Website audits and SEO fixes inside Cursor

Setup

1. 1

   Install the squirrelscan CLI

   Run it in Cursor's built-in terminal. Local audits are free and need no account.

   bash

   curl -fsSL https://install.squirrelscan.com | sh

2. 2

   Ask the agent to audit a URL

   The llm format is compact and structured, so the agent can parse it straight out of the terminal without you summarizing anything.

   bash

   squirrel audit https://example.com --format llm

3. 3

   Or install the audit-website skill for a slash command

   Cursor supports Claude Code skills natively, so this drops in a /audit-website command you can run from the chat or composer.

   bash

   npx skills install squirrelscan/skills

4. 4

   For cloud audits, add the hosted MCP server

   Create .cursor/mcp.json in your project (or ~/.cursor/mcp.json to make it available everywhere), then open Settings, find squirrelscan under Tools & Integrations, and click Needs login to authorize.
