Setup (3 steps)

1. Install & log in

With npm:

npm install -g searchatlas-mcp-server
searchatlas login

With yarn:

yarn global add searchatlas-mcp-server
searchatlas login

With pnpm:

pnpm add -g searchatlas-mcp-server
searchatlas login

Without installing (npx):

npx searchatlas-mcp-server login

This opens your browser. After logging in:

1. Press F12 (or Cmd+Option+I on Mac) to open DevTools
2. Go to Console tab
3. Run: localStorage.getItem("token")
4. Copy the result and paste it into the terminal

The CLI validates your token, saves it, and prints ready-to-paste configs with your paths auto-detected.

2. Add to your MCP client

Claude Code

macOS / Linux:

claude mcp add searchatlas -e SEARCHATLAS_TOKEN=your-token -- npx -y searchatlas-mcp-server

Windows (PowerShell):

claude mcp add searchatlas -e SEARCHATLAS_TOKEN=your-token -- npx.cmd -y searchatlas-mcp-server

Windows note: You must use npx.cmd instead of npx. This is because Claude Code spawns processes directly and Windows requires the .cmd extension.

Done. That's it.

Cursor

Create .cursor/mcp.json in your project root (or ~/.cursor/mcp.json for global):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "searchatlas": {
      "command": "/opt/homebrew/bin/node",
      "args": ["/opt/homebrew/lib/node_modules/searchatlas-mcp-server/dist/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "SEARCHATLAS_TOKEN": "your-token"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your paths may differ. Run which node and npm root -g to find them, or just copy the config that searchatlas login printed — it has your exact paths.

Claude Desktop

Add to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "searchatlas": {
      "command": "/opt/homebrew/bin/node",
      "args": ["/opt/homebrew/lib/node_modules/searchatlas-mcp-server/dist/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "SEARCHATLAS_TOKEN": "your-token"
      }
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop after saving.

Add to ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "searchatlas": {
      "command": "/opt/homebrew/bin/node",
      "args": ["/opt/homebrew/lib/node_modules/searchatlas-mcp-server/dist/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "SEARCHATLAS_TOKEN": "your-token"
      }
    }
  }
}

Add to .vscode/mcp.json in your project:

{
  "servers": {
    "searchatlas": {
      "command": "/opt/homebrew/bin/node",
      "args": ["/opt/homebrew/lib/node_modules/searchatlas-mcp-server/dist/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "SEARCHATLAS_TOKEN": "your-token"
      }
    }
  }
}

Add to Zed settings.json:

{
  "context_servers": {
    "searchatlas": {
      "command": {
        "path": "/opt/homebrew/bin/node",
        "args": ["/opt/homebrew/lib/node_modules/searchatlas-mcp-server/dist/index.js"],
        "env": {
          "SEARCHATLAS_TOKEN": "your-token"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

3. Verify

searchatlas check

  SearchAtlas MCP Server — Health Check

  ✓ Credential source: ~/.searchatlasrc
  ✓ Config loaded successfully
  ✓ JWT structure valid (expires in 12 days) — user 42
  ✓ API reachable and authenticated

  All checks passed — you're ready to go!

Why full paths?

macOS GUI apps (Cursor, Claude Desktop, VS Code, Windsurf, Zed) don't inherit your shell's PATH, so they can't find node or npx. Using the full path to node and pointing it directly at the installed package avoids spawn npx ENOENT and env: node: No such file errors entirely.

searchatlas login detects your paths automatically and prints configs you can copy-paste.

Usage

Just talk naturally. The AI picks the right tool:

"What are the top SEO issues for my site?"
"Run a technical SEO audit on example.com"
"Write a blog post about technical SEO best practices"
"Find long-tail keywords for project management software"
"List my projects"
"Show available playbooks and run one"

---

All commands also work via npx searchatlas-mcp-server <command>.
