## 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 2026-11-06.

- **Endpoint Security**: 80/100
  - The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key.
  - No authorisation is required to call this server. Nothing on it is marked destructive, but we can't show that an anonymous caller can only read: full credit needs the server to list at least one tool and every tool to be verifiably read-only. We use a best-effort check of tool names and descriptions to tell read-only tools from tools that change things, so some genuinely read-only tools may not get full credit. Names that start with a read verb (get, list, read, search and similar) and accurate readOnlyHint annotations help. Meet that to earn full credit, or require authorisation.
  - HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path.
  - The HSTS (Strict-Transport-Security) header is present.
  - DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC.
- **Transport & Reachability**: 100/100
  - Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 67/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 2100 tokens (~190/item across 11 items; 11 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - 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**: 100/100
  - No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.
  - We read all 11 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 12 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.
- **Capabilities**: 60/100
  - Spec-recency check failed: implements MCP spec 2025-06-18; the latest is 2026-07-28.

## MCP tools (11)

### `check_ai_crawler_access` (~176 tokens)

AI crawler checker

Checks whether the crawlers behind ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Copilot and 14 more may read a page: robots.txt rules (RFC 9309), robots meta and X-Robots-Tag directives, and whether the site's firewall refuses each crawler's user agent. Separates search and user crawlers (which decide whether you can be cited) from training crawlers (which do not). Free, no key. Docs: https://aeolookup.com/aeo-tools/ai-crawler-checker/

Input parameters:

- `path` (string): Optional path to test instead of the URL's own path, for example /blog/.
- `url` (string, required): The page or site to check, for example https://example.co.uk/ (https:// is added if missing).

### `check_structured_data` (~131 tokens)

Schema checker

Extracts every JSON-LD block on a page, lists the schema.org types it describes, flags missing required and recommended properties (Organization, LocalBusiness, Article, FAQPage, Product, Service, Person, BreadcrumbList, Event) and scores entity signals: a named organisation, sameAs links to other profiles, a logo and an @id. Free, no key. Docs: https://aeolookup.com/aeo-tools/schema-checker/

llms.txt validator

Fetches /llms.txt (or the llms.txt address given), validates it against the llmstxt.org proposal (one H1, optional summary, H2 sections of [name](url): notes links), tests up to eight of its links and reports whether llms-full.txt exists. States the evidence on how little the file is read. Free, no key. Docs: https://aeolookup.com/aeo-tools/llms-txt-validator/

Input parameters:

- `check_links` (boolean): Test up to eight of the file's links that are on its own site (default true).
- `url` (string, required): The page or site to check, for example https://example.co.uk/ (https:// is added if missing).

### `generate_llms_txt` (~138 tokens)

llms.txt generator

Drafts an llms.txt for a site: the name and summary from its home page, then its pages from the sitemap grouped by section, with titles and descriptions read from up to 24 pages. Returns the file as text, for a person to edit before publishing. Free, no key. Docs: https://aeolookup.com/aeo-tools/llms-txt-validator/

Input parameters:

- `max_links` (integer): Roughly how many links to include (default 40).
- `url` (string, required): The page or site to check, for example https://example.co.uk/ (https:// is added if missing).

### `score_answer_readiness` (~144 tokens)

Answer-readiness checker

Scores a page out of 100 on 14 published checks: indexable, title and description, one H1, question headings, direct first-sentence answers, structured data, dates, a named author, lists and tables, source links, specific figures, length, declared language and stock AI phrasing. Returns each check's points, what it found and the fix, ordered by points available. Free, no key. Docs: https://aeolookup.com/aeo-tools/answer-readiness-checker/

Input parameters:

- `url` (string, required): The page or site to check, for example https://example.co.uk/ (https:// is added if missing).

### `run_aeo_audit` (~123 tokens)

Full AEO audit

Runs all four checks on one address (AI crawler access, structured data, llms.txt, answer readiness) and returns each result plus an overall score: the mean of the crawler, schema and answer-readiness scores. llms.txt is reported but not scored, because the evidence says few systems read it. Free, no key. Docs: https://aeolookup.com/aeo-tools/api/

Input parameters:

- `url` (string, required): The page or site to check, for example https://example.co.uk/ (https:// is added if missing).

## Common questions

### What is the AEO Lookup MCP server?

AEO Lookup is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as com.aeolookup/free-aeo-tools. Free AI crawler, schema, llms.txt and answer-readiness checks for public web pages. No API key. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://aeolookup.com/mcp).

### Is the AEO Lookup MCP server safe to use?

AEO Lookup scores 74 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 Lookup MCP server expose?

AEO Lookup exposes 11 tools: check_ai_crawler_access, check_structured_data, validate_llms_txt, generate_llms_txt, score_answer_readiness, and 6 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 1,981 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Does the AEO Lookup MCP server require authentication?

No. We connected to AEO Lookup without credentials and it answered, so anything it exposes is reachable by anyone who knows the address.

### Is the AEO Lookup MCP server still maintained?

AEO Lookup is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 6 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 Lookup MCP server?

VerifyMCP ran 13 checks on AEO Lookup, covering TLS certificate, Authorization, HTTPS, HSTS header and 9 more. 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.
