Using SEO Gets MCP with Other AI Clients
SEO Gets MCP works with any AI client that supports the Model Context Protocol (MCP). While we've documented the setup for Claude Desktop, the same MCP server can connect to Gemini, Cursor, Windsurf, and other MCP-compatible tools.
What is MCP?
MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard that lets AI assistants connect to external data sources. Think of it like a universal adapter—once you have your SEO Gets MCP key, you can plug it into any MCP-compatible client.
Which AI clients work with SEO Gets MCP?
SEO Gets MCP is designed for Claude Desktop, which has full setup and troubleshooting documentation. Other MCP-compatible clients may also work:
Gemini CLI — Google's command-line tool for Gemini
Cursor — AI-powered code editor
Windsurf — AI development environment
Other MCP clients — any tool that implements the MCP protocol
New to MCP? If you're setting up SEO Gets MCP for the first time, start with Claude Desktop— it has the most detailed setup guide and troubleshooting help.
Your MCP endpoint
No matter which client you use, the connection details stay the same:
Endpoint:
https://app.seogets.com/mcpAuth: Bearer token using your MCP API key
Get your key: Settings → API & MCP Keys in SEO Gets
What MCP supports: GSC performance data, indexing status, and site-level queries. What it doesn't support: image search queries, Discover/News/Video breakdowns, or GA4 metrics. For those, use the SEO Gets dashboard directly.
Setting up with Claude Desktop
We have a complete guide for Claude Desktop with troubleshooting tips and configuration examples:
Setting up with other clients
For Gemini CLI, Cursor, Windsurf, or other MCP clients, you'll need to:
Create an MCP key in Settings → API & MCP Keys
Copy your key (you'll only see it once)
Add the MCP server to your client's configuration using the endpoint above
Restart your AI client to activate the connection
The exact configuration format varies by client. Check your client's MCP documentation for how to add a remote MCP server with bearer token authentication.
Questions you can ask
Once connected, any MCP client can query your SEO Gets data. For example prompts and capabilities, see our guide:
When querying your data, always specify the exact property name. For example: "What are the top pages for example.com last month?" instead of just "What are my top pages?"
Troubleshooting
If you're having trouble connecting, start with the Claude Desktop troubleshooting guide—most issues apply to any MCP client:
"Discovery" or "OAuth server" errors — usually mean the endpoint returned HTML instead of JSON, often due to network issues, firewalls, or an invalid key
Server not connecting — check that Node.js is installed and your config syntax is valid JSON
Key not working — verify your MCP key exists in Settings → API & MCP Keys; if unsure, create a new one
