Seo

Open-source SEO analysis toolkit for AI agents.

MCP-SEO gives any LLM agent — or human — a complete suite of SEO auditing tools, accessible both as a CLI and as a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server. Point it at a URL and get structured, Markdown-formatted reports on meta tags, headings, links, images, performance, mobile-friendliness, structured data, and more.

Features

• 21 CLI commands covering on-page SEO, technical SEO, performance, accessibility, and content analysis
• 18 MCP tools exposing the same capabilities to any MCP-compatible client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, OpenCode, ...)
• Headless browser rendering via Playwright/Chromium for JavaScript-heavy pages
• Lighthouse-style scoring (0-100) with per-category breakdowns
• Multi-page site crawler with duplicate detection and robots.txt respect
• Structured output — every analyzer returns Pydantic models (JSON) and Markdown reports
• Configurable — all timeouts and thresholds overridable via MCP_SEO_* env vars
• pip-installable — pip install mcp-seo and you're ready to go

Available MCP Tools

For LLM Agents

MCP-SEO is designed to be used autonomously by AI agents. All tools produce structured Markdown output that is easy to parse, quote, and reason about.

See AGENTS.md for recommended workflows: quick audits, comprehensive audits, competitive analysis, and technical audits.

Claude Code Skill

MCP-SEO is available as a Claude Code skill:

npx @anthropic-ai/claude-code skills add g-battaglia/mcp-seo

This installs the mcp-seo skill, giving Claude Code direct access to all 18 SEO analysis tools with recommended audit workflows. The skill auto-triggers on SEO-related prompts and guides the agent to use the right tools for each analysis.
