Developer Guide

Everything in the dashboard is available programmatically: a REST API for scripts and integrations, and an MCP server for AI coding agents.

API keysCopy Anchor Link

Create keys in Settings → MCP (dashboard). Keys are org-scoped and start with aieo_:

• read scope — every GET endpoint.
• read+write scope — mutating endpoints (POST/PATCH/DELETE). A read-only key gets 403 on any write.

Organization management (billing, keys, members) is session-only — API keys cannot touch it.

REST APICopy Anchor Link

Base URL: https://app.aieo.ee/api (self-hosted: your API origin). Authenticate with Authorization: Bearer aieo_....

The full route inventory is generated from the running app and lives at API Route Inventory. Hand-written request/response examples for the core workflows are below.

Core workflow examplesCopy Anchor Link

All calls: Authorization: Bearer aieo_..., base https://app.aieo.ee/api. API keys act on their own organization — the x-org-id header is a session-auth feature (dashboard users with multiple memberships) and does not switch an API key's org. Mutating calls need a read+write key.

List projectsCopy Anchor Link

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer aieo_YOUR_KEY" \
  https://app.aieo.ee/api/projects

[
  { "id": "e312a3b6-...", "name": "acmecloud.io", "domain": "acmecloud.io" }
]

Add a tracked keywordCopy Anchor Link

One keyword per call (keyword, 2–120 chars):

curl -X POST -H "Authorization: Bearer aieo_YOUR_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"keyword":"acmecloud vs hetzner"}' \
  https://app.aieo.ee/api/projects/PROJECT_ID/seo/keywords

Run all GEO prompts nowCopy Anchor Link

curl -X POST -H "Authorization: Bearer aieo_YOUR_KEY" \
  https://app.aieo.ee/api/projects/PROJECT_ID/geo/run-all

Charges 1 credit per prompt × engine; same-day re-runs replace the day's result. Errors carry machine-readable codes: exceeding the daily plan quota returns 402 with code: "plan_limit"; insufficient credits return 402 with code: "insufficient_credits"; sending requests too fast returns 429 (rate limit) — a different thing from quota.

Fetch AI visibility summaryCopy Anchor Link

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer aieo_YOUR_KEY" \
  "https://app.aieo.ee/api/projects/PROJECT_ID/geo/summary?days=14"

{ "runs": 80, "mentions": 44, "mentionRate": 55, "citationRate": 12,
  "prompts": 6, "sov": [{ "name": "Hetzner", "mentions": 30 }] }

Generate a white-label reportCopy Anchor Link

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer aieo_YOUR_KEY" \
  https://app.aieo.ee/api/projects/PROJECT_ID/overview/report \
  -o report.html

ErrorsCopy Anchor Link

Errors are JSON with an error message and, where applicable, a machine code (insufficient_credits, plan_limit, project_paused); the dashboard maps these codes to localized copy. Watch the difference between truncation caps and pagination: the keywords and GEO-runs lists accept a limit (keywords default 100 / max 200, runs default 25 / max 100) that caps how many rows return — there is no offset, so those endpoints are single-response views; GSC rows are the one that truly paginates (limit + offset).

MCP serverCopy Anchor Link

AIEO.ee exposes your SEO + GEO data over the Model Context Protocol — streamable HTTP, POST-only:

POST https://app.aieo.ee/mcp
Authorization: Bearer aieo_...

Claude CodeCopy Anchor Link

claude mcp add --transport http aieo https://app.aieo.ee/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer aieo_YOUR_KEY"

CursorCopy Anchor Link

Add to .cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "aieo": {
      "url": "https://app.aieo.ee/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer aieo_YOUR_KEY" }
    }
  }
}

Codex CLICopy Anchor Link

Export the key first, then reference it by env-var name:

export AIEO_API_KEY=aieo_YOUR_KEY

Add to ~/.codex/config.toml:

[mcp_servers.aieo]
url = "https://app.aieo.ee/mcp"
bearer_token_env_var = "AIEO_API_KEY"

OpenCodeCopy Anchor Link

Export the key, then add a remote server to opencode.json (project root or ~/.config/opencode/):

export AIEO_API_KEY=aieo_YOUR_KEY

{
  "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
  "mcp": {
    "aieo": {
      "type": "remote",
      "url": "https://app.aieo.ee/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer {env:AIEO_API_KEY}" }
    }
  }
}

Then ask your agent things like "why did our AI visibility drop this week?" — it will call query_ai_visibility, analyze_citations and friends.

Skills + MCPCopy Anchor Link

MCP gives your agent the data and actions; a Skill gives it the playbook. Skills are authored on the client side (for Claude Code, Codex and OpenCode that is a SKILL.md file) and simply call the MCP tools above. A minimal weekly review:

---
name: weekly-geo-review
description: Weekly AI-visibility review for a project, using the AIEO.ee MCP tools.
---
1. Call query_ai_visibility (days: 14); note per-engine changes.
2. Call analyze_citations; list the domains cited instead of us.
3. Call find_content_gap; pick the single biggest gap.
4. Call generate_content_brief for it (needs a write-scope key).
5. Reply: what changed, why, what to publish this week.

Clients that cannot attach a custom MCP server can run the same playbook against the REST API with the same Bearer key.

Every tool, its real input schema and scope requirements are generated from the server's own definitions: MCP Tools Reference.

Rate limitsCopy Anchor Link

MCP requests are rate-limited per organization (60 requests/minute at the time of writing). Exceeding it returns 429 with a Retry-After header.
