The best SEO MCP server for Gemini CLI

Gemini CLI is fast and cheap to run in a loop, which makes it a good SEO worker once it has data. Connect omnifamous and it can research keywords, pull traffic and backlink data, and check whether Gemini and other engines mention your brand.

Live now: the MCP server, the free AI visibility audit and the keyword tools. Gemini CLI wants httpUrl rather than url in ~/.gemini/settings.json. Using url silently selects the deprecated SSE transport, which is the single most common reason a Gemini MCP setup looks connected and returns nothing.

Gemini CLI expects httpUrl for a streamable HTTP server. Use url only for the deprecated SSE transport.

How it works

From Gemini CLI to ranking content

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

1

Add the server to Gemini CLI. One block in ~/.gemini/settings.json using httpUrl, then /mcp auth to 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 block in ~/.gemini/settings.json using httpUrl, then /mcp auth to sign in. Once it is connected, Gemini CLI 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.

Gemini CLI wants httpUrl rather than url in ~/.gemini/settings.json. Using url silently selects the deprecated SSE transport, which is the single most common reason a Gemini MCP setup looks connected and returns nothing. The exact config block for Gemini CLI is on this page, ready to copy.

Almost always the url versus httpUrl mistake. Gemini CLI treats url as the deprecated SSE transport and httpUrl as streamable HTTP. Use httpUrl, as in the block on this page, then run /mcp list to confirm.

Yes. ai_visibility_run_scan covers ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity, and a prompt monitor (monitor_prompts_create) includes google_ai_overview in its default engines. monitor_prompts_run_now fires one run on demand, charged 300 credits per engine x region answer that lands (times the engine's multiplier on expensive model APIs).

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.
