Cascade-driven SEO reporting

`create_report` provisions a highly-available parsing boundary to run SERP execution hooks directly inside your editor. Give Cascade a topic, and it runs this tool to spin up a new Clearscope landing zone, then grabs the parameters using `get_report_details` to build your writing plan. Cascade pulls down the actual search engine results page data with `list_competitors` to see who you are up against. You don't have to manually search Google or copy URLs into a spreadsheet.

Automated content grading in Windsurf

`grade_content` retrieves the exact structural matching to verify your text against mapped NLP bounds. Cascade calls this tool to instantly score your markdown files against the target NLP terms. It pulls the exact term frequencies using `list_terms` and extracts the content hierarchy with `get_outline`. This MCP tool gives you immediate feedback on what's missing before you even commit the code.

Keyword research on autopilot

`get_keyword_research` identifies explicit cloud calculations tracking theoretical Google traffic limits. The editor uses this tool to find search volumes directly in your editing pane. It maps out your content strategy by pulling the structural brief via `get_brief`. You get a clean list of requirements to guide Cascade's writing process.
