Getting Started with Rampify

Rampify is the SEO intelligence layer for AI tools. You bring the AI tool; Rampify brings the project context: site structure, what's indexed, which keywords are pulling weight, what gaps competitors are leaving open.

How Rampify works#

Two surfaces, one project.

Rampify's data layer at the center, pulling signals from site crawl, GSC, SERP data, keyword volume, LLM probes, and human and LLM traffic, with AI tools (Claude Code, Cursor, ChatGPT) connecting in through MCP

The dashboard is the system of record. It pulls signals from the sources that matter for SEO (your site's crawls and technical state, Google Search Console queries and impressions, Discovery research sessions, the keyword clusters you've built), normalizes them, and synthesizes a coherent picture of your project. The visual workspace is for you to review and steer.

The MCP server is the active surface. Every piece of that synthesized picture is queryable from Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Claude Desktop, or claude.ai through MCP tools. Your AI gets the same project context you see in the dashboard, in a shape it can reason over.

The choice of AI tool is yours. The choice of surface depends on what you're doing. Drafting content in a long conversation? Use claude.ai or Desktop. Implementing a spec in code? Use Claude Code or Cursor. Same Rampify either way.

Quick start#

1
Sign up

Lands you straight in a setup wizard. Under 3 minutes.

2
Walk through the wizard

The wizard's first question, marketing site or app, sets the path for everything that follows. It adapts to where you're starting:

Where you're startingWhat the wizard does
Just an ideaOpens a long-form brainstorm with Claude in claude.ai or Desktop about positioning, audience, and differentiators. Captures what's solid as the conversation goes.
Domain reserved, nothing builtCaptures the domain and scaffolds the workspace for what you're about to build.
Site is liveCrawls the site, surfaces SEO issues, and files feature specs your AI coding tool (Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code) can implement.
Project setup
Rampify's project setup wizard intake step, asking what kind of project (marketing site or app/tool) and where you're starting from (idea, domain only, or live site)

The wizard ends on a stage-appropriate menu of first actions: Discovery research, keyword planning, content drafting, or a technical audit, depending on what fits your project.

3
Connect Rampify to your AI tool

The wizard's last step (and every project page) has a one-click install picker. Pick the tool you use; Rampify handles the auth via OAuth on first connect.

↓ Try it. Fully interactive, same picker as in the app.

Connect Rampifyhttps://www.rampify.dev/api/mcp
Choose your AI tool — remembered everywhere
Run in your terminal. OAuth opens in your browser on first use:
claude mcp add --transport http Rampify https://www.rampify.dev/api/mcp
Then run this
List my projects in Rampify

Confirms the connection and shows which project is active

Crawl my website

Full-site scan — discovers URLs, records metadata, files spec for any issues found

Suggest keyword clusters for my site

Groups keywords into content briefs grounded in your business profile

Full setup details and the Claude UI walkthrough live in the Connecting guide.

(Optional) Connect Google Search Console

Once connected, Rampify pulls indexing data and weekly performance signals. The MCP get_search_performance tool gives your AI direct access to query data, top pages, and ranking-opportunity queries. Catch indexing problems early; turn search data into content briefs.

Tip

Not sure what to do first? Ask your AI: What should I do next on this project? It calls suggest_next_action with your project's current state.

What you can do#

A few common workflows that span both surfaces:

WorkflowWhere it happensWhat you get
Discover positioning gaps and competitor anglesclaude.ai, Claude DesktopA structured research output from a multi-step conversation
Cluster keywords into content briefsclaude.ai, Claude DesktopContent briefs grounded in your business profile
Crawl your site for SEO issuesTriggered from any AI toolFeature specs filed for Cursor or Claude Code to implement
Generate meta tags and JSON-LD schemaAny AI toolReady-to-paste tags for a page you're shipping
Pull GSC insights and content recommendationsAny AI toolQuery-level performance data ready to inform what to write next

The split isn't rigid. A developer planning content can use claude.ai for the long thinking, then Cursor for the implementation. A marketer drafting a brief can stay in Claude Desktop the whole time. Rampify follows you across surfaces because every tool is exposed via MCP.
