How to Use the SEO Analyzer API — Free REST + MCP Server

#seo #webdev #api #mcp

You can check your SEO manually in Chrome DevTools... or you can automate it. This API analyzes any URL for title tags, meta descriptions, heading structure, Open Graph, schema markup, and returns an overall score with specific recommendations.

Try It Right Now

curl -s -X POST https://api.lazy-mac.com/seo/api/v1/analyze \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"url": "https://dev.to"}' | jq '.overallScore, .grade, .scores'

Response:

{
  "overallScore": 62,
  "grade": "D",
  "scores": {
    "title": 15,
    "metaDescription": 10,
    "headings": 100,
    "images": 59,
    "links": 100,
    "openGraph": 100,
    "technical": 84,
    "schema": 0,
    "content": 100
  }
}

Even dev.to gets a D! The API tells you exactly what to fix.
