx -y @houtini/geo-analyzer@latest
Verify with:
claude mcp get geo-analyzer
You should see Status: Connected.
Requirements
- Node.js 20+
- Anthropic API key (console.anthropic.com)
