Cline SEO tools are the seoskillsai modules you run in Cline, which reads and writes files and runs terminal commands only after you approve each action.

TLDR

  • Cline is an editor and terminal agent. Every file write and command needs your approval (Cline overview).
  • MCP servers are added in Cline’s MCP settings. The CLI config path is ~/.cline/data/settings/cline_mcp_settings.json (MCP).
  • Install the catalog with npx @seoskillsai/cli add cline --all. The config file name on this site is cline_mcp_settings.json.
  • This hub owns the catalog query. Entity-grounded copy stays on /cline/seo-content.
  • First-party GSC (10 Sep–8 Oct 2026): /cline had 23 impressions and 0 clicks while it was still a template.

Contents

What the catalog covers

The skills directory is the full list. This page is the Cline slice: audit, plan, schema, content, sitemap, technical checks, GEO, citations, and llms.txt.

Cline’s own docs describe an agent that edits files and runs commands. They do not describe a Google ranking score. Publish the HTML. A chat approval is not a landing page (helpful content).

Connect MCP, then the skill pack

From Cline’s MCP guide (configuring MCP servers):

  1. Open MCP Servers in the Cline panel.
  2. Add a local stdio server or a remote server with "type": "streamableHttp".
  3. Keep tokens in environment variables. Do not commit them.
  4. Approve the first tool call yourself. autoApprove should stay limited.
npx @seoskillsai/cli add cline --all

That writes the skill endpoints into cline_mcp_settings.json. The official CLI also has cline mcp for listing and adding servers. Use that wizard for servers you trust. Do not paste a random MCP package into the file.
