The best SEO MCP server for Cursor

Cursor's agent is good at writing and bad at knowing what to write about, because it has no data. Give it live keyword, traffic, backlink and AI-visibility tools and that changes.

Live now: the MCP server, the free AI visibility audit and the keyword tools. Cursor reads two configs: ~/.cursor/mcp.json applies everywhere, and a .cursor/mcp.json in the repo applies to that project only. Leave out the header and Cursor signs you in through the browser, so the file holds no secret.

Setup

Add the SEO MCP server to Cursor

Cursor reads two configs: ~/.cursor/mcp.json applies everywhere, and a .cursor/mcp.json in the repo applies to that project only. Leave out the header and Cursor signs you in through the browser, so the file holds no secret.

Fastest: let Cursor do it

Paste this in and it reads our skill, then writes its own config in the format Cursor expects.

Read https://omnifamous.com/mcp/skill.md and set up the OMNIFAMOUS SEO MCP server for this project, then use it to audit my site's search and AI visibility.

Sign in (recommended)

  1. Open Cursor Settings, then MCP & Integrations, then New MCP server
  2. Paste the configuration below and save
  3. Click Connect next to omnifamous
  4. Sign in to OMNIFAMOUS in the browser, pick a workspace and choose Editor or Viewer access

~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "omnifamous": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.omnifamous.com"
    }
  }
}

With an API key

  1. Use this instead when no browser is available
  2. Paste the configuration below and reload the window

~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "omnifamous": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.omnifamous.com",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer sk_your_workspace_key"
      }
    }
  }
}

Either block also works in .cursor/mcp.json in a repo, scoped to that project. The sign-in version holds no secret, so it can be committed.

Every surface of the engine, as tools your agent can call mid-conversation.

MCP server

How it works

From Cursor to ranking content

Four steps. You stay the editor, the engine handles the rest.

1

Add the server to Cursor. One JSON block with the server URL in ~/.cursor/mcp.json, then sign in.

2

Ask in plain language. The agent picks the tools, so you never call one by hand.

3

Review the research. Every number comes from a live data provider, not from the model.

4

Decide what to ship. You stay the editor while the tools supply the numbers.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Everything you need to know about how the engine does the work for you.

Yes. One JSON block with the server URL in ~/.cursor/mcp.json, then sign in. Once it is connected, Cursor can research keywords, estimate traffic, check backlinks, compare keyword gaps against a competitor, inspect pages, and check whether ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity mention your brand.

Cursor reads two configs: ~/.cursor/mcp.json applies everywhere, and a .cursor/mcp.json in the repo applies to that project only. Leave out the header and Cursor signs you in through the browser, so the file holds no secret. The exact config block for Cursor is on this page, ready to copy.

Project config (.cursor/mcp.json) is scoped to one repo, which is what you want when you run SEO for several clients. The home directory config (~/.cursor/mcp.json) applies to every window.

Because it will make the numbers up. Language models routinely invent search volumes, difficulty scores and competitor rankings that look plausible and are wrong. Every number our tools return comes from a live data provider or your own workspace.

Page inspection and robots/sitemap checks are free without a key, broken-link checks are free with a key, and reads of your saved AI-visibility data cost no credits (they need the AI Visibility plan). Tools that buy live market data spend workspace credits at a published per-call price, charged only on a successful answer. There is no signup credit grant.

Two ways. On demand, ai_visibility_run_scan asks ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity three questions about your domain and reports whether your brand appears. For tracking, the AI Visibility plan scans your own prompts on a schedule, and the workspace read tools return those saved answers, cited domains and trends to your agent.
