You ask your AI copywriter: 'Is this blog post easy to read?' It says 'Yes, it is very engaging!' Then you run it through a real SEO tool and it scores at a university reading level — killing your mobile bounce rate.

LLMs cannot accurately count syllables or calculate sentence complexity. This MCP uses the text-readability library to execute standard linguistic formulas, providing mathematical proof of how difficult your text is to read.

The Superpowers

  • Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level: The industry standard. Returns a number corresponding to the US grade level (e.g., 8.2 = 8th grade).
  • Flesch Reading Ease: A 0-100 scale where higher is easier. Essential for broad audience copy.
  • Multiple Algorithms: Also calculates Gunning Fog, Coleman-Liau, SMOG, and Automated Readability Index (ARI).
  • Consensus Evaluation: Automatically aggregates all scores to give you a definitive target audience level.

Readability formulas (like Flesch-Kincaid) require exact mathematical counts of syllables per word and words per sentence. LLMs operate on sub-word tokens, not syllables, making them notoriously bad at these calculations. This engine uses deterministic linguistic math.
