Local Falcon MCP Server
An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for the Local Falcon local SEO and AI Visibility platform
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 MCP tools, enabling integration with agentic AI systems and workflows.
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:
