Seo MCP Server

@seodesignlab/mcp-server

MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for SEODesignLab's x402-protected SEO endpoints.

Expose professional SEO tools — content briefs, keyword research, SERP analysis, backlink profiles, and on-page audits — to any MCP-compatible AI agent (Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code Copilot, etc.) with automatic x402 micropayment handling on Base.

x402 Payment Flow

AI Agent (Claude, Cursor, etc.)
    │
    ▼
MCP Server (this package)
    │
    ▼  Adds X-Payment-* headers
Cloudflare Worker (x402 paywall)
    │
    ├── Payment valid? ──► YES ──► Proxy to SEO API ──► Return data
    │
    └── No payment? ──► 402 + x402 settlement instructions

When X402_PAY_TO is configured, the MCP server attaches payment headers to every request. The Cloudflare Worker validates the x402 payment and either:

1. Paid → Forwards the request to the SEO backend on Render, returns the result.
2. Unpaid → Returns a 402 Payment Required with the price, wallet address, and settlement instructions.

x402 Client Integration

For production use, pair this MCP server with an x402-compatible client that can automatically settle micropayments. The server is designed to be payment-agnostic — it works with or without an x402 client.
