ChatSEO MCP Server

Yes. ChatSEO wires Search Console straight into the chat: 40 tools behind OAuth 2.1 at api.chatseo.app/mcp, so an agent can audit a site and fix the todo list in one session.

What is the ChatSEO MCP server?

ChatSEO runs a hosted MCP server at https://api.chatseo.app/mcp, and it is one of the more complete implementations in the SEO category. It exposes 40 tools across sites, conversations, projects, todos, integrations, artifacts, organizations and Shopify, covering everything from connecting a Search Console property to attaching and editing documents.

Authentication is OAuth 2.1 with Protected Resource Metadata (RFC 9728) and automatic client bootstrap, with the issuer at https://api.chatseo.app/auth. In practice that means connecting is close to adding one URL and signing in once, rather than minting and pasting API keys. The server requires the Pro plan (€49/month) or higher.

The main entrypoint is send_message, described as the primary way to talk to ChatSEO for SEO audits, content briefs and site management. The server works with Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code (GitHub Copilot) and ChatGPT, so an agent can connect your Search Console, run an audit and act on the results in a single session.

How to connect ChatSEO MCP to Claude Desktop

Add this block to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows), then restart Claude Desktop. Cursor and Codex use a similar schema.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "chatseo": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["mcp-remote", "<YOUR_MCP_URL>"]
    }
  }
}
// HTTP-transport MCP. Get your <YOUR_MCP_URL> from the vendor dashboard.
// Server source: https://api.chatseo.app/mcp
// Claude Code (one-liner): claude mcp add chatseo <YOUR_MCP_URL> --transport http

Some MCP servers require an API key. Check the source page for setup: api.chatseo.app/mcp.

Does ChatSEO MCP cost extra?

Included with subscription

ChatSEO ships an official MCP server that uses your existing subscription credentials.

  • No separate MCP licence to buy. You pay for your ChatSEO plan, the MCP server queries that account.
  • Whether it's gated to a specific tier wasn't extracted automatically — verify the access requirements on the MCP page or pricing docs.

ChatSEO also publishes a REST API

ChatSEO publishes an API, but per-tier gating wasn't extracted automatically.

What you can do with ChatSEO from an AI agent

Three shapes of agent workflow. Pick the row that matches how you actually use Claude / Cursor / Codex day to day.

INDIE / SOLO

Skip the dashboard, ask Claude

  • "What keywords moved this week?" answered in seconds
  • Quick one-off questions without leaving the editor
  • Pipe ChatSEO data into your personal notes / docs without writing a script
Effort: 30 seconds — paste the config, restart Claude
AGENCY

Run client analysis at agent speed

  • Hand the MCP server to your team — every consultant can ask Claude about any client's ChatSEO account
  • Multi-account workflows without context-switching the ChatSEO UI
  • Reports you'd normally spend hours on, done before standup
Effort: An afternoon — set up auth per client
IN-HOUSE TEAM

Production agent workflows

  • Embed in your internal Codex / Cursor agents that triage ChatSEO data daily
  • Combine with other MCP servers in a multi-step agent chain
  • Constrain agents to read-only roles to keep production ChatSEO safe
Effort: Days — security review + role config

Limits and gotchas

  • Official MCP server — published by ChatSEO themselves, so it should track product changes.
  • Fallback: the REST API works for any flow the MCP server doesn't cover.
  • Rate limits: MCP calls count against your underlying ChatSEO API quota. Burst usage from a curious agent can drain a daily allowance fast.
8/10

Agent-readiness verdict

A genuinely strong, native MCP server: OAuth 2.1 with RFC 9728 bootstrap, 34 tools spanning sites, conversations, integrations and artifacts, and broad client support across Claude, Cursor, VS Code and ChatGPT. The one knock is that it requires the €49 Pro plan. A solid 7 out of 10.
