A side-by-side look at the Frase SEO and Seovendor MCP servers: transport, auth, tools, quality signals, and the config to install either one in Claude, Cursor, Windsurf or VS Code.
Verdict: choose Frase SEO for marketing work as a local process; choose Seovendor for marketing over a hosted endpoint. You can also run both side by side in one mcpServers block.
