Hosted or local, same tools
The hosted MCP at https://seoskill.dev/mcp needs nothing installed: add it to your agent and sign in with Google. The local MCP runs on your machine with the CLI. Run seo mcp install after setup to add it to your agents. Both serve the same tools, and the local one adds the site crawl, internal links and Bing Webmaster Tools data. In Claude Code, add the Claude SEO skill too, so Claude knows which tool answers which question.
The tools your agent gets
| Tool | What it returns |
|---|---|
seo_sites | The Search Console and Google Analytics properties your linked Google accounts can read. |
seo_report | The main Search Console report: an overview, then one section. |
seo_page | One URL: live page facts, Google index status and its queries. |
seo_compare | Before and after a date, with Google updates in the window. |
seo_index | Pages that lost their clicks, checked live and with URL Inspection. |
seo_research | Keyword and competitor data from your DataForSEO or Ahrefs key. |
seo_data | Raw Search Console rows, or Google Analytics landing pages. |
seo_crawl, seo_internal_links | The site crawl and internal links. Local MCP only. |
The Google Search Console MCP and Google Analytics MCP server pages show the questions these tools answer from each source.
What the hosted server keeps
Only your linked Google accounts and any API keys you save, encrypted, so it can fetch your own data when your agent asks. Your search data, reports and requests are never stored, except what the paid weekly audit keeps for its sites. You can add Google accounts, save keys or delete everything on your account page. What is stored has the details.
