Action plan is what to do next — copy-pasteable changes prioritized by impact. Category visibility is the real GEO test: when a user asks an AI a brand-free question that should surface ferrislucas/iterm-mcp, does the AI actually recommend you — or your competitors? Objective checks verify the metadata signals AI engines weight first. Self-mention check detects whether AI even knows you exist by name.
Action plan — copy-paste fixes
3 prioritized changes generated by gemini-2.5-flash. Mark items done after you ship the fix.
- highreadme#1Reposition README H1 to clarify AI agent control of iTerm
Why:
CURRENT# iterm-mcp A Model Context Protocol server that provides access to your iTerm session.
COPY-PASTE FIX# iterm-mcp An AI agent tool that enables large language models (LLMs) to directly control and interact with your iTerm session via the Model Context Protocol (MCP).
- hightopics#2Add specific topics for AI terminal control and LLM tools
Why:
CURRENTai, claude, claude-ai, mcp, mcp-server, repl
COPY-PASTE FIXai, claude, claude-ai, mcp, mcp-server, repl, terminal-control, ai-agent, llm-tools, iterm
- mediumreadme#3Add a 'Problem Solved' section and ensure full tools list is visible
Why:
COPY-PASTE FIXAdd a dedicated 'Problem Solved' or 'What it Does' section early in the README, explicitly stating: 'ferrislucas/iterm-mcp solves the challenge of enabling AI agents to directly interact with and control an iTerm2 terminal session, allowing them to execute commands, read output, and manage REPLs as if a human were typing.' Also, ensure the full list of available tools (`write_to_terminal`, `read_terminal_output`, etc.) is clearly presented and described.
