Best MCP servers for SEO

SEO work with an AI agent comes down to two repeated moves: crawling pages to audit structure, content, and metadata, and searching the live web to understand what ranks and what competitors publish. A base model can do neither on its own; it has no fresh index and cannot fetch a page. The servers below give it both, a crawler that turns sites into clean, structured data for audits, and search backends that return current results for keyword research and SERP analysis. Pair a crawler with at least one search server; stacking multiple search sources widens coverage and cross-checks results. Each ships a verified, current install config.
