Install the PandaCrawl plugin for Codex

Add PandaCrawl MCP and Agent Skills to Codex with one marketplace and one install command.

The PandaCrawl plugin bundles PandaCrawl MCP and all nine SEO Agent Skills into one install. This is the preferred way to set up PandaCrawl in Codex CLI.

Install

Run these commands in your terminal:

codex plugin marketplace add every-app/open-seo
codex plugin add pandacrawl@pandacrawl
codex mcp login pandacrawl

codex mcp login opens a browser to approve the PandaCrawl connection. If it reports that pandacrawl isn't found, restart Codex first — bundled MCP servers only register after a restart, not immediately after install — then run codex mcp login pandacrawl again.

Codex connects PandaCrawl MCP at https://app.pandacrawl.app/mcp and enables nine skills:

  • SEO Project Setup
  • SEO Coach
  • SEO Audit
  • Keyword Research
  • Keyword Clustering
  • Competitive Landscape
  • Competitor Analysis
  • Local SEO
  • Link Prospecting

Run a skill

Type $ in Codex to see available skills, or ask Codex to run one by name, for example "run seo-project-setup" or "run seo-audit on example.com".

Update or remove

codex plugin marketplace upgrade pandacrawl
codex plugin remove pandacrawl@pandacrawl

Troubleshooting

If the PandaCrawl MCP server doesn't appear after restart, run /mcp in the Codex TUI to check its status, then run codex mcp login pandacrawl again.

If it still doesn't authenticate, log out first and retry:

codex mcp logout pandacrawl
codex mcp login pandacrawl

If a codex plugin command reports "unrecognized subcommand," run codex plugin --help to see the subcommands your installed version actually supports — they've changed across versions (for example, add/remove, not install/uninstall).
