SEO rankings, search performance, keyword opportunities, competitors and site audits.
These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.
We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

Works in Claude on the web, desktop and mobile:

Compared with every active server in this category in the registry. Stars count only when the publisher owns the repo.
It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.
The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.
It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.
The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.2.0) reached the registry 27 days ago.
Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

An MCP server retrieving transcripts of YouTube videos
GA4 MCP server for AI agents: schema discovery, server-side aggregation, analysis-ready defaults.
AI video summarizer: summarize and transcribe YouTube, Bilibili, TikTok and podcast videos.

Ask Claude, ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, VS Code or the Gemini CLI about the SEO data of your own websites. The plugin connects your assistant to the Serpel MCP server and adds a skill that explains which tool to use when.
The plugin contains manifests and one skill only. It has no program code and no hooks.

All lists contain at most 25 rows. Tools only read data of projects you can access, and they never change your website.
ChatGPT does not offer research_keywords. In all other clients it needs an active Starter or Pro plan and the workspace setting “Agents can spend credits”. A daily credit limit for agents applies, and credits come from your monthly plan allowance first.
In apps that can display MCP Apps, such as ChatGPT and Claude, four tools show their result as an interactive card: get_keyword_rankings, get_crawl_issues, find_keyword_opportunities and get_ai_visibility. Every other client, for example Claude Code, Cursor, Codex and the Gemini CLI, gets the same data as text. The cards load no external resources and open links only to the Serpel dashboard.
The server address is https://serpel.app/mcp (Streamable HTTP). Clients that support OAuth open a browser window for the sign-in on first use. Alternatively create an API token with the mcp:read permission (plus the read permissions for the data you want to use) in the Serpel dashboard under Settings, API tokens, and send it as Authorization: Bearer .
claude mcp add --transport http serpel https://serpel.app/mcp
To load the plugin with its skill from a local checkout: claude --plugin-dir ./serpel-plugin.
Install the plugin from the plugin directory, or add the remote MCP server https://serpel.app/mcp in the connector settings and sign in with your Serpel account.
Add the server in .cursor/mcp.json or install the plugin from the marketplace:
{
"mcpServers": { "serpel": { "url": "https://serpel.app/mcp" } } }
Add the server in .vscode/mcp.json or install it from the MCP gallery (@mcp):
{
"servers": { "serpel": { "type": "http", "url": "https://serpel.app/mcp" } } }
