Connect Claude Desktop to AuditMe

Run SEO audits, analyze competitors, and generate fix suggestions directly from Claude Desktop using AuditMe's MCP server.

Last updated: September 1, 2026

Prerequisites

  • Claude Desktop installed (Download)
  • API key from AuditMe (for audits, fixes, and workflows)
  • • Internet connection

Public tools (get_site_info, get_audit_methodology, get_seo_concept) work without an API key. Write operations need authentication.

Step 1: Get an API key

Sign up at auditme.dev. API keys are in the dashboard settings.

Don't share your API key publicly or commit it to git.

Step 2: Add to Claude Desktop config

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and add:

  1. 1. Open Claude Desktop
  2. 2. Go to SettingsDeveloperEdit Config
  3. 3. Add the AuditMe server to claude_desktop_config.json
claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "auditme": {
      "url": "https://www.auditme.dev/api/mcp",
      "transport": "streamable-http",
      "headers": {
        "x-api-key": "your-api-key-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Replace your-api-key-here with your actual API key. If you only need public tools, you can omit the headers section.

Step 3: Restart & verify

  1. 1. Fully quit Claude Desktop (not just close the window)
  2. 2. Reopen and start a new conversation
  3. 3. You should see a 🔧 icon in the toolbar
  4. 4. Ask: "What SEO tools do you have?"
