AI SEO Agents for Zed
Zed is built for speed, and so is fixing SEO when the data is already in the editor. Add SEOmatic as a custom context server and Zed's agent can audit your live site, read your Search Console data and fix SEO issues in the code you have open.
- One context_servers entry
- OAuth sign-in, no key to manage
- Live audits and Search Console in the agent panel

About SEOmatic for Zed
SEOmatic is a hosted MCP server that Zed adds as a custom context server by URL. Zed's agent calls SEOmatic's tools while it works in your project.
Requirements
Zed and a free SEOmatic account. Nothing extra: the connection signs in with OAuth.
Pricing
Free to connect, with 5 questions a month from your own data (plus 10 once you connect Search Console). Paid plans add agents that stage fixes for your approval. See pricing.

SEOmatic in Zed
What SEOmatic Does in Zed
Page Performance at a Glance
Clicks, impressions, CTR and top queries for the page you are working on.
Live Site Audit
Up to 30 pages crawled for duplicate titles, thin content, noindex leaks, canonical problems and broken internal links.
Metadata Fixes
Titles and descriptions rewritten in the code, matched to the queries each page already shows up for.
Index Status
Why Google excluded a page, from URL Inspection data, in the same panel.
Zed suits developers who want the SEO answer without the context switch. With SEOmatic, the agent panel becomes the place to check how a page performs in search and fix what is wrong with it.
SEO Prompts to Try in Zed
Try these in Zed's agent panel:
- “Audit https://example.com with SEOmatic and fix the issues in this project.”
- “How is the page I have open performing in Google Search?”
- “Which of our pages have the lowest CTR for their position?”
- “Is this URL indexed? If not, what is blocking it?”
How It Works, Step by Step
- You add SEOmatic under context_servers in Zed's settings.json.
- Zed runs the OAuth sign-in, and you approve it.
- You ask the agent an SEO question.
- It calls SEOmatic for the audit, Search Console data or index status, and edits the code behind each issue for your review.
- It re-checks the live page after you deploy.
How to Connect SEOmatic to Zed
One entry in settings.json under context_servers. Pick OAuth or a header, never both.
- Add the context server. In Zed's settings.json, add a seomatic entry under context_servers with source custom and the URL https://app.seomatic.ai/api/mcp, as in the snippet below.
- Sign in. Approve the SEOmatic sign-in Zed opens, creating a free account if you need one, and pick your site.
- Ask the agent. Try “Audit our live site with SEOmatic and list the issues this project causes.”
Zed setup
// settings.json -> context_servers
{
"seomatic": {
"source": "custom",
"url": "https://app.seomatic.ai/api/mcp"
}
}Setting an Authorization header here makes Zed skip the OAuth flow entirely. Use one or the other, never both.
What Is Free and What Is Paid
Connecting is free, and so is the SEOmatic account behind it: no card. A free account answers 5 questions a month from your own data, plus 10 bonus questions once you connect Google Search Console. Each tool call counts as one question, so a big request can use a few.
Free covers the diagnosis: Search Console reports and insights, site audits of up to 30 pages, live page analysis, and your AI visibility results. Live market data, like keyword volumes, backlink profiles and competitor domains, is part of paid plans, with one free keyword preview per workspace.
Paid plans remove the question limit and add the treatment: agents stage fixes on your site (titles, descriptions, content updates, technical fixes, internal links) and run campaigns and fresh AI visibility scans. Every paid plan starts with a 14-day free trial. See pricing.
Nothing Changes on Your Site Without Your Approval
Zed's code edits stay under your review. Anything SEOmatic would change on a live site through a connected CMS is staged, never pushed. A staged change is a proposal: it says what will change and why, and nothing touches your site until you approve it. The assistant records your decision, and it is told never to approve anything on its own judgment. Approved fixes start within seconds, the page's previous state is stored, and any applied change can be rolled back. Changes that could take a page out of Google, like a noindex, need an extra explicit confirmation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can Zed do SEO?
Zed's agent can edit the code behind your SEO. With SEOmatic added as a context server, it also audits your live site, reads your Search Console data and checks index status, so its fixes target real problems.
How do I add SEOmatic to Zed?
In settings.json, add a seomatic entry under context_servers with source custom and the URL https://app.seomatic.ai/api/mcp. Zed opens the SEOmatic sign-in; approve it and pick your site.
Is it free?
Yes. The account is free with no card, with 5 questions a month from your own data plus 10 bonus questions once you connect Search Console. Paid plans remove the limit and add agents that stage changes in your CMS.
Can it change my site without asking?
No. By default every change SEOmatic proposes waits for your approval before it touches your site, and your assistant is told never to approve on its own. Approved changes are stored with the page's previous state, so any of them can be rolled back. If you later want low-risk fixes to go ahead on their own, you can turn that on in your autonomy settings; changes to your URLs still wait for you.
Why does Zed skip the sign-in screen?
If you set an Authorization header on the context server, Zed uses it and skips OAuth. Remove the header to sign in with OAuth, or keep it with a valid SEOmatic API key.
