Recommended MCP Servers
Journey fit
Launch is when technical SEO, indexability, and crawl hygiene determine whether distribution efforts compound or stall. SEO subphase covers crawl exports, broken links, and on-page signals indie sites need before pushing traffic.
How it compares
MCP bridge to Screaming Frog CLI, not a hosted cloud crawler or generic web-search MCP.
