jev-seo is a free, open-source Rust CLI and MCP server that brings deterministic SEO and AI crawler auditing directly to developer workflows without costly subscriptions.
jev-seo is an open-source command-line tool built in Rust that audits technical SEO and Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) metrics without requiring paid subscriptions to platforms like Semrush or Ahrefs. It executes deterministic tasks locally—including crawling site pages, inspecting meta tags, validating schema markup, and verifying robots.txt and sitemap compliance—without requiring any API keys. For deeper intent classification and AI citation readiness, it provides optional semantic scoring powered by Jev via a free API key. In addition to outputting reports in Markdown, PDF, and Excel, jev-seo operates as a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, enabling autonomous coding agents to run audits natively throughout the development lifecycle.
Expensive SaaS suites have long overcharged for deterministic crawling and tag validation, making a local Rust CLI and native MCP server a welcome shift for developer-led SEO and GEO.
- –Replaces steep recurring monthly fees with free, local deterministic checks for crawling, robots.txt, and structured data.
- –Built-in MCP server support turns SEO/GEO validation into an automated capability for AI coding agents and CI/CD pipelines.
- –Addresses the rise of AI search engines with dedicated GEO checks evaluating crawler accessibility and citation readiness.
- –Provides optional semantic scoring through bounded, type-safe Jev models rather than expensive, unpredictable generative LLM calls.
