"args": ["mcp-remote", "<YOUR_MCP_URL>"]
}
}
}

Does RobotSpeed MCP cost extra?
RobotSpeed ships an official MCP server that uses your existing subscription credentials.
- No separate MCP licence to buy. You pay for your RobotSpeed 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.
RobotSpeed also publishes a REST API
RobotSpeed publishes an API, but per-tier gating wasn't extracted automatically.
What you can do with RobotSpeed from an AI agent
Three shapes of agent workflow. Pick the row that matches how you actually use Claude / Cursor / Codex day to day.
Skip the dashboard, ask Claude
- "What keywords moved this week?" answered in seconds
- Quick one-off questions without leaving the editor
- Pipe RobotSpeed data into your personal notes / docs without writing a script
Run client analysis at agent speed
- Hand the MCP server to your team — every consultant can ask Claude about any client's RobotSpeed account
- Multi-account workflows without context-switching the RobotSpeed UI
- Reports you'd normally spend hours on, done before standup
Production agent workflows
- Embed in your internal Codex / Cursor agents that triage RobotSpeed data daily
- Combine with other MCP servers in a multi-step agent chain
- Constrain agents to read-only roles to keep production RobotSpeed safe
Limits and gotchas
- Official MCP server — published by RobotSpeed 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 RobotSpeed API quota. Burst usage from a curious agent can drain a daily allowance fast.
Agent-readiness verdict
A well-documented, working MCP server over streamable HTTP with 12 free SEO tools and 27 pro tools via OAuth, and setup docs for Claude Code, Cursor and Claude Desktop. That native agent access earns an 8 out of 10 and is the standout of RobotSpeed's agent story.
