What is a Claude SEO Checker?

A Claude SEO checker is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that adds SEO validation capabilities to Claude Code and Cursor. Unlike AI rank trackers that check if your site appears in Claude's AI responses, Rampify analyzes your website's technical SEO, validates meta tags, detects issues, and provides actionable fix recommendations—all from your terminal or IDE.

Not an AI rank tracker. This is a developer tool that brings SEO intelligence into your coding workflow.

Installation

Prerequisites

• Node.js 18 or higher

• Rampify account (free to start)

Install via npm

npm install -g @rampify/mcp-server

The global installation makes the rampify-mcp command available system-wide.

Usage

Get Your API Key

Before configuring the MCP server, get your API key:

1. Sign up for Rampify (free to start)

2. Go to your Rampify dashboard

3. Navigate to Settings → API Keys

4. Click "Generate New Key"

5. Copy the key (starts with sk_live_...)

6. Use it in the configuration below

Quick Setup for a Project (Claude CLI)

Recommended: Configure MCP server per-project so each project knows its domain:

cd /path/to/your/project
claude mcp add -s local -t stdio \
  --env BACKEND_API_URL=https://www.rampify.dev \
  --env API_KEY=sk_live_your_api_key_here \
  --env SEO_CLIENT_DOMAIN=your-domain.com \
  rampify -- npx -y @rampify/mcp-server

# Reload your IDE window

Now you can use MCP tools without specifying domain:

• get_page_seo - Automatically uses your project's domain

• get_issues - Automatically uses your project's domain

• crawl_site - Automatically uses your project's domain

Global Setup (Claude CLI)

For global access across all projects (must specify domain in each request):

claude mcp add --scope user rampify npx \
  -y @rampify/mcp-server \
  --env BACKEND_API_URL=https://www.rampify.dev \
  --env API_KEY=sk_live_your_api_key_here

# Reload your IDE window

}

Configuration Options

Environment Variables

• BACKEND_API_URL (required): Rampify API endpoint - always use https://www.rampify.dev

• API_KEY (required): Your API key from Rampify dashboard (starts with sk_live_...)

How to Use Tools

Discovering Available Tools

Ask Claude directly:

"What SEO tools are available?"
"What can you do for SEO?"
"List all SEO intelligence tools"

Claude will show you all available tools with descriptions.

Natural Language vs Direct Calls

Recommended: Use natural language (Claude will pick the right tool)

"What SEO issues does my site have?" → Calls get_issues
"Check this page's SEO" → Calls get_page_seo
"Crawl my site" → Calls crawl_site

Alternative: Call tools directly (if you know the exact name)

get_issues({ domain: "example.com" })
get_page_seo({ domain: "example.com", url_path: "/blog/post" })
crawl_site({ domain: "example.com" })

Common Workflows

After Deployment:

1. "Crawl my site" (refresh data)
2. "Show me the issues" (review problems)
3. "Check this page's SEO" (verify specific pages)

Before Deployment:

1. "Check SEO of localhost:3000/new-page" (test locally)
2. Fix issues in editor
3. "Re-check SEO" (verify fixes)
4. Deploy when clean!

Regular Monitoring:

1. "What's my site's health score?"
2. "Show critical issues only"
3. Fix high-priority items
4. "Crawl my site" (refresh)

Content Planning:

1. "What should I write next?" (get GSC insights)
2. Review top performing pages and queries
3. Check query opportunities (CTR, rankings, gaps)
4. Create content targeting recommended topics

• When looking for low-hanging fruit (page 2 rankings)

• Before creating new content (avoid cannibalization)

Requirements:

• Google Search Console must be connected (connect in Rampify dashboard)

• Site must have some search traffic (impressions)

• GSC data synced (happens automatically weekly, or trigger manually)

Pro tips:

• Start with 28-day period for balanced view (not too recent, not too old)

• Use 7-day period to track recent changes

• Use 90-day period for seasonal trends

• Combine with generate_meta to optimize high-opportunity pages

• Run after GSC sync completes for latest data

4. crawl_site

Trigger a fresh site crawl and analysis. This is an active operation that fetches and analyzes all pages.

Parameters:

• domain (optional): Site domain (uses SEO_CLIENT_DOMAIN if not provided)

Examples:

Ask Claude: "Crawl my site after deploying changes"
# Uses SEO_CLIENT_DOMAIN from env var

Ask Claude: "Analyze example.com"
crawl_site({ domain: "example.com" })

What it does:

1. Discovers all URLs (via sitemap or navigation crawl)

2. Checks each URL (status, speed, SEO elements)

3. Detects issues (missing tags, errors, broken links)

4. Updates database with current state

5. Automatically clears cache so next get_issues or get_page_seo shows fresh data

Response includes:

Real-World Impact: Before vs. After

Without Profile Context (Generic):

Title: Project Management Software | Company
Description: Manage your projects efficiently with our powerful collaboration platform. Streamline workflows and boost productivity.

With Profile Context (Target audience: developers, Differentiators: "real-time collaboration, 50% faster"):

Title: Real-Time Dev Collaboration | 50% Faster | Company
Description: Built for developers: API-first project management with real-time sync. Ship 50% faster than competitors. Try free for 30 days →

Profile Warnings System:

If your profile is incomplete, you'll get helpful warnings:

{
  "profile_warnings": [
    // WARNING: Target audience not set - recommendations will be generic
    "Target audience not set - recommendations will be generic. Add this in your business profile for better results.",

    // WARNING: No target keywords set - can't optimize for ranking goals
    "No target keywords set - can't optimize for ranking goals. Add keywords in your business profile.",

    // TIP: Add your differentiators to make meta descriptions more compelling
    "Add your differentiators in the business profile to make meta descriptions more compelling.",

    // TIP: Set your brand voice to ensure consistent tone
    "Set your brand voice in the business profile to ensure consistent tone."
  ]
}

Or if no profile exists at all:

{
  "profile_warnings": [
    // No client profile found - recommendations will be generic
    "No client profile found. Fill out your profile at /clients/{id}/profile for personalized recommendations."
  ]
}

Example workflow:

1. User: "What SEO issues does my site have?"
   → get_issues shows "Title too short on /blog"

2. User: "Fix the title issue on /blog"
   → generate_meta analyzes /blog page
   → Fetches client profile for context
   → Shows warnings if profile incomplete
   → Claude generates optimized, personalized title
   → Returns Next.js code snippet to add to page

3. User copies code to app/blog/page.tsx
4. User: "Re-check SEO for /blog"
   → get_page_seo confirms title is now optimal

Setting Up Your Profile:

To get the most value from generate_meta:

1. Visit /clients/{your-client-id}/profile in the dashboard

2. Fill out key fields:

   • Target Audience (e.g., "developers and technical founders")

   • Target Keywords (e.g., "real-time collaboration, dev tools")

   • Brand Voice (e.g., "technical but approachable")

   • Your Differentiators (e.g., "50% faster than competitors")

   • Primary CTA (e.g., "try_free" or "request_demo")

3. Use the tool - Profile context is automatically applied

4. See better results - Meta tags now match your business context

SEO Best Practices (Built-in):

• Title length: 50-60 characters (includes brand name if space allows)

• Description length: 150-160 characters (compelling call-to-action)

• Keyword placement: Primary keywords near the start

• Uniqueness: Each page gets unique meta tags based on its content

• Accuracy: Meta tags reflect actual page content (no clickbait)

Framework-specific output:

Next.js (App Router):

export const metadata = {
  title: "Your Optimized Title | Brand",
  description: "Your compelling meta description...",
  openGraph: {
    title: "Your Optimized Title",
    description: "Your compelling meta description...",
    images: [{ url: "/path/to/image.jpg" }],
  },
};

HTML:

<title>Your Optimized Title | Brand</title>
<meta name="description" content="Your compelling meta description...">
<meta property="og:title" content="Your Optimized Title">
<meta property="og:description" content="Your compelling meta description...">

Pro tips:

• Run after fixing content to ensure meta tags match

• Test social sharing with Facebook Sharing Debugger

• Monitor CTR improvements in Google Search Console

• Update meta tags when page content significantly changes

Caching

The MCP server caches responses for 1 hour (configurable via CACHE_TTL) to improve performance.

Cache is cleared automatically when:

• Entries expire (TTL reached)

• Server restarts

• You manually clear (not yet implemented)

Troubleshooting

"No client found for domain"

Solution: Add the site to your dashboard first at http://localhost:3000

"Backend API connection failed"

Checklist:

1. Is the backend running? (npm run dev in root directory)

2. Is BACKEND_API_URL correct in .env?

3. Check logs with LOG_LEVEL=debug

"MCP server not appearing in Cursor"

Checklist:

1. Did you build the server? (npm run build)

2. Is the path absolute in Cursor config?

3. Restart Cursor after changing config

4. Check Cursor logs (Help → Toggle Developer Tools → Console)

Empty or missing data

Common causes:

• Site not analyzed yet (run analysis in dashboard first)

• GSC not connected (connect in dashboard settings)

• No URLs in database (trigger site analysis)

"Could not connect to local dev server"

Solution:

1. Make sure your dev server is running (npm run dev)

2. Verify the port (default is 3000, but yours might be different)

3. Use full domain with port: localhost:3000 (not just localhost)

4. Check dev server logs for CORS or other errors

Example error:

Could not connect to local dev server at http://localhost:3000/blog/post.
Make sure your dev server is running (e.g., npm run dev).

Local vs Production Confusion

How to tell which source you're using:

Every response includes explicit source and fetched_from fields:

{
  // Source: local_dev_server, production_database, or direct_content
  "source": "local_dev_server",

  // Exact URL that was fetched and analyzed
  "fetched_from": "http://localhost:3000/page",
  // ... rest of response
}

Pro tip: Set SEO_CLIENT_DOMAIN per project to avoid specifying domain every time:

• For local dev: SEO_CLIENT_DOMAIN=localhost:3000

• For production: SEO_CLIENT_DOMAIN=yoursite.com
