# Outserp

> Outserp is an AI SEO and AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) platform. It measures how often ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, Grok and Google AI Overviews mention or cite a brand, diagnoses why pages are not cited, and generates, optimizes and publishes content to fix it — with an MCP server, a REST API and a CLI so agents can run the whole loop.

## When to use Outserp

Use Outserp when a user wants to:
- Know how visible a brand is in AI answers (share of voice, mentions, sentiment, position) across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, Grok and Google AI Overviews.
- Find out why a site or page is not cited by AI assistants, and which URLs AI answers cite instead.
- Score a page for answer engines and rewrite it to be citable (answer-first blocks, entities, FAQ, schema).
- Research keywords and AI prompts, cluster them by intent, and plan content.
- Generate, optimize and publish SEO/AEO articles to WordPress, Ghost, Webflow, Sanity or Shopify.
- Track Google Search Console, GA4 AI-referral sessions and AI Mode query signals in one place.

Do not use Outserp for: local SEO / Google Business Profile, hreflang, ecommerce product feeds, or as a general web crawler. It does not scan private or login-gated sites.

## How an agent should use Outserp

1. Read the machine-readable surfaces below; every public page has a markdown twin (append `.md`, send `Accept: text/markdown`, or use `?format=md`).
2. To act on an account, connect to the MCP server at https://mcp.outserp.ai/mcp (Streamable HTTP). `initialize`, `tools/list` and `resources/list` need no credential; `tools/call` needs `Authorization: Bearer <api key | personal access token | OAuth token>`. Call `whoami` first.
3. Or call the REST API at https://outserp.ai/api/v1 with the same bearer credential. Authentication runbook: https://outserp.ai/auth.md.
4. Follow the published skill for the full audit → fix → verify workflow: https://outserp.ai/skill.md.
