REMOTE · MCP.CITEAD.COM · SCANNED OCT 10
Free GEO score of a web page or text: how easily AI assistants can quote it, with fixes. No key.
Available components
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. How we score → Why this is hard to score →
Endpoint Security77
- The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass
- No authorisation is required to call this server. Every tool declares its destructiveHint and none is destructive, so open access doesn't expose one. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Partial
- HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path. View diagnostics → Pass
- HSTS check failed: the Strict-Transport-Security header is absent. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- DNSSEC is configured correctly; the domain's records validate against the full chain to the root. View diagnostics → Pass
Transport & Reachability100
- Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake. View diagnostics → Pass
Schema Quality & AI Usability65
- AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 661 tokens (~330/item across 2 items; 2 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params. See how to fix → Fail
- Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management30
- Stability observed for 9 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial
Tool Coverage100
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 100% of tool parameters carry a description.Pass
- Structured output schemas are declared (100% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.Pass
Tool Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- We read all 2 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 3 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities100
- Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.Pass
How do I install the Citead GEO Score MCP server?
Citead GEO Score is a hosted endpoint at https://mcp.citead.com/public/mcp/, so there is nothing to install locally. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 5 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →
score_text ~269
Compute the GEO score of a text with Citead: an article draft, a page copy, markdown, plain text or HTML. Returns the overall score (0 to 100), the score of five criteria (AI citability, naturalness, authority and citations, semantic richness, content organization), the main fixes to apply, and a link to Citead's free live editor. The GEO score (0 to 100) measures how easy the content is for a language model to understand, reuse and cite: information density, quotable sentences, self-contained paragraphs, sourced and dated facts, clear structure, freshness. Naturalness is returned as a criterion but does not count in the score. It is computed by deterministic rules, without a language model: the same content always gets the same score. It does not guarantee that an AI assistant will cite the page. Free, no API key, the text is not stored. Texts under 300 words get a capped score (at most 65).

score_url ~220
Fetch a public web page and compute its GEO score with Citead. Returns the overall score (0 to 100), the score of five criteria (AI citability, naturalness, authority and citations, semantic richness, content organization), the main fixes to apply, and a citead.com link with the full breakdown. The GEO score (0 to 100) measures how easy the content is for a language model to understand, reuse and cite: information density, quotable sentences, self-contained paragraphs, sourced and dated facts, clear structure, freshness. Naturalness is returned as a criterion but does not count in the score. It is computed by deterministic rules, without a language model: the same content always gets the same score. It does not guarantee that an AI assistant will cite the page. Free, no API key, nothing is stored. Pages behind a login or rendered only by JavaScript may not be fetchable: use score_text with the page text instead.
