News: Morningscore launched our new seo mcp server in beta in May 2026. It is now live but official docs still label it as beta.

This is a beta release ⚠️ Please report any issues in our chat 😊

MCP endpoint: https://mcp.morningscore.io/mcp (include the /mcp path)

API key: Check the Morningscore MCP setup guide for details on finding your key.

Auth is via OAuth (browser flow, paste your API key when prompted) or a direct Authorization: Bearer / X-Morningscore-Api-Key header.

Setup for SEO MCP in Claude

Step by step video guide on how to install Morningscore’s MCP in Claude:

Docs: Claude developer docs for building connectors.

Available across free and paid plans. Setup works without requiring a paid subscription.

Claude connects from Anthropic’s cloud, so the server must be publicly reachable on the internet. If firewalled, check the IP allowlisting support article.

Pro / Max:

1. Follow the Claude support guide to access connector settings.
2. Click + then Add custom connector.
3. Enter https://mcp.morningscore.io/mcp as the URL and a name.
4. Click Add, open the connector, click Connect, and paste your API key when the login page appears.

Team / Enterprise: An Owner adds the connector first as described in the official guide for custom connectors. Members then connect via their personal settings.

To toggle per conversation: + (bottom left in chat) > Connectors.

Connecting the SEO MCP in Cursor

Docs: [MCP in Cursor]image.png(https://cursor.com/docs/mcp)

Use OAuth so your API key is not stored in config files. The seo mcp connection is simple to manage this way.

1. Open Settings > MCP (or Tools & MCP), add a new remote server, and enter https://mcp.morningscore.io/mcp.
2. Cursor will start the OAuth flow. Complete it in the browser and enter your API key on the Morningscore login page.

Or add it manually to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (global) or .cursor/mcp.json (project):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "morningscore-mcp": {
      "url": "https://mcp.morningscore.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Restart Cursor after editing the file. If OAuth does not work, add a headers block with "Authorization": "Bearer ${env:MORNINGSCORE_API_KEY}" as a fallback.

Lovable

Docs: Lovable MCP tutorial

Custom MCP servers are supported on all subscription plans.

1. Open Connectors in the left sidebar of your Lovable project.
2. Scroll down past the pre-built connectors and click Add MCP server.
3. Fill in the dialog:
   • Server name: Morningscore MCP
   • Server URL: https://mcp.morningscore.io/mcp
   • Authentication: leave on OAuth (default)
4. Click Add & authorize and enter your API key on our login page

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the seo mcp and how do I get started?

Our server lets you connect your SEO data directly to AI tools like Claude, Cursor, and Lovable to automate your workflows. You simply grab your API key from your platform settings and connect using our endpoint at https://mcp.morningscore.io/mcp. Check our setup guide for full details on finding your key.

Should I use OAuth or API keys for my seo mcp connection?

We recommend using the OAuth browser flow for most platform setups like Cursor or Lovable. This method keeps things secure and prevents your key from being stored in local config files. If OAuth fails, you can use a direct authorization header as a reliable fallback.

What are the exact rate limits for the API?

Each API key is limited to 20 requests per second. This works out to a maximum of 100 requests within any 5-second interval. You can visit the Morningscore API Reference if you need to review our full technical documentation.

How do I handle connection issues or 401 errors?

First, verify that your API key is correctly entered and has not expired. If you are using Claude behind a strict firewall, you might need to complete their IP allowlisting setup. Please report any issues in our chat if you run into bugs during this beta phase.
