Octoboost

OctoBoost SEO MCP Server

Expose the OctoBoost SEO API as Model Context Protocol (MCP) tools so agents can audit websites with compact, structured results instead of fetching and parsing raw HTML.

Get your free API key at octo-boost.com. New accounts include free credits to try every tool.

What This Server Does

octoboost-mcp-server gives an MCP client three core capabilities:

• discover available analyzers with list_analyzers
• crawl a domain for relevant URLs with scan_domain
• run full audits with analyze

It is built for agent workflows that need SEO and AI-visibility signals inside the reasoning loop without spending thousands of tokens on raw page content.

Who It's For

This server is a good fit for:

• developers building MCP-enabled products, assistants, or internal automation
• teams using MCP clients such as Cursor or Claude Desktop and wanting SEO tooling via config only
• AI agent workflows that need token-efficient site audits, progress updates, and structured outputs they can reason over

It is less useful if you want a general SEO learning guide or a raw HTML scraping tool. The main value here is compact audit output for automated workflows.

Why Use This Instead Of Raw Scraping?

Running SEO checks directly in an LLM context is expensive. OctoBoost moves the heavy lifting to the API and returns only the signals an agent needs to decide what to do next.

• Token-efficient: structured results instead of raw HTML
• LLM-friendly: scores, flags, and diagnostics instead of prose parsing
• Credit-aware: responses include credits used and credits remaining
• Predictable errors: 401 for invalid or expired keys, 402 for exhausted credits

Quick Start

1. Get an API key from octo-boost.com.
2. Add the server to your MCP client config.
3. Call list_analyzers to verify the connection.

Core Workflow

Most agent flows follow this pattern:

1. list_analyzers
   -> learn categories and available checks

2. scan_domain { domain: "acme.com" }
   -> collect relevant URLs for the audit

3. analyze { urls: [...] }
   -> run a full audit with SEO score + GEO/AEO score for each URL

Tools Overview

list_analyzers

Returns available analyzer keys, categories, and weights. Call this first so an agent knows what it can run.

• no input required
• current categories include seo, accessibility, ux, performance, and geo
• weights returned reflect your personal setup (see Analysis Setup below)

scan_domain

Crawls a domain and returns SEO-relevant URLs.

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
domain	string	—	Domain or URL to scan
maxPages	number	server default	Maximum pages to crawl (capped server-side at the batch analysis limit)
excludePatterns	string[]	[]	URL patterns to skip
respectRobotsTxt	boolean	true	Honor robots.txt
defaultLanguageOnly	boolean	true	Skip alternate-language duplicates

analyze

Runs a full audit for one or more URLs. All 30+ analyzers run on each URL, returning an overall SEO score, per-category scores, and a GEO/AEO score for AI search visibility. URLs are processed sequentially and emit progress notifications after each one.

Parameter	Type	Description
urls	string[]	URLs to analyze

Cost: 3 credits per URL.

Analysis Setup

From your dashboard at octo-boost.com/dashboard, you can configure how much each analyzer contributes to the overall score. Set a weight between 0 and 5 for any of the 30+ analyzers.

• Weight 0 — the analyzer still runs but is excluded from the overall score calculation
• Weight 1–5 — higher values give an analyzer more influence over the final score
• Changes apply immediately to all future API calls made with your key
• list_analyzers always returns your current weights, so agents can adapt their reasoning to your setup

Core Web Vitals (CrUX)

Full audits include real-user performance data (LCP, CLS, INP, FCP, TTFB) from the Chrome UX Report API at the p75 percentile — the speed 75% of actual Chrome users experienced or better. Google uses these as Search ranking signals.

If no data is returned, the result includes the exact reason (e.g. insufficient traffic, URL not in Google's dataset). This is common for low-traffic sites and does not affect the overall SEO score.

GEO/AEO Output

Full audits include a geoScore alongside the technical SEO score.

This score is meant for AI-search and agent workflows. It helps answer whether a page is easy for systems like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or Perplexity to understand, extract, retrieve, and cite.

Key fields include:

• geoScore
• technicalAccess
• contentStructure
• entityClarity
• authoritySignals
• citationLikelihood
• ragReadiness
• llmAssessment
• whyThisMattersForAgents

Project Status

Planned next:

• LLM-based prioritization and condensation for more compact output
• higher-level tools such as get_fix_plan, summarize_top_opportunities and compare_urls
• better site-level workflows built on top of crawl plus analysis
• dedicated interface and API documentation
