Screaming Frog SEO Spider MCP Server (headless)

Overview

Screaming Frog SEO Spider MCP Server is a headless implementation of the popular SEO crawling tool, accessible through its command-line interface. It lets you run website crawls, export data, and filter results programmatically without needing a graphical interface. Any MCP-compatible AI assistant can invoke the server's tools directly, deciding when to use them as part of a conversation or automated workflow.

The server runs locally on your machine via the Python package screaming-frog-mcp, installed with uvx screaming-frog-mcp. No authentication credentials are needed—it works out of the box over stdio. The latest release is v0.4.1, published under the MIT license with source code available at bzsasson/screaming-frog-mcp on GitHub, where the project has 81 stars.

Listed under Development on mcp.site, Screaming Frog SEO Spider MCP Server works with Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Zed, and other MCP clients.
