## GeoRanker Web Scraping MCP Beta

GeoRanker Web Scraping MCP is a Beta connector for AI agents, researchers and developers to retrieve supported public pages as text or HTML, including supported JavaScript-rendered and Cloudflare-protected sources.

For researchers, developers & AI builders.

- **Read pages that load with JavaScript:** Bring content that appears after a page loads into your assistant. JavaScript rendering helps you research dynamic product pages, listings and other public sources.
- **Reach Cloudflare-protected public pages:** Cloudflare bypass for JavaScript scraping helps your assistant retrieve content from supported public websites, so you can keep your research moving.
- **Turn page content into useful answers:** Ask your assistant to summarize a source, organize product details or build a research brief from the available text or HTML. Keep the source link and available freshness information with your notes.
- **Compare what websites say:** Bring in selected pages so your assistant can compare messaging, product information or documentation across the sources you choose.

Read one supported public page per request as text or HTML, capped at 50,000 characters with truncation disclosed. JavaScript rendering and Cloudflare handling depend on the source; rendering or access to every website is not guaranteed. Your assistant creates summaries and tables from the returned content. Signed-in pages, structured field extraction and site-wide crawling are outside this MCP’s scope.

### Tool catalog

- fetch_page
- get_fetch_result

### Try a question

Read the public product-page URL I provide, including content rendered with JavaScript. If it is protected by Cloudflare, use the supported bypass. Summarize the price, availability and key specifications, and include the source link. Flag any details you cannot retrieve.

## Recorded SEO MCP example

This fixed example returned 20 Google organic results for car insurance in Bucharest,Romania. Query language: en.

Provider generatedAt: 2026-09-18T07:21:14.858Z. cached: false. cachedAt: 2026-09-18T07:21:15.176Z. The request did not reuse a cached result. Individual page publication dates were not supplied. Rankings can change; the example date changes only when the recorded result is replaced.

The first five results, in the order returned:

1. [Compare Cheap Car Insurance Quotes | Save up to £485](https://www.comparethemarket.com/car-insurance/)
2. [Cheap Car Insurance Quotes](https://www.confused.com/compare-car-insurance)

4. [Compare & apply for Dutch car insurance | September 2026](https://www.independer.nl/autoverzekering/info/car-insurance)
5. [Car Insurance in Romania | Hellas Direct](https://www.hellasdirect.ro/en/car-insurance)

[Track my website prompt builder](https://www.georanker.com/mcp/seo#track-my-website): enter your own domain, keywords and market to create a copyable, one-time Google desktop top-20 rank-report prompt. The browser-local builder does not submit a report or schedule recurring tracking.

## Sources and freshness

Matching completed results can be reused for seven days by default, subject to service configuration. Ask for forceLive: true to bypass completed MCP cache reuse; matching pending work is still retrieved with its existing ID. Provider generation time and cache storage time are different.

## Agent-builder questions

### Which MCP retrieves localized Google search results?

GeoRanker SEO & SERP MCP provides search_serps for a query, region and search engine. For example, query car insurance with region Bucharest,Romania, searchEngine google and pages 2 requests up to 20 organic results. Requested depth is capped at 100 organic results; returned coverage can be lower. Results include available ranking positions and source URLs. Multi-keyword domain checks use create_rank_tracking_report instead.

### Can an agent read JavaScript-rendered or protected public pages?

Web Scraping MCP retrieves one supported public page per fetch_page request, including supported JavaScript-rendered and Cloudflare-protected sources. It returns readable text or HTML, capped at 50,000 characters with truncation disclosed. Source access and rendering are not guaranteed. The assistant interprets the content; the MCP does not provide structured field extraction, authenticated browsing or batch site crawling.

### How do AI agents connect to GeoRanker MCP?

The documented integration is a local stdio MCP client launched by your assistant. That client connects over HTTPS to GeoRanker's hosted service. Use a host that can launch local Node.js processes and follow its configuration guide. A cloud-only connector needs a separately supported remote authentication flow; entering a hosted endpoint URL alone is not the documented installation path.

[Reviewed first-party documentation](https://github.com/georanker/georanker-seo-mcp/blob/432ec1688fd507cb955067bd022876b93047169f/docs/install.md)

### What does no API key to configure mean?

The client enrolls automatically and stores an installation credential and signing identity locally. You do not enter a reusable provider API key or create a GeoRanker account for the Beta trial. The two clients share installation state for the same service origin. This enrollment is not OAuth. The setup check verifies enrollment and tool contracts without submitting a data query; subsequent tool calls use the configured allowance.

[Reviewed first-party documentation](https://github.com/georanker/georanker-seo-mcp/blob/432ec1688fd507cb955067bd022876b93047169f/docs/privacy.md)

### How do I request fresh data instead of a cached answer?

Pass forceLive: true to bypass eligible completed MCP cache reuse, which defaults to seven days and is configurable. Matching pending or uncertain work keeps its existing ID. This does not bypass the upstream provider's processing rules or create a background refresh schedule. Preserve cached, cachedAt and generatedAt when supplied; cache storage time is not observation time.

[Reviewed first-party documentation](https://github.com/georanker/georanker-seo-mcp/blob/432ec1688fd507cb955067bd022876b93047169f/docs/examples.md)

### How should an agent handle pending results and parallel requests?

Independent tasks may run in parallel within shared and per-installation service limits. For pending SERPs, retain jobId and call get_serp_result; for pending web pages, call get_fetch_result with the same jobId. SEO report families use their own reportId and matching get tool. Retrieval does not create a new data job. Follow returned nextAction and retry information, preserve pending, unknown and failed states, and avoid duplicate creation. Cancelling or timing out a call does not prove that submitted work stopped.

[Reviewed first-party documentation](https://github.com/georanker/georanker-seo-mcp/blob/432ec1688fd507cb955067bd022876b93047169f/README.md)

### How much allowance does a rank report or site check consume?

Report admission units depend on the requested work: keywords × locations × engines for rank checks, selected devices for on-page reports, ceil(maxPages / 100) for broken-link checks (one unit for up to 100 requested pages), one unit for a backlink report, and keyword count for volumes. These are admission weights, not provider credit prices. A schema-valid request can exceed the configured allowance. A create call can count even when it reuses completed data; retrieval has separate limits. Setup and tool discovery do not submit reports. Respect returned limits and retry instructions. For example, three keywords in two locations on one engine require six rank-report admission units. A broken-link request for 20 or 100 pages requires one unit; 1,000 requested pages require ten. None of these values establishes a monetary price or a fixed free quota.

### Can I limit a broken-link crawl to a path?

No. The current SEO report contract supports site scope or a single-page check. Path scope is rejected before submission. Site crawls accept depth 1–10 and up to 1,000 requested pages, subject to allowance and provider capacity; defaults are depth 2 and 20 pages. External-link checking is disabled. Report the actual returned internal checks and completion state, rather than claiming complete site coverage.

[Reviewed first-party documentation](https://github.com/georanker/georanker-seo-mcp/blob/432ec1688fd507cb955067bd022876b93047169f/docs/seo-reports.md)

### What should an agent do after a report error?

Retain the report ID and inspect returned validation diagnostics or nextAction. Correct a confirmed rejected input instead of recreating unresolved work. REMOTE_SCHEMA_MISMATCH requires compatible client and hosted contracts before new work. After SCHEDULE_UNCERTAIN, retrieve the same rank report to reconcile the schedule; do not repeat or reverse the change blindly. Unknown completion and HTTP success alone do not establish a completed report.

[Reviewed first-party documentation](https://github.com/georanker/georanker-seo-mcp/blob/432ec1688fd507cb955067bd022876b93047169f/docs/seo-reports.md)

### What data leaves my machine and what is stored locally?

The client sends requested search arguments or the public URL, an installation identifier, a revocable token and a persisted device signal to GeoRanker over HTTPS. GeoRanker uses its upstream infrastructure to process the request. Local identity and credentials normally live under ~/.config/georanker-search-mcp/client/; GEORANKER_STATE_DIR can change that location. Keep this state private. Shared result caching follows service isolation rules, so avoid secret URLs or sensitive content. Removing the host configuration does not revoke the installation or erase its saved credentials.

### How are MCP client versions and updates managed?

The public clients reviewed on 2026-09-18 are version 0.13.1; the website presents both products as Beta. The launcher checks for verified GitHub release packages at startup and every five minutes. It verifies release provenance and installs locked production dependencies without lifecycle scripts. Compatible worker updates apply during an idle period; calls are not replayed. Set GEORANKER_MCP_AUTO_UPDATE=0 in the host environment to review and manage releases yourself. Update downloads contact GitHub, npm and signature-verification services; the client privacy guide explains this data flow.

### Can I install GeoRanker MCP with npx?

The reviewed release uses a GitHub source installation: clone, install dependencies, build, run the setup check and configure your host. Its npm packages are unpublished, so an npx command is not available for this release. Requirements are Node.js 22.22.2+ on the 22 release line, 24.15.0+ on the 24 release line, or 26.0.0+; npm and Git. Public source availability does not imply an open-source license; the packages are marked UNLICENSED. Repository metadata is not an official MCP Registry submission.

### How can I get more free MCP credits during Beta?

GeoRanker MCP is in Beta. Request more free Beta credits through the website chat powered by Tidio, or use the contact page. Tell the team which MCP you use, what you are building and the workload you need. Our team reviews your request and confirms the allowance. The hosted service controls shared and per-installation allowances and concurrency, so follow returned limit and retry information. API calculator estimates do not define MCP Beta allowances or report admission units.

## Choosing your MCP

### Which MCP should I choose?

Choose SEO MCP for search research, rank tracking, on-page SEO, broken internal links, backlinks and keyword volumes. Choose Web Scraping MCP to read a public page you already have and use its content for summaries, comparisons and research. You can install both.

### Do I need to register before I start?

No GeoRanker signup or manually entered API key is required for the Beta trial. Setup automatically enrolls a local installation and stores its credentials. Data calls use the service's configured allowance.

### Can I use both MCPs in the same assistant?

Yes. Install SEO MCP and Web Scraping MCP as separate connections. Use one to discover relevant search results and the other to read selected public pages in more detail.

### How do I get more free Beta credits?

GeoRanker MCP is in Beta. Contact us through the website chat powered by Tidio or the contact page to request more free credits. Tell us which MCP you use and the workload you need. Our team reviews your request and confirms the allowance. Current service limits still apply.
