About SEO MCP Tools
SEO MCP Tools is a server for extracting sitemap URLs listed in websites' robots.txt files. It offers separate tools to return the first sitemap URL or all sitemap URLs.
Key features
- 01Fetch robots.txt from a URL
- 02Extract the first sitemap URL
- 03Extract all sitemap URLs
- 04Parse varied robots.txt formatting
Use cases
- 01Check a site's declared sitemap
- 02Collect every sitemap URL from robots.txt
MCP support
It exposes two tools to MCP clients for retrieving the first or all sitemap URLs from a robots.txt file.
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.
We haven’t collected a package or remote endpoint for this server. Follow the instructions in the project README.
Tools
Local servers expose tools only once running on your machine, and the maintainer has not provided a tool list.
Details
From the project READMESEO MCP Tools
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides SEO tools for analyzing robots.txt files. This server implements a set of specialized tools that help extract and analyze sitemap information from robots.txt files across the web.
Features
The SEO MCP Tools server provides two primary tools:
- Get First Sitemap URL: Extract the first sitemap URL from a robots.txt file.
- Get All Sitemap URLs: Extract all sitemap URLs from a robots.txt file.
Requirements
- Python 3.8+
- FastMCP
- advertools
- requests
- pandas
Installation
-
Clone this repository:
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/seo-mcp-tools.git cd seo-mcp-tools -
Install the required dependencies:
pip install fastmcp advertools requests pandas
Usage
Running the Server
Start the MCP server with:
python mcp_server.py
Alternatively, use the FastMCP development tools for an interactive testing environment:
fastmcp dev mcp_server.py
MCP Tool Calls
Get First Sitemap URL
from mcp_client import MCP_Client # Assuming you're using an MCP client
client = MCP_Client("http://localhost:8000")
# Extract the first sitemap URL from a robots.txt file
first_sitemap = client.call("get_sitemap_url_from_robots_txt", {
"robots_txt_url": "https://example.com/robots.txt"
})
print(f"First sitemap URL: {first_sitemap}")
Get All Sitemap URLs
# Extract all sitemap URLs from a robots.txt file
all_sitemaps = client.call("get_all_sitemap_urls_from_robots_txt", {
"robots_txt_url": "https://example.com/robots.txt"
})
print(f"All sitemap URLs: {all_sitemaps}")
Claude Desktop Integration
-
Create a minimal MCP configuration file:
{ "version": "v1", "endpoints": [{ "name": "SEO Tools", "transport": { "type": "stdio", "command": { "path": "/path/to/python", "args": ["/path/to/mcp_server.py"] } }, "input_format": "json", "output_format": "json" }] } -
Install in Claude Desktop:
fastmcp install mcp_server.py
For development/testing mode, use: fastmcp dev mcp_server.py
Testing
Run the tests to verify server functionality:
pytests
The test suite includes validation against real websites' robots.txt files to ensure the tools work correctly with various robots.txt structures.
How It Works
The server uses direct HTTP requests to fetch robots.txt files from URLs, then applies regular expression patterns to extract relevant directives. This approach ensures reliable parsing of robots.txt files from various websites, regardless of formatting differences.

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
