For your agent
Documentation
AEOForged is a developer platform for Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) — a REST API, MCP integration, and AI-agent tooling to research, score, audit, monitor, and improve how content is cited by AI answer engines including Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, ChatGPT, and Bing Copilot.
Integrate AEOForged into your stack by calling the REST API from code, connecting AI agents such as Cursor and Claude Code via MCP, or using the platform UI. New clients can start via /for-agents (ask your agent) or /start (diagnostic funnel). The documentation is organised into 10 sections covering getting started, audit workflows, API reference, agent integration, prompting, workflows, monitoring, and release history.
