Run audits, query reports, and ask follow-up questions about the data — all from Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT, or any MCP-aware AI assistant. No SDK install, just a key and a config block.
Drop a domain into Claude and watch it scrape locations, propose keywords, ask you to confirm, charge credits, and ship a report — all from chat.
Ask 'where am I ranking worst?' or 'who's beating me on cosmetic dentistry?' Histograms by default, raw points only when you drill in.
Claude Desktop, Cursor, Claude Code, and any other MCP-aware client. One API key, one config block, no SDK install.
Paste this into your MCP host's config and you're connected. The example is for Claude Desktop's claude_desktop_config.json; every other host is one or two field-name swaps away.
