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 stacklok/toolhive, 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 opening to clarify unique domain and differentiate from miscategorizations
Why:
CURRENTToolHive runs every MCP server in an isolated container, enforces identity and access policy per request, and gives platform teams the observability they need to put MCP in production.
COPY-PASTE FIXToolHive is the enterprise-grade platform for securely running and managing Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, distinct from general security tool orchestration or CI/CD runner solutions. It runs every MCP server in an isolated container, enforces identity and access policy per request, and gives platform teams the observability they need to put MCP in production.
- mediumreadme#2Add a concise explanation of Model Context Protocol (MCP) to the README
Why:
COPY-PASTE FIX## What is Model Context Protocol (MCP)? Model Context Protocol (MCP) is a standard for securely exchanging context between AI code assistants and external tools. ToolHive provides the essential platform to host, secure, and manage these critical MCP servers, ensuring enterprise-grade control over your AI interactions.
- lowtopics#3Expand repository topics with more specific AI infrastructure terms
Why:
