xSeek AEO MCP

The xSeek MCP server lets MCP-compatible clients (like Cursor) call xSeek tools using your API key.

What is MCP?

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is a standard that lets AI assistants securely connect to external tools. xSeek exposes a set of tools (robots checks, LLMs.txt generation, website/prompt management, reporting) through its MCP server so you can run them from your AI client.

Endpoint

https://www.xseek.io/api/mcp

Authentication

Uses your xSeek API key as a Bearer token. Treat it like a password.

Setup

1) Get your API key

2) Configure Cursor

~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "xSeek": {
      "url": "https://www.xseek.io/api/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY_HERE"
      }
    }
  }
}

Important: Replace YOUR_API_KEY_HERE with your real API key.

3) Restart Cursor

Restart your MCP client so it loads the configuration and discovers the xSeek tools.

Troubleshooting

Vercel password protection / “Vercel authentication”

If your MCP client hits a password-protected page instead of the API route, MCP won't work. Disable Vercel password protection (or exclude /api/mcp from protection if your plan supports it).

Correct endpoint format: https://<your-app-domain>/api/mcp
