AI agent SEO tools

AI agent SEO tools are whatever a coding agent can call without a human babysitting a dashboard. That is a short list: hosted MCP lookups, a few wholesale APIs, and plugin wrappers around suites. Fig is the hosted MCP plus one router and five specialist skills.

Shapes that actually work in chat

  • Hosted MCP (Fig): agent-native tools, compact JSON, human Checkout.
  • Wholesale APIs: cheapest per unit if you will keep keys, queues, and location codes.
  • Suite MCP add-ons: useful if you already pay for the seat; still a monthly product.

Fig’s research set

Start with get_serp, suggest_keywords, get_keyword_metrics, research_domain, compare_serp_competitors, and research_ai_visibility. Backlinks and local tools are there when the job needs them. balance and create_checkout are billing, not research.

Fig is prepaid credit, not a monthly seat. Checkout starts at $10; a $20 pack is the recommended default. Your agent spends the balance on live lookups, then asks you to approve Checkout again when remaining USD cannot cover the next call.

Fig does not guarantee rankings, citations, or traffic. It returns research data your agent can call. Humans approve sign-in and Checkout. The agent (or you) decides what to change on the site.
