Real search volumes, not guesses
Keyword Planner data straight from the Google Ads API — monthly searches, competition and bid ranges. When your assistant recommends a phrase, it is a phrase people actually search for.
Your assistant can already write the fix. It cannot see your Search Console history, and it is guessing at search volumes. TrafficBud's MCP server hands it eleven read-only tools backed by live Google data — so the advice it gives you is grounded in what your site actually ranks for.
> which of my pages are closest to page one? · gsc_opportunities(site_url: "yoursite.com") Three pages are sitting just off page one: /guides/onboarding position 12.4 · 2,140 impressions Ranking for "employee onboarding checklist" but the title doesn't contain the phrase.

AI coding assistants are good at writing the fix and bad at knowing which fix is worth writing. They cannot see your Search Console, they have no access to Google's keyword data, and when asked about search volume they will produce a confident number from nowhere. TrafficBud closes that gap with real data from accounts you already own.
Keyword Planner data straight from the Google Ads API — monthly searches, competition and bid ranges. When your assistant recommends a phrase, it is a phrase people actually search for.
Weekly average position and impressions for every page, pulled from your verified Search Console property. Your assistant can see whether a page is climbing or sliding before it suggests changing anything.
Eleven tools, none of which can write. TrafficBud reads your pages and your Google data and reports back. It cannot edit, publish or delete anything on your site, and neither can your assistant through it.
Stay in the editor. Ask for an audit in the same conversation where you are writing the code, and apply the fix without ever opening a browser tab.
TrafficBud hosts the server, so there is no package to install and nothing to keep updated. When we add a tool, it appears in your assistant on the next call.
No card required. Sign up, then open API keys from your dashboard and create one.
In Claude Code:
claude mcp add --transport http trafficbud https://www.trafficbud.io/mcp \
--header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY"In Claude Desktop, Cursor or any other MCP client, add this to your configuration file:
{
"mcpServers": {
"trafficbud": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://www.trafficbud.io/mcp",
"headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_KEY" }
}
}
}“Audit my homepage with TrafficBud.” That is the whole interface.
Five work on the free plan, within the same three-audits-a-month allowance as the dashboard. The rest need a paid plan, because they run on Google credentials and data that cost us money to hold.
| Tool | What your assistant can do with it | Plan |
|---|---|---|
| audit_page | Score any page 0–100 and get a ranked list of concrete issues with fixes: titles, meta descriptions, headings, canonicals, indexability, internal links, alt text, structured data and load time. | Free |
| audit_sitemap | Check that the XML sitemap is discoverable and well-formed, that its URLs resolve, and that robots.txt is not blocking anything that matters. | Free |
| check_mobile | Find mobile problems in the markup: viewport, tap targets, unreadable type, fixed-width layout, wrong keyboard hints on form fields. | Free |
| check_spelling | Catch typos in the visible copy. Paid plans add a grammar and style pass. | Free |
| generate_schema | Produce paste-ready JSON-LD structured data for a page, with placement notes and warnings where the page lacks the content a schema type needs. | Free |
| check_job | Collect the result of a longer job once it finishes. | Free |
| keyword_ideas | Real Google Keyword Planner data: monthly search volumes, competition and bid ranges for the phrases a page could rank for. | Paid |
| rank_history | Weekly average Google position and impressions for your site, going back up to sixteen months. | Paid |
| gsc_opportunities | Rank your Search Console data by opportunity: striking-distance queries, pages whose click-through rate is below what their position should earn, and high-impression pages getting no clicks. | Paid |
| agent_task_file | Turn any saved report into a full plain-text brief written for an agent to work through, in priority order. | Paid |
| find_internal_links | Crawl up to thirty pages and find missing internal links, orphan pages and thinly linked sections. | Paid |
The Model Context Protocol is an open standard that lets an AI assistant use outside tools. Installing TrafficBud's MCP server means Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor and other MCP clients can run TrafficBud audits directly, without you opening a dashboard.
No. TrafficBud runs the server, so there is nothing to download, no package to keep updated and no Node or Python environment to manage. You add one line of configuration containing your API key.
The audits, sitemap check, mobile check, spelling check and schema generator work on the free plan, within the same three-audits-a-month allowance as the dashboard. Keyword Planner data, Search Console history and the agent task file need a paid plan from $29 a month.
No. Every tool is read-only by design. TrafficBud can read your pages and your Google data and tell your assistant what to fix, but it has no ability to edit, publish or delete anything.
It can fetch a page and spot an obvious missing meta description. What it cannot do is tell you that a page sat at position 58 for three months, or that a phrase you are considering gets 12,000 searches a month. That data comes from Google accounts you have connected, and TrafficBud is what connects them.
Anything that speaks the Model Context Protocol over HTTP. That includes Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, and a growing list of other clients.
Every one of these tools has a full dashboard version, with saved reports, PDF exports, scheduled crawls and a monthly action-plan email.
