A new 🔥 release from @screamingfrog with v24.0, including their official MCP! This is one of those AI + SEO updates that I find genuinely useful, because it can help reduce a lot of the repetitive manual work involved in pulling, exporting, segmenting, and combining crawl data with other sources.
Used alongside other SEO tools MCPs already available, like @Similarweb , @semrush , @seogets , Glippy, @ahrefs , etc. it opens the door to more practical workflows where you can easily integrate crawl, visibility, keyword, traffic, backlink, and competitive data faster.
For example:
✅ Segment crawl data at scale
✅ Compare technical issues with performance signals
✅ Combine different data sources without endless exports/imports
✅ Identify patterns that would otherwise take much longer to spot
✅ Spend more time validating, prioritizing, and deciding what to do next
That’s the part I’m interested in: not replacing the analysis, but making it less painful to get to the useful part of the analysis.
My only wish is that I didn’t have to burn so many credits across some of these tools to get the information I actually need 😅
And of course, the usual caveat: validate everything. The data still needs to be accurate, and the output needs to be checked. Especially when combining multiple sources or asking AI to interpret the results. I have trust issues, sorry.
But overall, this is a very useful direction for SEO workflows: better access to the data we already use, less manual handling, and more time spent on actual SEO thinking.
