Auto-track search rankings in Windsurf

The `get_rank_all` tool pulls every active keyword position for your domains. Your agent uses this data to map ranking shifts without you running manual reports. You can ask Cascade to check a drop in traffic. It runs `get_rank` to pinpoint the exact keyword that slipped, then checks `list_keywords` to see what else you need to monitor. No manual searching required.

Track competitor moves without leaving your editor

This MCP Server uses `list_competitors` to let your agent watch what other players in your niche are doing. Run `add_competitor` to add a new domain to your dashboard. Your agent can pull their metrics, compare them to your own project data from `get_project`, and suggest optimization steps. It does this by chaining these tools together in a single run.

Run technical site audits with Cascade

The `get_site_audit` tool fetches technical errors and health scores directly from your domains. Cascade chains this with `get_links` to check your backlink profile for bad links. Instead of jumping to an external browser tab, you get the raw technical issues right in your workspace. You can fix the code issues Cascade finds and immediately run `check_raventools_status` to make sure the connection is active.
