Cursor SEO

Cursor already edits the repo. Fig is the missing tool for your agent: live rankings, related keywords, page-one SERPs, and checks for Google AI and ChatGPT mentions, so Cursor can brief and ship in the same chat. Fig is hosted research at https://figaeo.com. Checkout starts at $10, but $20 is recommended to improve your SEO and AEO. Fig does not publish the site. Cursor does.

How Cursor uses Fig

You name the site and the market. Cursor calls Fig, then writes the change in the repo for you to review. You approve sign-in and Checkout. Fig returns the research. Cursor ships it.

What the production URL already appears for, plus related keywords worth a page.
Page-one SERPs and the competitors on them.
Observed mentions in Google AI answers and ChatGPT. Fig does not return a Gemini mention score.
A title, outline, and in-repo edit you can review in the same chat.
A Checkout request when the prepaid balance cannot cover the next lookup.

When you need Fig in Cursor

Cursor can edit the repo without Fig. It still needs live search data before an SEO or AEO change. Fig supplies keywords, SERPs, and AI mentions in the same chat that ships the page.

Use Fig when the next title, URL, or internal link depends on what Google shows now.

Fig’s MCP URL is https://figaeo.com/mcp (Streamable HTTP). Sign in with GitHub or Google. The mcp.json snippet and skill folders (.cursor/skills/ or ~/.cursor/skills/) are under Technical details.

You are about to change a page and need current rankings and related terms for the United States, or another market you name.
You want page one and the competing URLs before you brief the rewrite.
You want a check for Google AI and ChatGPT mentions on the queries you care about.
You want the research and the edit in one Cursor session.

Give this to your agent

Set up Fig - https://figaeo.com/llms.txt

Setup

Copy the setup prompt into Cursor.
Install Fig and start with the fig skill. Other skills join when the job needs an audit, writing, or a check after you ship.
Approve GitHub or Google sign-in when asked.
If remaining credits are $0, approve Checkout (Checkout starts at $10, but $20 is recommended to improve your SEO and AEO.)
Fig uses prepaid credits. Checkout starts at $10, but $20 is recommended to improve your SEO and AEO. Your agent spends the balance on live lookups and asks you to approve Checkout again when it needs more.
Start with the fig skill. It routes each job to fig-site-audit, fig-search-research, fig-answer-research, fig-content-strategy, fig-content-craft, fig-programmatic-seo, fig-free-tool, fig-content-validation, fig-outcomes, fig-seo-setup, fig-offpage, and fig-distribute for focused SEO and AEO work.

What to ask next

What does our live site already show up for in the United States?
Which related keywords are worth a page in this repo, and what does page one look like?
Are we mentioned in Google AI answers or ChatGPT for the queries we care about?
Compare SERP competitors for our primary query and outline the page we should ship.
After we ship, rerun the same Fig lookups and quote only what Fig returned.

Cursor with Fig, a local audit, or a dashboard?

Cursor plus Fig researches and ships in one chat. An audit-only local MCP reads the site you point it at. A dashboard suite such as Ahrefs or Semrush is a monthly product you open outside the repo.

Question	Cursor + Fig	Audit-only local MCP	Dashboard SEO suite
Live SERPs and keywords	Hosted lookups for keywords, page-one SERPs, and competitors.	Audits pages you already have. Does not return hosted live SERPs or keyword demand.	Keyword and SERP reports inside a monthly dashboard (Ahrefs, Semrush).
AI mention checks	Observed Google AI and ChatGPT mentions. No Gemini mention score.	Not part of an audit-only local MCP.	Read in the suite, outside the Cursor chat.
Ship in the repo	Cursor writes the change. Fig does not publish the site.	Findings only. You still edit.	Recommendations only. You still edit.
Price	Checkout starts at $10, but $20 is recommended to improve your SEO and AEO. Prepaid credits.	No Fig Checkout. You run the audit locally.	Monthly subscription.
Where the work happens	The Cursor chat, on the repo.	The editor plus a local MCP.	A dashboard, then the repo.

What Fig does

Fig is hosted SEO and AEO research. In Cursor, the chat can look the data up and then edit.

Live keywords, SERPs, competitors, and observed Google AI and ChatGPT mentions.
The fig skill, which routes the job to a specialist. Setup lists the specialist skills.
A Checkout prompt when prepaid credits are too low for the next lookup.

What Fig does not do

Publish your site. Cursor, or you, ships the change in the repo.
Invent rankings, Search Console clicks, or impressions.
Score mentions inside Gemini answers.
Replace a monthly dashboard. Fig is research the agent calls, not a seat you browse.
