This guide connects your SiteGuru data to Claude (Claude.ai and Claude Desktop) and to Claude Code, so you can ask Claude what to fix on your site and it answers from your live SiteGuru data. New to the SiteGuru MCP? Start with the MCP overview for what it does and what you'll need.
You need a SiteGuru plan that includes MCP access, and your SiteGuru Server URL:
https://mcp.siteguru.co/mcp
Connecting is one click: you approve access in your browser, and there's no key or secret to copy, store or paste.
Connect to SiteGuru
Claude Desktop and Claude.ai
- Open Settings → Connectors and choose Add custom connector.
- Paste the SiteGuru Server URL
https://mcp.siteguru.co/mcpand click Add. Don't fill out the fields under Advanced Settings. - Claude opens a SiteGuru page in your browser. You're already signed in, so just click Allow to approve access to your SEO data.
- SiteGuru now appears as a connected tool. Enable it in a chat and ask away.
Claude Code
Run this in your terminal:
claude mcp add --transport http siteguru https://mcp.siteguru.co/mcp
Claude Code opens your browser to sign in to SiteGuru and click Allow. Once approved, the connection is ready. Ask Claude Code something about your site to confirm.
Ask your first question
To check the connection, ask Claude:
Which sites do I have in SiteGuru?
Then try
What should I fix first on example.com?
(using one of your own sites).
The first time it uses the connection, Claude may ask you to approve the SiteGuru tools, allow them to continue. For more prompt ideas, see the MCP overview.
Once that works, try a traffic or rankings question:
Which pages on example.com lost traffic last month?
What keywords am I ranking for on example.com?
Managing the connection
You can disconnect any time, either from Settings → Connectors in Claude, or from SiteGuru under Account settings → API access, where Connected apps lists everything you've approved. Disconnecting from SiteGuru takes effect immediately.
Troubleshooting
- SiteGuru isn't showing up. Fully restart Claude after connecting (quit and reopen, don't just close the window), then make sure it's enabled in the chat's tools.
- "MCP access isn't included in your plan" on the Allow screen. The MCP server needs a plan that includes MCP access. Upgrade and reconnect.
- Authentication or "unauthorized" errors. Reconnect and click Allow again to refresh access.
- "No sites found." A connection only reaches the sites on its owner's account. Check you're using the right account, and that the site is still in your account.
