Zutrix MCP Server lets you connect your favorite AI tools — like Claude, Cursor, and VS Code — directly to your Zutrix SEO data. With MCP (Model Context Protocol), your AI assistant can pull real-time rankings, keyword data, backlink profiles, and more from your Zutrix account.
This means you can ask your AI questions about your SEO data and get instant, accurate answers without switching between tools.

Step 4: Start Using Your SEO Data
