Manual SEO vs the MCP pass

Doing it by hand

Search a tweet, open the article, read to the end, guess the order.
Re-explain your stack to a general-purpose chatbot every session.
No record of what was applied, verified or skipped.
Advice drifts: no source, no check, no risk label.

With seo-mcp connected

The agent profiles the repo and gets only the tips that apply.
The plan is ordered foundation → quick wins → growth, with a check per step.
Progress, verification and evidence persist per project.
Every tip links to its source; risky moves are labelled and opt-in.

What your agent will do

One connection, then a normal conversation. This is the shape of a first session:

You: connect to seo-mcp.io and work on the SEO of this project

Agent → start_seo_session   { project_id: "riverstone-web" }
Agent → profile_project     { stack: ["nextjs"], site_type: "saas" }
Agent → audit_html          { files: ["app/layout.tsx", "app/page.tsx"] }
Agent → get_action_plan     { limit: 10 }

Plan
 1. Add canonical URLs with the Metadata API          high
 2. Ship app/sitemap.ts and app/robots.ts             high
 3. Add Organization JSON-LD in the root layout       high
 4. Unique title and description per route            medium

Agent edits the files, runs the checks, then:
Agent → verify_tip { tip: "canonical-metadata", evidence: "…" }
Agent → get_progress → 1/4 applied, 1 verified

What you can hold us to

Every published tip names its source and links to it. The extended briefs and prompts are written at ingestion time and reviewed; nothing is generated when your agent asks. That is why the same request returns the same plan on every client, and why a wrong tip is a bug we can fix for everyone.

Read the index first — the free half is the whole catalogue.

Questions buyers ask

What does the MCP server actually do?

It exposes the catalogue to your agent as tools: profile a repository, get a ranked plan, record what you applied, verify a fix, and fetch the next action. Answers are deterministic lookups over the curated tips; no AI runs at request time.

Why not free?

Reading the directory is free and stays free. The pass pays for the server: the profiling, the applicability rules, progress storage and the upkeep of the catalogue. It is a one-time payment because the work is done at ingestion, not on every request.

Is my repository data sent anywhere?

No file contents leave your machine. The agent sends the signals the tools ask for — framework, site type, detected issues, a project name — and receives tips. Media keys and API keys are never included in MCP output.

Do I need a separate account for Claude?

No. Claude connectors use OAuth: you sign in here, approve the connection, and the server issues a revocable API key. Cursor and other clients can paste a key directly.

What if a tip is wrong or outdated?

Use submit_feedback from your agent, or the “report an error” link on the tip. The message reaches the editor and the fix lands for every property using that tip.

Is this a subscription?

No. $19 once, lifetime access, no renewal and nothing to cancel. New tips and new tools are included.

Checkout is not enabled yet on this deployment; pre-orders join the list and the owner grants access manually. Questions: hello@seo-mcp.io.
