Your assistant can then create and run SCM tasks and read their results: article scraping from search results, site crawls, Google Maps listings, archive.org downloads and SEO Workspace pages. The work runs inside the SCM app on your machine, with its own browser and task queue.

Requirements

SEO Content Machine running on the same machine, on Windows, Mac or Linux. There is a 14-day free trial, no card needed.
Node.js 18 or newer.

Setup

Claude Code:

claude mcp add scm -- npx -y seo-content-machine-mcp

Any other MCP client, in its config file:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "scm": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "seo-content-machine-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

If you set an API key in SCM (Settings > App > Api secret key), pass it as SCM_API_KEY. If SCM's API runs somewhere other than http://localhost:8008, set SCM_API_URL.

How it works

SCM serves MCP over HTTP at /mcp inside the app. This package is a small stdio relay: the client talks to it over stdin and stdout, and it forwards each message to the app. You can start SCM before or after your MCP client. While SCM is closed the server lists no tools, and it tells the client to list them again once SCM starts. Tool calls made while SCM is closed return an error that says to start it.
