Use the right ContextBolt account Use the email on your active ContextBolt SEO trial or subscription. Signing in does not buy another plan or change your credits.

Open custom app setup Use ChatGPT's custom MCP app or connector setup, with Developer mode if required. Availability and tool permissions depend on your plan and workspace settings. This is a custom connection, separate from any directory listing.

Choose OAuth and connect Use https://seo.contextbolt.app/mcp and select OAuth, not None. Sign in on the ContextBolt page with your SEO subscription email, enter the email code, and approve the connection.

Check the connection Start a fresh chat or session and ask what SEO tools are available. Your current credits and saved research belong to the same account as before.

Connect Search Console if you want it Google Search Console is a separate, optional read-only connection. Ask your agent to connect it and approve the Google prompt. Existing Search Console connections are unchanged, and old SEO Dashboard links now open the sign-in page first.

Then ask it something real.

“I'm writing a guide on cold brew coffee. What keywords should it target?” ChatGPT calls keyword_research and returns related terms with volume, difficulty, and intent, so you plan the piece around real demand before you write a word.

“How hard is 'best crm for startups' to rank for, and who's in the top 10?” Chains keyword_difficulty and serp_overview, so you get a difficulty score plus the live page-one results to model your page on.

“What does notion.so rank for, and who else competes for those terms?” Runs ranked_keywords then competitor_keywords for a content map plus the full set of rivals chasing the same keywords.

“Who links to my biggest competitor but not to me?” Calls backlink_gap and returns a spam-scored prospect list, a ready-made outreach shortlist. Backlink calls cost three credits each.

The longer story.

Connect with OAuth. Use https://seo.contextbolt.app/mcp, then sign in with your SEO subscription email, enter the email code, and approve access. Existing personal URLs still work for older clients. Full setup and recovery help.

ChatGPT speaks the Model Context Protocol now. Turn on Developer Mode and you can add ContextBolt SEO as a custom connector, then pull live keyword, SERP, and competitor data straight into the chat you already work in. Saved to your SEO Dashboard, no export, no second tab.

It is the same hosted SEO MCP server that runs in Claude and Cursor. One URL, and ChatGPT can answer real SEO questions with live numbers instead of guessing from training data.

Read-only is all SEO research needs

Custom MCP app availability and tool permissions depend on your current ChatGPT plan and workspace settings. Use Developer mode if required by your account, or ask your workspace admin to enable custom apps. Do not assume directory access means custom apps are enabled. Research also saves results to your ContextBolt account, and some tools manage your dashboard or connections. Your client may ask for approval or restrict those tools.

SEO research without leaving the chat

When you are planning a page in ChatGPT, that is the moment to decide what it should rank for. Ask “what should this target, and who already owns those terms?” and the answer comes back in the same thread. Because these are MCP tools, ChatGPT chains them, so “find five low-difficulty keywords for my pricing page and show who ranks for each” is one request that calls several tools.

Adding the connector

Open ChatGPT’s custom app or connector setup. Enable Developer mode if required and available for your account. Name the connection ContextBolt SEO and use this URL:

https://seo.contextbolt.app/mcp

Choose OAuth and complete the ContextBolt sign-in with your SEO account email, the email code, and your approval. Toggle the connector on in any chat’s tools menu and ask “what SEO tools do you have?” to confirm it is live. The full tour of tools and workflows is in the ContextBolt SEO guide.

Common questions.

Which ChatGPT plans can add ContextBolt SEO?

Do I need a Business plan, or does Plus work?

Custom MCP app availability and tool permissions depend on your current ChatGPT plan and workspace settings. Use Developer mode if required by your account, or ask your workspace admin to enable custom apps. Do not assume directory access means custom apps are enabled. Some tools store research, update the dashboard or connect services, so we do not describe the entire SEO toolset as read-only.

How many credits does a question cost?

Research tools cost one credit each. Backlink tools cost three each. The plan includes 1,000 a month, top-ups never expire, and checking your balance is free.

ChatGPT isn't showing the tools. What do I check?

Make sure the connector is toggled on in the chat's tools menu. If the tool list looks stale after an update, open Settings, Connectors, click into ContextBolt SEO, and choose Refresh. Re-check that the URL is pasted in full with no trailing space.

Is my MCP URL safe to paste in?

The shared https://seo.contextbolt.app/mcp URL is public. Choose OAuth and sign in on ContextBolt to connect your account. A personal token URL from an older setup is different: keep that one secret.
