Common questions

Is SEOLint better than Screaming Frog?
It depends on your needs. SEOLint is built for founders and developers who use Claude. Connect it as an MCP server in 2 minutes and Claude can scan any URL natively. Every issue comes with a LLM-ready fix prompt that Claude can execute directly on your codebase. Screaming Frog is better if you need a full SEO suite or site-wide crawling. If you want AI-native output and developer ergonomics, SEOLint is the focused choice.
Does SEOLint work as an MCP server for Claude?
Yes. Add one config block to Claude Desktop or Claude Code and Claude gains access to scan_website(), get_scan(), and list_scans() as native tools. You can ask Claude "scan my homepage and fix the critical issues" and it handles the full loop, no browser tab needed. Screaming Frog has no MCP integration.

SEOLint starts at €19/month (Solo: 10 scans, MCP server, CLI access) or €49/month (Builder: 50 scans, REST API, GitHub Actions). Both plans include the MCP server and LLM-ready fix prompts. No annual commitment, cancel anytime.
