Connecting it<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Add the endpoint as a custom connector in the Claude app, as an MCP server in Claude Code, or as a developer mode connector in ChatGPT. There is no key to generate and paste around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The assistant sends you to SellSEO to sign in and approve the connection. That approval is what decides which workspace it can see, and you can revoke it whenever you like. Worth understanding, because it is the whole security model: the connector never holds a credential of its own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What you can actually do with it<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Ask for leads in a niche and a city, follow the scan while it runs, read the results, and generate a proposal, without leaving the conversation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The natural fit is the messy middle of prospecting. “Which of the businesses from the Austin scan are buying ads and have a verified contact” is a tedious question in a UI and a natural one in a chat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It spends real credits<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Scans started from an assistant cost the same as scans started from the app, because they are the same scans. Set a cap if you are letting an assistant run them unattended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What MCP changes about using AI for SEO<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Most AI assistance in this field is text generation. The assistant cannot see your workspace, so it writes plausible sentences about SEO and you paste data in and out to give it anything real to work with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Model Context Protocol is a standard for handing an assistant actual tools it can call. The practical difference is that asking for leads in a market runs a scan in your workspace instead of describing what a scan would involve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Where the conversational interface genuinely wins<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Not everywhere. For running a single scan, the form is faster than typing a sentence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It wins on the messy middle. Questions that combine several filters are tedious in any interface and natural in a conversation: which businesses from the Austin scan are buying ads, have a verified contact, and have not been pitched. Also on sequences of work, where following a scan, reading the results and drafting a proposal happens in one thread rather than across four screens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The permission model, briefly<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
There is no key to generate, copy or paste anywhere. You add the endpoint as a connector, the assistant sends you to SellSEO to sign in, and you approve the connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That approval decides which workspace the assistant can see, and you can revoke it at any time. The practical consequence is that a connector never holds a credential of its own, so revoking access is immediate and complete rather than a matter of rotating a secret you may have pasted somewhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It spends real credits, so set a cap<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Scans started from an assistant are the same scans and cost the same credits. An assistant working through a list can start more of them than you intended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Set a cap on scans you are not watching, and treat an unattended assistant with a scanning tool the way you would treat any other process with a budget attached.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Frequently asked questions<\/h2>\n\n\n\nWhat is an SEO MCP server?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
It is an endpoint that exposes SEO tooling to an AI assistant through the Model Context Protocol, so the assistant can run scans, read results and generate proposals directly rather than only writing about them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Which assistants can connect to it?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
It can be added as a custom connector in the Claude app, as an MCP server in Claude Code, or as a developer mode connector in ChatGPT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Do I need an API key?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
No. The assistant sends you to sign in and approve the connection, and that approval determines which workspace it can access. There is no key to generate or paste, and access can be revoked at any time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Do scans run from an assistant cost credits?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Yes, exactly the same as scans started in the app, because they are the same scans. Set a cap if an assistant is running them unattended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What is it actually good for?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Combined filter questions over data you already have, and multi step work such as following a scan and then drafting a proposal without moving between screens. For a single simple action the normal interface is usually quicker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
