## How to do it

1. **Add the server.** Connect RouterGrowth in Claude as a connector, or add the MCP URL in Cursor or Claude Code settings.
2. **Ask in plain words.** Say the keyword and the city. The agent discovers seo.serp and runs it.
3. **See the quote.** The agent can inspect the price before running, and max_cost caps each call.
4. **Keep working.** Ask the agent to open the top pages with web.scrape or check AI answers with aeo.mentions.

## Ask it like this

- Who ranks on Google in Austin for mcp server for claude, and which pages does the AI Overview cite? (`seo.serp`)
- Check if our brand shows in AI answers for this query, then show me the Google results for it. (`aeo.mentions`, `seo.serp`)
