    "args": ["-y","seo-tools"]
  }
}

## Usage Examples

Once configured, the SEO tools appear automatically in your AI agent. Just ask:

### Content Brief

```

```

→ Calls `get_content_brief` → Returns POP brief with LSI terms, word count targets, heading structure.

### Keyword Research

```
What's the search volume and CPC for "roofing contractor Tampa"?
```

→ Calls `keyword_research` → Returns monthly volume, CPC, competition score.

### SERP Analysis

```
Show me the top 10 results for "dentist near me" in Rockville Centre
```

→ Calls `serp_analysis` → Returns top 10 results with domain authority, titles, descriptions.

### Backlink Profile

```
Analyze the backlink profile of seodesignlab.com
```

→ Calls `backlink_profile` → Returns referring domains, link counts, domain rating.

## 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](https://github.com/coinbase/x402) that can automatically settle micropayments. The server is designed to be payment-agnostic — it works with or without an x402 client.
