Tools & Capabilities Breakdown

Seo Performance MCP Tools (9)

posts_list

Discover posts via an XML sitemap (POSTS_SITEMAP_URL or the sitemap_url arg), a JSON override list (POSTS_LIST), or - if configured - the Ghost Admin API. Pass an explicit urls[] to skip discovery entirely. Returns metadata: url, title, published_at, age_days, tags. Filter by minimum age or published-after date. When to use: discover which URLs are eligible for snapshot / verdict / cohort analysis. Works with any CMS that exposes a sitemap.

posts_snapshot

Pull a 30/60/90-day snapshot across every configured signal source for one post: GSC clicks/impressions/CTR/position + top queries, Matomo visits + dwell, GA4 pageviews, Clarity scroll/rage clicks, AI-citation counts. Each source is best-effort: if its env vars are missing the field is omitted. Returns whatever is available. Read-only. No third-party writes. Optionally persists to the local DuckDB cache when persist=true.

posts_decay_curve

Bucket GSC clicks/impressions/avg-position into ~weekly windows for the last N weeks (default 12) and classify the trend: decay / plateau / growth. Underpins the verdict engine's decay rules. Read-only GSC query.

posts_verdict
