Local SEO and AI Visibility Monitoring MCP Server

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for the Local Falcon platform, implemented in TypeScript, using the official MCP SDK. This server exposes Local Falcon scanning, tracking and reporting capabilities as 37 MCP tools, enabling integration with agentic AI systems and workflows.

Features

37 MCP tools for scanning, reporting, campaign management, competitor analysis, reviews, and Falcon Guard monitoring
Interactive MCP Apps widget — geo-grid heatmap with Google Maps, colored rank pins, and clickable detail panels
OAuth 2.1 with PKCE, refresh token support, and dynamic client registration
Tool annotations on all 37 tools — readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, and openWorldHint for safe auto-execution
Multi-platform — Google Maps, Apple Maps, ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok, Google AI Overviews, AI Mode
ChatGPT MCP connector compatible — OAuth scope alignment, widget sandbox domain, structured content parsing
HTML sanitizer for AI scrape content displayed in the heatmap widget

Prerequisites

Node.js (install the LTS version)

Authentication

OAuth (Recommended)

OAuth is the recommended way to connect to the Local Falcon MCP server. It provides a secure, token-based authentication flow — no API key management required. You'll be redirected to Local Falcon to authorize access, and tokens are handled automatically.

Set the URL to https://mcp.localfalcon.com/mcp
Set Authentication to OAuth
Leave Client ID and Client Secret empty — the server handles client registration automatically
Connect and authorize when redirected to Local Falcon

Bearer Token

If your MCP client does not support OAuth, you can use your Local Falcon API key as a Bearer token.

Set the URL to https://mcp.localfalcon.com/mcp
Set Authentication to Bearer Token
Enter your Local Falcon API key as the token value

API Key via Query String

If your MCP client does not support OAuth or Bearer Token authentication, you can pass your API key directly in the URL:

https://mcp.localfalcon.com/mcp?local_falcon_api_key=INSERT_YOUR_API_KEY_HERE

Running via Remote (HTTP)

For MCP clients that use mcp-remote (all platforms):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "local-falcon-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://mcp.localfalcon.com/mcp?local_falcon_api_key=INSERT_YOUR_API_KEY_HERE"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Running via Remote (SSE — Legacy)

The /sse endpoint is considered legacy and will be removed in a future version. Use the /mcp endpoint instead.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "local-falcon-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://mcp.localfalcon.com/sse?local_falcon_api_key=INSERT_YOUR_API_KEY_HERE"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Running via STDIO

One-click install: Download the latest .mcpb bundle from Releases and open it in Claude Desktop. For manual installation, follow the steps below.

For local installations, first install the package:

mkdir lf-mcp
cd lf-mcp
npm i @local-falcon/mcp

For MacOS/Unix:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "local-falcon-mcp": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/Users/YOUR_USERNAME/lf-mcp/node_modules/@local-falcon/mcp/dist/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "LOCAL_FALCON_API_KEY": "INSERT_YOUR_API_KEY_HERE"
      }
    }
  }
}

For Windows:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "local-falcon-mcp": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["C:\\Users\\YOUR_USERNAME\\lf-mcp\\node_modules\\@local-falcon\\mcp\\dist\\index.js"],
      "env": {
        "LOCAL_FALCON_API_KEY": "INSERT_YOUR_API_KEY_HERE"
      }
    }
  }
}

MCP Apps

The server includes an interactive MCP Apps widget that renders inside supported AI clients (Claude, ChatGPT).

Geo-Grid Heatmap

When you call getLocalFalconReport, clients that support MCP Apps will display an interactive geo-grid heatmap widget featuring:

Metrics bar — keyword, business name, grid size, ARP, ATRP, SoLV, scan date
Google Maps — full interactive map with colored rank pins (green = rank 1, red = rank 9+)
Detail panel — click any pin to see the full business listing at that grid point with ratings, reviews, categories, and AI scrape content
HTML sanitizer — AI scrape content is sanitized with an allowlist of safe tags, attributes, and image domains before rendering

The widget is built as a single-file HTML application using Vite and served as an MCP App resource.

Tools (37)

All 37 tools include MCP tool annotations that signal to AI clients whether a tool is safe to auto-execute:

| Annotation | Tools | Behavior | |---|---|---| | readOnlyHint: true | 26 tools | Read-only data retrieval — safe to auto-execute | | destructiveHint: true | 3 tools | Consumes credits or permanently removes resources — always confirm with user | | readOnlyHint: false, destructiveHint: false | 8 tools | Modifies state but reversible and free — confirm recommended | | openWorldHint: false | All 37 tools | Tools operate within the Local Falcon platform only |
