GEO Tracker by DigestSEO — Claude Code MCP server: install and use
Tracks brand citations across AI search platforms directly from your coding agent. Operates locally via stdio and caches scan logs on your machine.
claude mcp add mcp-geo -e OPENAI_API_KEY=<OPENAI_API_KEY> -e ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=<ANTHROPIC_API_KEY> -e GEMINI_API_KEY=<GEMINI_API_KEY> -e PERPLEXITY_API_KEY=<PERPLEXITY_API_KEY> -e XAI_API_KEY=<XAI_API_KEY> -e SERPAPI_API_KEY=<SERPAPI_API_KEY> -- npx -y @digestseo/mcp-geoWhat GEO Tracker by DigestSEO does
The server runs as a local process via npx -y @digestseo/mcp-geo using stdio communication. It queries configured generative platforms to inspect how conversational search tools reference your business. Scan logs and response cache stay on your machine rather than streaming to a remote analytical cloud.
Configuration accepts credentials for OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Perplexity, xAI, and SerpApi. When an engine lacks a valid credential, the tool skips that platform gracefully instead of terminating the run.
Executing live scans requires Node.js 22.13 or newer. Without at least one active engine secret, the server can only advertise its tool schema to your agent.
What it helps with
- Audit brand mentions across AI search surfaces
- Store scan history and response cache locally
- Run citation checks across multiple model providers simultaneously
- Inspect generative search outputs without sharing data with third-party dashboards
Example prompts for the agent
- Scan AI search platforms to see how my brand is cited.
- Check brand visibility in Perplexity and Gemini responses.
- Run a citation audit for our domain using configured API credentials.
