Common questions about Google Lighthouse SEO Auditor MCP in Claude Desktop

Open your configuration file and add the configuration under the mcpServers key. Once done, your agent will detect the MCP Server and load its tools.

You can run basic audits without one, but Google applies strict rate limits on anonymous traffic. For heavy production testing, grab a free API key from Google and add it to your environment variables to prevent throttling.

The `run_lighthouse_audit` tool inside this MCP Server isolates the specific failures dragging your score down, like oversized images or unused CSS. Your agent reads these precise diagnostic logs and writes the exact code modifications you need to apply.
