Working with Agents and Skills
Overview
transformSEO gives an agent governed evidence and safe ways to operate the product. It does not decide how every marketer should audit a site, build a content strategy, evaluate an opportunity, or write a recommendation.
Keep that marketing method in a versioned local skill. The skill decides how to do the work. MCP lets the agent read and act inside transformSEO. The application keeps source truth, permissions, metering, review state, and the finished artifact.
The three layers
| Layer | What it owns |
|---|---|
| Local skill | Research sequence, marketing method, interpretation, prioritization, and deliverable reasoning. |
| MCP | Discovering capabilities, selecting the right site, reading evidence, starting safe operations, and placing work into transformSEO. |
| transformSEO | Connected data, source and freshness state, permissions, cost controls, Workspaces, review history, export, and explicit sharing. |
A good agent session
- Select the correct team and site.
- Inspect source readiness and freshness before drawing conclusions.
- Use the appropriate local skill to choose the research sequence.
- Retrieve evidence through transformSEO tools and disclose important gaps.
- Place useful findings into a Workspace as reviewable agent-created blocks.
- Let a person keep, revise, discard, export, or share the result.
What product prompts should do
A product-owned prompt may explain how to use transformSEO correctly or how to prepare a reviewable Workspace. It should not contain a hidden SEO audit, content strategy, CRO method, or copywriting playbook. Those methods change independently and belong in skills that can be reviewed and versioned.
Connect your agent
Use the Claude and token setup guides in Data Sync & Integrations to connect an MCP-compatible client. Then browse the live MCP Tool Reference when you need exact parameters or plan availability.
Tips
- Ask the agent to cite the source and retrieval date behind material claims.
- Use stored evidence when it is current enough. Run live research when freshness changes the decision.
- Keep unreviewed agent work out of public and presentation views.
- Tool calls may consume transformSEO credits even when the agent's own token usage is billed elsewhere.
