Usage Examples

Once configured, the SEO tools appear automatically in your AI agent. Just ask:

Content Brief

Generate a content brief for "HVAC repair Brooklyn"

→ Calls get_content_brief → Returns POP brief with LSI terms, word count targets, heading structure.

Keyword Research

What's the search volume and CPC for "roofing contractor Tampa"?

→ Calls keyword_research → Returns monthly volume, CPC, competition score.

SERP Analysis

Show me the top 10 results for "dentist near me" in Rockville Centre

→ Calls serp_analysis → Returns top 10 results with domain authority, titles, descriptions.

Backlink Profile

Analyze the backlink profile of seodesignlab.com

→ Calls backlink_profile → Returns referring domains, link counts, domain rating.

On-Page Audit

Audit https://drbrattrvc.com/services/teeth-whitening/

→ Calls on_page_audit → Returns meta analysis, heading structure, image coverage, technical issues.

x402 Payment Flow

AI Agent (Claude, Cursor, etc.)
    │
    ▼
MCP Server (this package)
    │
    ▼  Adds X-Payment-* headers
Cloudflare Worker (x402 paywall)
    │
    ├── Payment valid? ──► YES ──► Proxy to SEO API ──► Return data
    │
    └── No payment? ──► 402 + x402 settlement instructions

When X402_PAY_TO is configured, the MCP server attaches payment headers to every request. The Cloudflare Worker validates the x402 payment and either:

1. Paid → Forwards the request to the SEO backend on Render, returns the result.

2. Unpaid → Returns a 402 Payment Required with the price, wallet address, and settlement instructions.

x402 Client Integration

For production use, pair this MCP server with an x402-compatible client that can automatically settle micropayments. The server is designed to be payment-agnostic — it works with or without an x402 client.
