Cursor allows you to use SEO data directly in your IDE. This is perfect for developers who want to prioritize performance fixes or content updates based on real traffic.

​
The “Performance Prioritizer” Prompt

Use this in the Chat window to find which files need optimization. 
Run a PageSpeed report for my top 5 most visited pages on mobile using the search-console MCP. 
Cross-reference the results with my local file structure. 
Which React components or CSS files are most likely responsible for the 'Largest Contentful Paint' (LCP) issues on these pages?

​
The “Content Update” Prompt

Use this when you want to update metadata or copy. 
Find any 'Low CTR Opportunities' for the current site. 
Compare the queries discovered with the current <title> and <meta description> tags in my codebase for those pages. 
Suggest improved, keyword-optimized titles that are likely to increase my CTR.

​
The “Health Check Dashboard” Prompt

Use this to monitor all your sites from your IDE. 
Run a health check for https://example.com using the search-console MCP.
Show me the overall status, week-over-week performance changes, and any sitemap errors.
If there are issues, cross-reference with my local code to see if a recent deploy could have caused them.

Why these work well

  • Contextual Awareness: Cursor knows your code. By using the MCP, it also knows your results. This bridge allows it to make code suggestions based on search performance.
  • Zero-Context Switching: You don’t have to leave your editor to know that your recent deploy slowed down your most important landing page.
