MCP Server Overview
The Rampify MCP (Model Context Protocol) server brings real-time SEO intelligence directly into your AI coding tools like VS Code, Cursor and Zed.
What is MCP?#
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard developed by Anthropic that enables AI assistants to connect with external tools and data sources. Think of it as a standardized way for your AI coding assistant to access specialized capabilities.
How It Works#
- Install the MCP server on your machine
- Configure your editor (Cursor, Claude Code, etc.)
- Start coding - ask your AI assistant SEO questions
- Get instant answers from your Rampify data
Example Conversations#
Check SEO status:
You: "What's the current SEO status of example.com?"
AI: *Uses get_page_seo() tool*
"Your site has 247 URLs with 230 indexed. I found 3 critical issues:
- 2 pages returning 404 errors
- 1 redirect chain that should be fixed
Would you like me to show you the details?"
Generate meta tags:
You: "Generate optimized meta tags for this blog post"
AI: *Uses generate_meta() tool*
"Here are optimized meta tags:
Title: Next.js SEO Best Practices: Complete Guide for 2025
Meta: Learn proven Next.js SEO techniques including metadata...
The title includes your target keyword and year for freshness.
Want me to update the file with these tags?"
Content opportunities:
You: "What should I write next based on my GSC data?"
AI: *Uses get_gsc_insights() tool*
"Based on your search query performance, I found 3 opportunities:
1. 'Next.js SEO' - You rank #4 with low CTR (expand existing content)
2. 'Schema markup tutorial' - Position #12 (create comprehensive guide)
3. 'Semrush alternatives' - 200+ impressions, 0 clicks (comparison post)
Want me to help you outline any of these?"
