# Make sure your virtual environment is activated
fastmcp dev local-seo-checker.py

Option 3: Configure Local MCP Server

This MCP server works with Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, and other MCP-compatible applications.

Configuration Locations

• Claude Desktop (Note: Remote MCP requires newer versions):

  • macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
  • Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

• Cursor:

  • Settings > Tools & Integrations > MCP Tools
  • Or edit: ~/Library/Application Support/Cursor/cursor_desktop_config.json (macOS)
  • Windows: %APPDATA%\Cursor\cursor_desktop_config.json

• Windsurf:

  • macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Windsurf/windsurf_desktop_config.json
  • Windows: %APPDATA%\Windsurf\windsurf_desktop_config.json

For local development, add the following configuration to the appropriate file:

{
  "mcpServers": {

      "command": "/path/to/your/venv/bin/python",
      "args": ["/path/to/your/local-seo-checker.py"]
    }
  }
