Free Rust CLI SEO/GEO auditor, no subscription needed
Semrush and Ahrefs cost $130+/month for work that's mostly deterministic: crawling a site, checking meta tags, validating schema, checking what AI crawlers can see. jev-seo does that in a free Rust CLI. No subscription, no paid API keys needed for the core checks (crawl, audit, schema, robots, sitemap). Optional Jev-powered semantic scoring (intent classification, GEO/AI-citation scoring) needs a free API key. Also ships as an MCP server for coding agents. cargo install jev-seo
Hey PH 👋 Built jev-seo because I got tired of the idea that checking your own site's SEO health needs a $130/month subscription.
Crawl your site, audit your docs, validate schema and sitemaps, check what AI crawlers (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, etc) can see, all free, all local, no API key required for any of it. There's an optional layer that uses TypeSafe's Jev model for semantic scoring (search intent, AI-citation likelihood), that part needs a free key, everything else doesn't.
It's also an MCP server, so if you're using Claude Code or another agent, it can call the same tools directly.
Solo project, built out of Patna, India. Would love feedback, especially from anyone doing SEO work who can tell me what's missing.
