Programmatic Content Scoring with Surfer SEO MCP Server

After a build, run `get_content_score` to check optimization status. You feed it the content editor details and get an immediate score back in your script's output stream. This is essential for automated quality gates.

Batch Audit Execution via Claude Code

To audit a batch of URLs, use `create_seo_audit` within a shell script loop. The CLI handles the async calls and queues up multiple audits. You can then pipe these jobs into other processing tools.
