What does seo do?

seo is a skill that answers SEO questions from your real data through an MCP server, hosted at seoskill.dev or run locally, or the seo command-line tool. seo crawl checks any site for technical issues without sign-in. The other commands need you to approve access through seo login and read Search Console, Google Analytics, Bing Webmaster Tools and Clicky, plus DataForSEO or Ahrefs for keyword and backlink research. Commands cover a site report, one page's index status and queries, before and after a date with Google updates, indexing reasons, internal link suggestions and raw rows. Each result names the next command to run.

When should you use seo?

Use it when

  • Your Google clicks dropped and you want to know why
  • You want weekly indexing problems tracked by URL
  • You need internal link ideas for a page

Skip it when

  • You won't grant access to your analytics accounts
  • You only want general SEO advice

What it needs and what it can touch

You need

  • Node.js for npx seo, or the hosted MCP server
  • Access to Search Console or another supported data source
  • DataForSEO or Ahrefs for keyword research (optional)

What it can do

  • Runs shell commands (seo or npx -y seo)
  • Reads your Search Console, Analytics, Bing and Clicky data
  • Connects to an outside MCP server (seoskill.dev) if you use the hosted option

From reading its instructions, not from running it.
