Recommended MCP Servers
Journey fit
Link and index diagnostics support launch when you need discoverability and clean link equity, not core app coding. SEO subphase matches backlink health, redirect chains, and index status—the typical post-build visibility work solo founders do themselves.
How it compares
SEO backlink MCP toolkit, not infrastructure monitoring or lawyer-directory search.
