How to Set Up and Use Local Falcon
The Local Falcon MCP server connects AI assistants to the Local Falcon local SEO and AI visibility platform, exposing 37 tools that cover geo-grid scanning, campaign management, competitor analysis, review analytics, and Falcon Guard GBP monitoring. It supports multi-platform ranking data across Google Maps, Apple Maps, ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok, and Google AI Overviews, making it unique in tracking AI search visibility alongside traditional local SEO metrics. The server can be used via a hosted remote endpoint (OAuth 2.1 or API key) or installed locally via npm, and it renders an interactive geo-grid heatmap widget inside Claude and ChatGPT when scan reports are retrieved.
Prerequisites
- A Local Falcon account with an active subscription (localfalcon.com)
- A Local Falcon API key (obtainable from your Local Falcon account settings)
- Node.js 18 or higher (if running locally via stdio)
- An MCP client that supports HTTP/remote MCP or stdio transport (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, or ChatGPT MCP connector)
Get your Local Falcon API key
Log in to your Local Falcon account at localfalcon.com, go to your account settings, and copy your API key.
Choose your connection method
The easiest method is connecting to the hosted remote endpoint using mcp-remote with your API key in the URL. No local installation is needed for this approach.
# Option 1: Remote via mcp-remote (recommended, no install needed)
# Option 2: Local stdio install
mkdir lf-mcp && cd lf-mcp
npm install @local-falcon/mcpConfigure your MCP client for remote access
Add the remote Local Falcon MCP endpoint to your claude_desktop_config.json using mcp-remote and your API key in the query string.

"args": [

]
}
}
}Or configure for local stdio access
If you prefer local stdio mode after installing the npm package, configure with the node command pointing to the installed dist/index.js and the LOCAL_FALCON_API_KEY env var.

"env": {
"LOCAL_FALCON_API_KEY": "YOUR_API_KEY_HERE"
}
}
}
}Verify connection and list available tools
Restart your MCP client and ask it to list your Local Falcon scan reports. For clients supporting MCP Apps (Claude, ChatGPT), calling getLocalFalconReport will display an interactive geo-grid heatmap widget.

Authentication error or 401 when connecting via mcp-remote
Double-check that YOUR_API_KEY_HERE in the URL is replaced with your actual Local Falcon API key. Keys are available in your Local Falcon account settings. If using OAuth mode (without a key in the URL), ensure you complete the browser authorization flow when prompted.
mcp-remote not found or npx fails to launch
Ensure Node.js 18 or higher is installed. If npx is slow due to network issues, install mcp-remote globally first: 'npm install -g mcp-remote', then replace 'npx mcp-remote' with just 'mcp-remote' in the args array.
getLocalFalconReport tool shows data but no heatmap widget
The interactive geo-grid heatmap widget requires an MCP Apps-capable client (Claude Desktop, Claude.ai, or ChatGPT with MCP connector). Other clients like Cursor or Windsurf will still return the underlying data in text form but won't render the visual widget.
