.vscode/mcp.json

{
  "servers": {

Menu names change from time to time. If a step doesn't match what you see, check VS Code MCP documentation.

What to ask VS Code

Search Console prompts need Search Console connected in your DidYouSEO account.

“Audit https://example.com/pricing and list the top 3 fixes.”

“Which of my pages lost the most Google clicks this month?”

“Find queries where I rank 8-20 and tell me what to change.”

“Check the structured data on https://example.com and fix the errors.”

Add an HTTP server named didyouseo with the URL https://didyouseo.com/mcp to .vscode/mcp.json, click Start and sign in.

No. VS Code signs in to DidYouSEO with OAuth when you start the server.
