Overview

What Claude learns about your site's AI visibility

Ask Claude whether AI assistants name your business, and the extension answers with data: a visibility score from 0 to 100, a breakdown per engine (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini) and the competitor that shows up in your place. It also runs a classic technical audit covering SEO, security headers, broken links and performance, then tracks the score over time.

A score you can explain. get_ai_visibility returns the overall score, the per-engine split and the rival named instead of you, with 7- and 30-day trend data. When the result carries a name warning, the business name behind that score could not be verified.

A fix list, ranked. get_recommendations lists prioritized actions, each with why it matters, expected impact and effort, and generate_schema drafts structured data (JSON-LD, the code that describes a page to search engines) whose name placeholders you replace yourself.

Before and after, on a schedule. track_site adds weekly re-audits, and get_changes reports how the score moved between two comparable snapshots, or says why no comparison holds.

What it will not do: change your website. Every tool reads or reports, apart from the two that switch monitoring on and off; the schema arrives as a draft for you to place. Without an API key, only the sample report works. Weekly tracking runs on the publisher's side; Claude itself only acts while it answers you. Automation platforms for other recurring jobs are on the Integrations hub, and other connectors on the Claude integrations page.

Vocabulary

Five words before you install Website Auditor

Five terms that come back throughout this page, explained once.

Connector
The link between Claude and an outside service. Here it is an extension installed in Claude Desktop that talks to the Website Auditor API.
Tool
One named thing the extension lets Claude do, like run_audit or track_site. Claude picks the ones it needs as it answers.
Approval
What Claude waits for from you before it runs a step that alters something, such as switching a site's monitoring on.
Directory
The official catalogue where each connector has a sheet: publisher, purpose, and the named list of tools it exposes.
MCP
The shared standard connectors are built on: it is what lets an assistant like Claude call an outside service such as Website Auditor.
Connect

Set up Website Auditor in Claude Desktop in three steps

  1. 01

    Add the extension in Claude Desktop

    The directory sheet lists Website Auditor as a local extension that works with Claude Desktop only. Open Claude Desktop, go through Customize then Connectors, find Website Auditor and add it. On a Team or Enterprise workspace, an Owner or Primary Owner enables it first.

  2. 02

    Enter your API key, or skip it

    In the extension's settings, the API key is optional at install. Left empty, only the sample report answers; every audit, check and comparison needs a key, and minting one takes an active Website Auditor subscription.

  3. 03

    Restart Claude Desktop

    The key is read once, when the extension starts. After you set or change it, quit Claude Desktop and reopen it, then ask for a sample audit to confirm the tools respond.

Tools

The 14 Website Auditor tools, by what they do

Website Auditor gives Claude 14 tools: 12 that read your account, 2 that change something in it.

Two groups: what Claude reads and reports, and the two tools that change your monitoring setup. The publisher describes all fourteen in its official manifest. Names stay exactly as Claude shows them.

What Claude reads and reports (12)

12 tools

Twelve tools that audit, score, compare and summarize, without changing your website.

get_sample_audit

Hands back a complete demo report for example.com, built in the exact shape of a real audit: scored summary, per-test results and the visibility breakdown across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude and Gemini. It works with no API key and no setup.

When it helps
before subscribing, you want to see whether the output fits what you need.

Sourcegithub.com · October 1, 2026 ↗

get_ai_visibility

Measures how visible a site is to AI assistants right now: an overall score from 0 to 100, one score per engine and the rival that appears instead. Trend data over 7 and 30 days comes from stored snapshots.

When it helps
you want to know if assistants recommend your business, and who they name otherwise.
Watch out
a name warning in the result means the business name behind the score was not verified.

Sourcegithub.com · October 1, 2026 ↗

run_audit

Runs a one-time audit covering AI visibility, SEO, security headers, broken links and performance, then returns a scored summary by category and a link to the full report.

When it helps
a site relaunch is coming and you want a baseline across all categories.

Sourcegithub.com · October 1, 2026 ↗

get_changes

Reports how a site's visibility score moved, but only between two snapshots that asked the same question with the same business name and queries. When no such pair exists, it explains why instead of giving a number.

When it helps
you changed your pages and want to see whether the score followed.

Sourcegithub.com · October 1, 2026 ↗

compare_competitors

Puts a site head-to-head with named competitors on AI visibility, returning each one's score and the places where they appear and the site does not. It caps the work to your remaining daily quota and lists any rival it had to skip.

When it helps
you suspect one competitor is cited by assistants far more often than you.

Sourcegithub.com · October 1, 2026 ↗

list_tracked_sites

Lists the domains currently under scheduled monitoring, each with its cadence and whether it is active, plus how many slots are used and how many remain.

When it helps
you are not sure which sites you already watch before adding another one.

Sourcegithub.com · October 1, 2026 ↗

get_monitoring_status

Gives a one-glance summary across every tracked site: latest score of each series, date of the last scheduled run, when the next one runs, and the latest like-for-like movement of the score, or the reason there is none.

When it helps
before a review, you want the state of all watched sites in a single answer.

Sourcegithub.com · October 1, 2026 ↗

get_benchmark

Places a site's AI visibility against its industry and location, returning a percentile, the peer median, the sample size and a short position summary rather than an absolute number.

When it helps
a raw score means little to you without knowing how comparable businesses fare.
Watch out
the publisher reserves it for the upgraded tier of its own subscription, not a Claude plan.

Sourcegithub.com · October 1, 2026 ↗

get_recommendations

Produces a ranked list of specific actions to raise a site's visibility and audit scores, each explained with why it matters, the expected impact and the effort involved. Like the benchmark, it sits behind Website Auditor's own paid upgrade.

When it helps
the audit found many issues and you need to know where to start.

Sourcegithub.com · October 1, 2026 ↗

generate_schema

Drafts JSON-LD structured data tailored to a site, with placement notes on what to replace first and where to embed it. The name placeholders must be swapped for real names you confirm; the publisher forbids guessing them from the domain.

When it helps
your pages lack structured data and you want a starting point.

Sourcegithub.com · October 1, 2026 ↗

get_report

Returns a shareable report link plus the HTML snippet of the embeddable "Audited by Website Auditor" badge for a site. Upgrading the Website Auditor subscription is what unlocks it.

When it helps
results should reach a colleague, or the badge should appear on the audited site.

Sourcegithub.com · October 1, 2026 ↗

check_upgrade_status

Reports your own standing with Website Auditor: tier, status, period end and what upgrading would unlock. It works with any valid API key and uses none of your audit quota.

When it helps
tools keep refusing and you want to know whether the subscription or the key is the cause.

Sourcegithub.com · October 1, 2026 ↗

What Claude changes (2)

2 tools

Two tools that start or stop monitoring, which the publisher marks as writing tracking state. No source describes a confirmation for them: the general rule below applies.

track_site

Approval: see the rule

Switches on, or off, weekly monitoring of a site's AI visibility. Its weekly re-audits join the history that get_changes compares, while get_changes itself also accepts a domain that is not tracked.

What Claude asks for
the publisher describes no confirmation for this tool; the approval rules below apply.
When it helps
you want weekly re-audits of a site to build up a comparable history.

Sourcegithub.com · October 1, 2026 ↗

untrack_site

Approval: see the rule

Ends the weekly monitoring of a site and frees one monitoring slot. Running it twice changes nothing more, since the publisher calls it idempotent.

What Claude asks for
nothing documented for this tool alone; the default rule covers it.
When it helps
all your slots are taken and a newer site needs one.

Sourcegithub.com · October 1, 2026 ↗

Approvals

What Claude asks before it changes your monitoring

Claude's baseline: each action it carries out on an account for you waits for your explicit yes, asked right in the chat.

In an organization on Team or Enterprise, it is up to the owners to let members skip the prompt for certain actions, and they can limit what a connector may do for the whole organization. Claude works with the access you give it and nothing more: here, that means the API key entered in the extension, which the publisher says is stored in the operating system's keychain by Claude Desktop. No tool in this extension reaches the audited website itself.

Plans

Which Claude plans include Website Auditor

None of the 819 sheets in the official directory shows availability by plan. For any single connector, that answer is published nowhere: a real gap in the catalogue.

What is published is the general rule: a desktop extension like this one installs in Claude Desktop; remote connectors, by contrast, are open to everyone on Claude, mobile, Claude Desktop and Cowork. On Team and Enterprise, an Owner or Primary Owner enables a connector before members use it. Check the extension's sheet in the official directory for its current state. The Website Auditor subscription is a separate matter, sold by the publisher.

Limits

Where Website Auditor stops

A connector is not an automation. Claude calls these tools while it answers you; the weekly re-audits are run by the publisher's service, not by Claude.

The tool list is an observed floor, not a promise: administrators can open actions that no public sheet shows. The verification badge in the directory is not a security audit, and Anthropic says on every sheet that it does not choose a publisher's tools or vouch for how they behave. Only the publisher, Kevin Armstrong / SpikeyCoder, documents this extension; no Claude help page covers it. Treat its claims as the publisher's own.

FAQ

Questions about the Claude Website Auditor connector

01What can Claude do with the Website Auditor connector?
Claude can measure and explain how visible a website is to AI assistants. Twelve tools read and report: a sample audit, the AI visibility score per engine, a full technical audit, score changes, rival comparisons, the list and dashboard of tracked sites, an industry benchmark, ranked fixes, a JSON-LD draft, a shareable report and your subscription status. Two tools start or stop weekly monitoring. The publisher describes all fourteen in its official manifest.
02Can Claude change my website with Website Auditor?
No tool in this extension publishes anything on your site. The only two writing tools, track_site and untrack_site, change monitoring state on the Website Auditor side: one starts or stops weekly re-audits, the other ends monitoring and frees a slot. generate_schema returns a draft of structured data that you place yourself, and get_report hands over a badge snippet without embedding it. Everything else reads, scores or summarizes. Your site stays exactly as it was.
03Does Claude ask before it starts tracking a site?
By default, yes: Claude's standing rule is to get your explicit OK before each action it carries out in your name. The publisher does not describe a confirmation specific to track_site or untrack_site, so that default rule is what applies. Both tools only switch monitoring at Website Auditor; neither touches the audited site. Owners of Team and Enterprise organizations can allow members to skip that prompt for some actions, and they can restrict what the extension may do for the whole organization.
04Which Claude plans include the Website Auditor extension?
Plan availability is not published for individual connectors anywhere official; across all 819 directory sheets, not one lists it. The general rule: desktop extensions install in Claude Desktop, remote connectors are open to everyone on Claude, mobile, Claude Desktop and Cowork, and an Owner or Primary Owner enables connectors first on Team and Enterprise. The Website Auditor subscription is sold separately by the publisher. Check the extension's directory sheet for its current state.
05What data does Website Auditor see from Claude?
According to the publisher, each tool call sends only two things to the Website Auditor API: the domain you asked to audit or monitor, and your API key. It says the key is never written to the extension bundle or logged. In Claude Desktop the key is kept in the operating system's keychain. Anonymous usage telemetry can be switched off with a checkbox in the extension's settings. That is the publisher's statement.
06Why do Website Auditor tools keep refusing my key?
The publisher documents one cause: Claude Desktop has not been restarted since the key was entered. The extension reads the API key only once, when it starts, so a key added while the app is open stays invisible to the tools. Quit Claude Desktop, reopen it and try again. The publisher also notes that the key sits in the operating system's keychain once entered in Claude Desktop. If it still fails, check_upgrade_status tells you whether the subscription behind the key is active.
07Claude or an automation platform for AI visibility audits?
They solve different problems, so neither wins. Claude with this extension suits questions asked in the moment: whether your business is recommended, how you compare with a rival, what to fix first. Recurring checks already exist on the publisher's side: track_site starts weekly re-audits, and list_tracked_sites shows each tracked domain with its cadence. An automation platform fits when a result has to travel somewhere on its own after an event, which this extension does not describe doing.
