SearchAtlas MCP Server
npm · MCP Registry · GitHub
Connect any MCP-compatible AI client to the SearchAtlas AI Agent platform — 10 specialized SEO & marketing agents, project management, playbook automation, and more.
Works with Claude Code, Cursor, Claude Desktop, VS Code, Windsurf, and Zed.
Setup (3 steps)
1. Install & log in
With npm:
npm install -g searchatlas-mcp-server
searchatlas loginWith yarn:
yarn global add searchatlas-mcp-server
searchatlas loginWith pnpm:
pnpm add -g searchatlas-mcp-server
searchatlas loginWithout installing (npx):
npx searchatlas-mcp-server loginThis opens your browser. After logging in:
Press F12 (or Cmd+Option+I on Mac) to open DevTools
Go to Console tab
Run:
localStorage.getItem("token")Copy the result and paste it into the terminal
The CLI validates your token, saves it, and prints ready-to-paste configs with your paths auto-detected.
2. Add to your MCP client
Claude Code
macOS / Linux:
claude mcp add searchatlas -e SEARCHATLAS_TOKEN=your-token -- npx -y searchatlas-mcp-serverWindows (PowerShell):
claude mcp add searchatlas -e SEARCHATLAS_TOKEN=your-token -- npx.cmd -y searchatlas-mcp-serverWindows note: You must use
npx.cmdinstead ofnpx. This is because Claude Code spawns processes directly and Windows requires the.cmdextension.
Done. That's it.
Cursor
Create .cursor/mcp.json in your project root (or ~/.cursor/mcp.json for global):
{
"mcpServers": {
"searchatlas": {
"command": "/opt/homebrew/bin/node",
"args": ["/opt/homebrew/lib/node_modules/searchatlas-mcp-server/dist/index.js"],
"env": {
"SEARCHATLAS_TOKEN": "your-token"
}
}
}
}Your paths may differ. Run
which nodeandnpm root -gto find them, or just copy the config thatsearchatlas loginprinted — it has your exact paths.
Claude Desktop
Add to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows):
{
"mcpServers": {
"searchatlas": {
"command": "/opt/homebrew/bin/node",
"args": ["/opt/homebrew/lib/node_modules/searchatlas-mcp-server/dist/index.js"],
"env": {
"SEARCHATLAS_TOKEN": "your-token"
}
}
}
}Restart Claude Desktop after saving.
Add to ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"searchatlas": {
"command": "/opt/homebrew/bin/node",
"args": ["/opt/homebrew/lib/node_modules/searchatlas-mcp-server/dist/index.js"],
"env": {
"SEARCHATLAS_TOKEN": "your-token"
}
}
}
}Add to .vscode/mcp.json in your project:
{
"servers": {
"searchatlas": {
"command": "/opt/homebrew/bin/node",
"args": ["/opt/homebrew/lib/node_modules/searchatlas-mcp-server/dist/index.js"],
"env": {
"SEARCHATLAS_TOKEN": "your-token"
}
}
}
}Add to Zed settings.json:
{
"context_servers": {
"searchatlas": {
"command": {
"path": "/opt/homebrew/bin/node",
"args": ["/opt/homebrew/lib/node_modules/searchatlas-mcp-server/dist/index.js"],
"env": {
"SEARCHATLAS_TOKEN": "your-token"
}
}
}
}
}3. Verify
searchatlas check SearchAtlas MCP Server — Health Check
✓ Credential source: ~/.searchatlasrc
✓ Config loaded successfully
✓ JWT structure valid (expires in 12 days) — user 42
✓ API reachable and authenticated
All checks passed — you're ready to go!Why full paths?
macOS GUI apps (Cursor, Claude Desktop, VS Code, Windsurf, Zed) don't inherit your shell's PATH, so they can't find node or npx. Using the full path to node and pointing it directly at the installed package avoids spawn npx ENOENT and env: node: No such file errors entirely.
searchatlas login detects your paths automatically and prints configs you can copy-paste.
