Available tools 5

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

scan

get_scan

Status, progress and summary of a scan: overall score and band, category scores, technical health, Domain Rating, rendering mode, platform and the top issues. Set wait_seconds (up to 25) to wait for a running scan to finish.

scan_site

Start a full scan of a website: each page is requested separately as Googlebot, Bingbot, GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot and CCBot, compared with a rendered browser view, and scored across six SEO, AEO and GEO categories, with technical health and Domain Rating. Uses the API key owner's plan quota. Returns a scan_id; then call get_scan with wait_seconds.

issues

list_issues

All issues found by a completed scan, most severe first, with details and example URLs. Filter by minimum severity or category.

robots

check_robots

Read a site's robots.txt and report, for 17 search and AI crawlers (GPTBot, OAI-SearchBot, ChatGPT-User, ClaudeBot, Claude-SearchBot, PerplexityBot, Googlebot, Bingbot, CCBot, Google-Extended and more), whether each may fetch the home page and an optional path, and which rule decides. Uses RFC 9309 matching. Works without an API key (limited per day).

scans

list_scans

The API key owner's recent scans, newest first, with score and status.
