Live SEO Audits in Cursor Agent Mode

The `get_site_audit` tool lets your Cursor agent pull technical SEO reports from Raven Tools directly into your active coding workspace. When you are writing code to fix a broken site, your Cursor agent can read the live crawl issues from Raven Tools and verify if your changes resolved them. You do not have to leave your Cursor editor to run external scans. By combining this Raven Tools MCP Server tool with `get_project`, your Cursor agent understands the exact structure of the site you are working on. It writes code that directly addresses crawl failures reported by Raven Tools, saving you hours of manual debugging in Cursor.

Programmatic Keyword Management

The `add_keyword` and `remove_keyword` tools let you modify your Raven Tools tracking lists directly from Cursor's chat interface. If you are building a custom SEO reporting script in Cursor, your agent can test these tools live and verify the API responses. It helps you write accurate integration code without guessing the Raven Tools payload structure. You can also pull complete lists from Raven Tools using `list_keywords` in Cursor. Your Cursor agent injects this live Raven Tools data directly into your JSON files or database seeds as you build.

Track Search Rankings via MCP Server

The `get_rank_all` tool queries the Raven Tools MCP Server to fetch your entire rank profile directly into Cursor. You can inspect search positions side-by-side with your frontend code in Cursor to see how design changes affect visibility. Your Cursor agent can instantly format these Raven Tools metrics into clean TypeScript types. To focus on a specific term, use `get_rank` to pull data into Cursor. This keeps your Cursor workspace clean, pulling only the exact Raven Tools data points you need to validate your SEO implementation.
