Command-line SEO workflows

`get_keyword_research` identifies explicit calculations tracking theoretical Google traffic limits directly from your shell. This MCP Server lets you run this tool to grab search volume without leaving your terminal. You can pipe the output directly into other command-line tools. Use `list_reports` to check your current optimization queue and keep your publishing pipeline moving.

Automated pipeline grading with Claude Code

`grade_content` verifies your local markdown drafts against Clearscope's NLP targets during your build process. Claude Code uses this tool to grade your files automatically before they get merged. It pulls the required keyword targets using `list_terms` to verify that your technical docs meet search requirements. This MCP check blocks pull requests if the SEO score falls below your threshold.

Automated competitor analysis

`list_competitors` fetches the top-ranking URLs and active search engine results for any target keyword. Claude Code calls this tool to run fast competitor audits directly from your terminal. It then uses `get_report_details` to extract the active scoring boundaries. You get a raw, clean dataset ready for shell processing or automated reporting.
