SitemapKit MCP Server

Give AI agents a reliable XML sitemap crawler through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). The SitemapKit extraction API discovers sitemap files, parses nested sitemap indexes, and returns a deduplicated URL list for SEO audits, content inventories, research, and agent workflows.

Works with MCP-compatible clients including Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, and other AI assistants that support local stdio servers.

Tools

Tool	Description
`discover_sitemaps`	Find all sitemap files for a domain (checks robots.txt, common paths, sitemap indexes)
`extract_sitemap`	Extract all URLs from a specific sitemap file
`full_crawl`	Discover + extract all URLs across all sitemaps in one call

Continuous sitemap monitoring

This MCP server is designed for on-demand discovery and extraction. To watch a website continuously, detect newly published pages, and send signed webhook alerts, use SitemapKit Monitoring.

The free plan includes one daily monitor. Paid plans add more websites, higher URL limits, and checks as often as every hour. See the webhook documentation for payloads, signatures, and retry behavior.

API limits

Limits depend on your SitemapKit plan. The meta.quota field in each response tells you how many requests you have remaining this month.

Plan	API requests/month	URLs per extraction
Free	100	1,000
Starter	5,000	10,000
Pro	50,000	50,000

See current API and monitoring allowances on the pricing page.
