Audits how AI models index websites, checks crawler access in robots.txt, and tracks citations in generated assistant answers.

This tool operates as a hosted service via Streamable HTTP at https://api.surfacedby.com/api/v1/mcp/public/. It requires no API token or local code installation, letting any compatible assistant connect right away.
Inside are four specialized utilities designed for generative engine optimization. The planner sets up structured checklists, while the page inspector parses content, metadata, schema markup, and comparison tables across up to five URLs at once. Another utility inspects robots.txt directives, distinguishing retrieval crawlers from training bots. You can also submit generated responses up to 64,000 characters to evaluate whether an AI platform cites a target website or merely drops the brand name.
Because the inspection tool issues standard web requests, it cannot detect firewall rules configured specifically for genuine crawler IP ranges.

- Check
robots.txtrestrictions for AI search crawlers - Verify whether an AI assistant cites a website or merely names it
- Inspect structured markup and pricing tables as seen by AI engines
- Generate a step-by-step checklist for generative engine optimization

Is an account or API key required?
No credentials or account creation are needed. The server runs as a hosted Streamable HTTP endpoint ready to handle requests immediately.
Can the server detect crawler blocks set at the firewall level?
The tool reads standard public files and issues ordinary web requests. It does not spoof bot IP addresses, so it cannot identify IP-based firewall filtering.
