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

seo_scoreAnalyze markdown content for SEO quality and return a 0-100 score with grade. Basic scoring (heading structure, word count, keyword density, readability) requires no credentials and is FREE. Full analysis (issue list, prioritized suggestions, related-keyword gaps) costs 1 credit. Returns: { score, grade, breakdown, issues?, suggestions? }. Common errors: missing 'content' (VALIDATION_ERROR), insufficient credits for full analysis (PAYMENT_REQUIRED).seo_metaGenerate SEO-optimized meta title (<60 chars), meta description (<160 chars), and Open Graph tags from article content. No external API calls; runs locally. Costs 1 credit per call. Returns: { title, description, og: { title, description, image_alt }, twitter: { card, title, description } }. Common errors: insufficient credits (PAYMENT_REQUIRED).seo_schemaGenerate valid JSON-LD structured data for Schema.org Article, FAQPage, or HowTo types. Output is ready to paste into a <script type="application/ld+json"> tag. Costs 1 credit per call. Returns: { jsonld: string, type: 'Article'|'FAQPage'|'HowTo' }. Common errors: invalid type for the supplied content shape (VALIDATION_ERROR), insufficient credits (PAYMENT_REQUIRED).index_nowSubmit one or more URLs to the IndexNow API for instant search-engine indexing across Bing, Yandex, Naver, and Seznam (Google does not participate in IndexNow). FREE. No platform credentials required; uses the Pipepost shared key. Returns: { submitted: number, key, accepted: string[], rejected: string[] }. Common errors: malformed URL or non-https scheme (VALIDATION_ERROR), upstream 4xx from IndexNow (PLATFORM_ERROR).cover_imageSearch Unsplash for cover images. FREE. Requires Unsplash access_key via setup. Subject to Unsplash's 50 req/h demo or 5000 req/h production rate limit. Returns: { results: [{ url_full, url_regular, url_small, photographer, photographer_url, attribution_html, alt }] }. Common errors: missing Unsplash key (VALIDATION_ERROR), rate-limit exceeded (PLATFORM_ERROR).publishPublish a markdown article to one CMS platform: devto, ghost, hashnode, wordpress, medium, or substack. Costs 1 credit per call. Requires platform credentials configured via the 'setup' tool. Supports draft|published status, tags, canonical_url, series, and cover image. Substack is published via reverse-engineered cookie auth. Returns: { url, id, platform, status }. Common errors: platform not configured (VALIDATION_ERROR), credit exhaustion (PAYMENT_REQUIRED), upstream 4xx/5xx (PLATFORM_ERROR), network timeout (NETWORK_ERROR).list_postsList your published and draft posts on a configured platform (devto, ghost, hashnode, wordpress, medium, substack). FREE. Requires platform credentials. Returns: { posts: [{ id, title, status, url, published_at }] }. Common errors: platform not configured (VALIDATION_ERROR), upstream auth failure (PLATFORM_ERROR).cross_publishPublish one article to multiple CMS platforms in a single call. Costs 1 credit total regardless of how many platforms (typical use: 5 platforms). The first successful platform's URL is wired as the canonical for the rest. Requires credentials for every target platform. Returns: { results: [{ platform, status: 'success'|'error', url?, error? }], canonical_url, summary: { ok, failed } }. Common errors: zero platforms configured (VALIDATION_ERROR), credit exhaustion (PAYMENT_REQUIRED). Per-platform failures are reported in results without aborting the whole call.frontmatterGenerate correctly-formatted frontmatter for SSGs and publishing platforms: hugo, jekyll, astro, nextjs, devto, hashnode, ghost. FREE. Auto-extracts description, reading_time, slug, and suggests tags from content. No external calls. Returns: { frontmatter: string, format, extracted: { slug, reading_time_min, description } }. Common errors: unknown format (VALIDATION_ERROR).generate_social_postsGenerate platform-optimized social copy from an article: twitter (thread), linkedin (long form), reddit (post + suggested subreddits), bluesky (single post within 300 graphemes). Costs 1 credit per call regardless of platform count. No platform credentials required (this generates copy; use bluesky_post / linkedin_post / x_post / mastodon_post to actually post). Returns: { posts: { twitter?, linkedin?, reddit?, bluesky? } }. Common errors: insufficient credits (PAYMENT_REQUIRED).repurposeTransform a full blog post into platform-native content for twitter, linkedin, reddit, hackernews (title only), bluesky, newsletter (intro paragraph). Costs 1 credit per call. Output preserves URLs and respects each platform's character limits. Returns: { outputs: { twitter?: string[], linkedin?: string, reddit?: { title, body, subreddits }, hackernews?: string, bluesky?: string, newsletter?: string } }. Common errors: insufficient credits (PAYMENT_REQUIRED).analyticsFetch post views, reactions, and comments from every configured CMS platform (devto, ghost, hashnode, wordpress) and aggregate the totals. FREE. Requires platform credentials. Medium and Substack are listed but their APIs do not expose post-level analytics. Returns: { platforms: [{ platform, posts: [{ title, url, views?, reactions?, comments?, published_at? }], note? }], summary: { total_posts, total_views, total_reactions } }. Common errors: no platforms configured (VALIDATION_ERROR), upstream auth failure surfaces per-platform in 'note'.Paste either block (or both) into your client config, e.g. claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json. We only show a config when the install command is confirmed.
