## Trust breakdown

How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically against the live server, and we only credit what we can confirm. Scores are 0–100 per category. Scoring method: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring (what has changed: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring/changelog)

Scored 2026-11-05.

- **Endpoint Security**: 49/100
  - The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key.
  - Authorisation not fully verified: no authorisation is required to call this server, and 3 tool(s) never declared a destructiveHint. The MCP spec treats an absent hint as destructive by default, so we cannot call this surface safe.
  - HTTPS check failed: the endpoint is reachable over plaintext HTTP.
  - HSTS check failed: the Strict-Transport-Security header is absent.
  - DNSSEC is configured correctly; the domain's records validate against the full chain to the root.
- **Transport & Reachability**: 100/100
  - Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 77/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Tool/resource definitions use about 289 tokens (~96/item across 3 items; 3 tools + 0 resources), lean.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 23/100
  - Stability observed for 7 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **Tool Coverage**: 100/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 100% of tool parameters carry a description.
- **Tool Safety**: 75/100
  - No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.
  - 0 of 1 tool(s) whose name or description implies an irreversible operation declare an MCP destructiveHint annotation; "audit_domain" implies "execute" and declares no destructiveHint at all, which the MCP spec reads as destructive by default.
  - An AI judge read all 3 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.
- **Capabilities**: 40/100
  - Spec-recency check failed: implements MCP spec 2025-03-26; the latest is 2026-07-28.

## Common questions

### What is the AEO Auditor — AI Search & Agent Readiness Engine MCP server?

AEO Auditor — AI Search & Agent Readiness Engine is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as com.aeoauditing/aeo-auditor-mcp. Live AEO, GEO, JSON-LD Schema, robots.txt AI crawler, and Agent Readiness diagnostic auditor. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://api.aeoauditing.com/mcp).

### Is the AEO Auditor — AI Search & Agent Readiness Engine MCP server safe to use?

AEO Auditor — AI Search & Agent Readiness Engine scores 61 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.

### What tools does the AEO Auditor — AI Search & Agent Readiness Engine MCP server expose?

AEO Auditor — AI Search & Agent Readiness Engine exposes 3 tools: audit_domain, get_domain_benchmark, validate_robots_txt. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 289 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Does the AEO Auditor — AI Search & Agent Readiness Engine MCP server require authentication?

No. We connected to AEO Auditor — AI Search & Agent Readiness Engine without credentials and it answered, so anything it exposes is reachable by anyone who knows the address.

### Is the AEO Auditor — AI Search & Agent Readiness Engine MCP server still maintained?

AEO Auditor — AI Search & Agent Readiness Engine is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 5 November 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.

### What did VerifyMCP test on the AEO Auditor — AI Search & Agent Readiness Engine MCP server?

VerifyMCP ran 12 checks on AEO Auditor — AI Search & Agent Readiness Engine, covering TLS certificate, HTTPS, HSTS header, DNSSEC and 8 more. One item could not be completed, a gap on our side rather than a finding about AEO Auditor — AI Search & Agent Readiness Engine: Authorization. Supply Chain Security and Provenance & Transparency do not apply to a hosted endpoint, so they were not tested. The score does not measure everything, and the scoring documentation lists what it leaves out.
