Open SEO MCP Skills: SEO audits built on your Search Console numbers
Most SEO tools estimate rankings from scraped results instead of reading a site's real clicks. These eight skills run through the Ryze MCP connector: positions and traffic come from your Search Console and GA4, volumes from Google Ads, and competitor keywords, backlinks and SERPs from the DataForSEO access built into it.
seo-audit reads Search Console and GA4 for indexation problems, CTR anomalies, decaying pages and keywords just outside the top results.
rank-tracking lists the queries that gained or lost positions between any two periods, with no separate tracker subscription.
keyword-research turns a seed topic into ideas with volume, CPC, intent and difficulty, then clusters them into a plan.
competitor-gap finds keywords a rival ranks for and you do not; backlink-check compares referring domains and anchors side by side.
ai-visibility uses GA4 referral reports to show traffic from ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude and Gemini and the pages those engines cite.
When to use it
Organic traffic dropped and you need to see which pages and queries lost ground over the last month.
You suspect you pay for ad clicks on queries you already rank for, and want seo-vs-ads to list them.
Before writing a page you want a content-brief with the ranking headings, open questions and internal link targets.
