Summary
Income Stream Surfers’ latest deep-dake on Claude Code Desktop shows how to fuse managed agents (MCP) with a serverless stack ( Astro + Supabase ) to build a fully automated SEO and content workflow. The host walks through adding connectors for Superbase and Semrush, then demonstrates creating a custom MCP called Astro Docs to power a Next.js/Astro-based site. Semrush features, especially topic opportunities and competitor insights, drive keyword targeting like “SEO content writing tools.” The video emphasizes Claude’s desktop app as a centralized, all-in-one workbench where research, coding, and content generation happen in one place. You’ll see live agent sessions, prompt crafting, and iterative refinements that turn rough ideas into publish-ready content in minutes. The creator also contrasts paid Claude with free AI options, insisting that Claude Code, at about $200, delivers a dramatic speed and quality boost. Throughout, Semrush sponsorship is used to demonstrate how SEO data translates into actionable site-building steps. The result is a tangible proof-of-concept: a live project powered by managed agents that can rank in both Google and LMS environments. Finally, the host invites viewers to explore Semrush via the link in the description and pin comment to replicate the workflow.

If you guys aren't using clawed code inside the clawed desktop app, you are missing out. And I'm going to show you in this video why it's so damn effective. Let's jump into things. Firstly, this video is brought to you and sponsored by Semrush. Huge shout out to Semrush for sponsoring this video. Thank you for helping support the channel. They have an amazing feature here which I'm going to be diving into in this video for AI visibility where you can put any website right here and you can see first of all what where and how it's ranking at the moment but even better where you could be ranking if you go to topic opportunities add a few of your competitors right here and try and work out how to rank.
So this one right here, balance slow and goway property and tourism would be an absolutely massive thing to rank for for us. And I just found that in literally one minute using this tool. But before we talk about that guys, let's just jump into the video. There is a link for Semrush in the description and in the pin comment. Go and check them out guys. Go and tell them that I sent you. Let's jump into things. Now, I've been making new projects using free AI for a while now, and I'm kind of sick of it.
So, what I thought I'd do in today's video is show you guys just how amazingly my workflow has actually adapted and got to the point where I can just basically build anything in 20 minutes. So, what I'm going to do is I'm just going to go to add here and then connectors and then manage connectors. I'm just going to add a connector. Now, first of all, I do actually have a Seamrush connector, which we'll use in just a second because I'm curious to see what results it would give. But for now, what we're going to do is we're going to just browse connectors.
I'm just going to look for Superbase. And I'm just going to press plus here. And now this should connect me. Okay. So, we successfully connected to Superbase. I'm just going to go to Superbase and just say always allow here. Then I'm also going to go to Simrush and do always allow. And I'm just going to go back. So, this is one of the main reasons I really like the new desktop app from Claude. Just the fact that you can do everything in one place is absolutely amazing. So, I'm just going to do add folder here.
And I'm just going to select this folder which I just created before. No, sorry. Let's undo that. I want to actually be inside that folder. So, we are inside that folder already. So, I'm just going to try and add another MCP server here. So, let's go to connectors and then add connector. And then there should be a custom connector thing. No, sorry. It's on file settings and then connectors. And then we want to add a custom connector and call this Astro Docs. And then just give it the the link. There we go. Okay, that should be connected.
So we'll go off here. So I'm just going to say use the Astro Docs MCP plus the Superbase MCP to set up a basic project with OR, etc. Um, let's give it a stack. So Oh yeah, we'll just use Next.js. NextJS. Oh no, sorry. Astro plus Superbase. That is the stack. I just forgot. Okay. So, while that's running, guys, what I'm going to do is I'm going to do some research on Semrush for the SEO for the business that we're going to build today. I'm going to do a complete build including SEO just to show you guys how impressive this actually is.
Okay, so let's do a SEO content writer just like my tool, Harbor SEO, right? So, let's just click on AI here. I'm going to try and use AI overviews for this. Okay guys, so this is what I'm talking about right here. This is Semrush One and you can get a free trial for 14 days using the link in the description and in the pin comment. This gives you an all- in-one modern search solution which is both traditional SEO and also AIdriven SEO built into one handy subscription. Now, Seamrush has for a long time been one of the best of the best when it comes to helping businesses grow online and they are constantly adapting as you can see right here with their LLM tracking as well.
They make it super simple, super easy and you can actually very easily get your competitors keywords, what they're already ranking for in LLMs and it's a very very good tool. Now, obviously with SEO changing and being more about LLMs now, you have to know how to rank on LLMs and Semrush is one of the best ways to do that. Go and check them out, guys. They have made a really, really good tool and it's not too expensive either. If you need this tool, then Semrush is definitely the best option and choice. Thank you to Seamrush for sponsoring this video.
Let's jump back into things. So, if we're making an SEO content writer, obviously you need to have some idea of your competitors. We're going to be using Koala.sh and also just other people as well. Inside the visibility overview right here, we can see what they're currently ranking for, but even better, so they're ranking for AI blog writing. Even better is we can go on topic opportunities here. And this also will then fill in some of our competitors. I'm going to get rid of some competitors that I don't necessarily want. And then we can just have a look here and see if there's anything useful to us that we can use.
So we can then also filter by prompt right here. So I just put SEO and you can start to see some useful things like SEO content writing tools which is obviously the main one of the main keywords that we're actually trying to rank for. And then we can kind of just go through these and see what is useful. So best SEO tools in German. So they're ranking in German as well. That's good to know. Which tools are essential for an agency offering SEO and digital marketing services? So, we can use this exact keyword to rank, right?
SEO tools and digital marketing services. This is chat GPT. Here's a created list of the best uh tools and digital marketing services uh resources UK focus 2026. Beautiful. So, we press view full response here. We should actually see which one of our competitors is ranking. Yeah. So, it looks like Jasper is ranking here. uh which is pretty interesting. Yeah, this is basically just a gold mine of information for anyone that is trying to rank within LLMs. Like this is just essential information. I can see why people call this the new SEO. I've never actually used um one of these tools before except Seamrush.
So yeah, I don't know what the others are like, but Seamrush does seem really really good for this stuff. Okay, so instantly the orth works here. So we've already kind of got the project going, right? This is an Astro/Sup Superbase project and we're now going to build the entire thing and we're going to do the SEO from here. So, I'm just going to quickly look for the main kind of keyword that we're going to try and rank for. So, I think it's this one here. It's the top one, SEO content writing tools. So, we're just going to try and rank for this keyword.
So, I'm just going to say now create me an automated uh content writer that uses managed agents from Anthropic to write articles. This is the main keyword I'm trying to rank for. Uh create this first before continuing with creating the entire site slash app. I'm just going to say it should be able to scrape images, scrape uh use web search, etc. to find information. Yeah. So, basically what this does is this triggers the claude API which should include managed agents inside it. I believe it does. Managed agents, by the way, is a super interesting concept from Anthropic.
basically means running their agent ADK on a Linux computer in on their system in their cloud which means you can finally use the agent SDK or ADK in a serverless environment which is what we're building on. Superbase is of course a serverless environment. Okay, so we're a very very short way through this process and look how cool this is. This is how managed agents work, right? So, we've just created an Opus 4.7 agent. If I click here, you can see this is the prompt that it gave it. Seems like it's going to also be able to scrape.
Not sure though. We could add anything here. We can add MCPs. You can add skills. You can literally add Semrush to this if you wanted to, right? Super super Okay guys, so the other really cool thing about these managed agents is you can click sessions on the side here and you can actually watch the session run, right? You can see here this is the run that is happening right now. So it did two web searches and now it's writing the article into the slash outputs folder. Okay. So now that we have this working pretty much um we will move on to the next part which is making the actual business.
So I'm just grabbing some keywords here and just throwing them in and yeah basically just going to say make the entire business and then we're pretty much done. Literally, it's that easy, guys. When you're using good models instead of free models, the difference is night and day. I'm telling you. Okay, guys. So, yeah, basically, I got all these keywords from Semrush. There's a link for Seamrush in the description and in the pin comment. Go and check them out, guys. Go and support the channel. Um, but this is the SEO part of this. So, we're going to see in a second the final result of all of the things that we've put together.
But it's so effortless using Opus 4.7. If you have the $200, guys, go and pay for Claude Code. I've used all of the free AIS recently, all the free LLMs, all the Chinese LLMs, everything. There's no comparison. There's literally no comparison. GBC 5.5. No, no comparison. But look, it did it perfectly. Again, what a surprise. It's almost like this is the most ridiculous um tool on the planet, right? Yeah. So, it basically everything works here. Absolutely crazy. So, let's just add this website. Two men. Add and crawl. Crawl star. This page will refresh in a moment.
Beautiful. We go back to the homepage. We look at the SEO SEO content writing tools that rank, right? That's what we're trying to rank for. SEO content writing tools that actually rank. These are the main keywords that we got from Seamrush that we are trying to rank for. I would definitely improve the look and feel. I think uh Opus took a quick way out here. The orth has been implemented very very well like extremely well. Okay, there we go. So, this is done and then we just say like kiton sneakers and then generate and that should go and generate the article.
Beautiful. I'm just going to say okay this is great but like can you make it look wow incredible absolutely amazing best sass ever instead of boring a right. So, we'll give it this little prompt here. We'll see what happens. You can see the agent activity. This is really interesting stuff, guys. Um, I hope I'm showing some interesting things to you in this video. The plan is not getting like used up at all because I'm just doing everything step by step and it's really not using a lot of context. And then from here, you just keep iterating on your article writer until it's the best article writer you've got.
Right? So, we're using managed agents using superbase edge functions. Took like 5 10 minutes to set up with Astro, which means, you know, you can go crazy with the SEO as well. And just throughout this page, it's put all of the Semrush kind of keywords that we got directly from Semrush into the uh into the website, which should help us also rank on in inside LMS and also on Google. Okay guys, and this is pretty much the end result, right? This is Opus going crazy with it. It looks very Opusy, I have to say. Um, I probably wouldn't go with this personally, but just to show you guys what the kind of end result is here.
If I go on dashboard as well, the dashboard should also be updated. Beautiful. So, yeah, this, as you can see, is, you know, pretty much the entire process done. Um, I can't believe how quick it was to create this, to be honest with you. Like this quality is actually really really nice. And this isn't even using Gina. I might actually have to look at how it did this and potentially put this into harbor because this is actually really really good the way that it's done it. Now obviously there's a couple of issues here with the um with the writing, you know, the colors and things.
But generally speaking, this is an amazing job. Absolutely fantastic. It took 20 minutes to make and it should rank on Google and in LLMs thanks to Semrush. Thank you Semrush for sponsoring this video guys. Go and check out Semrush. They're an amazing company that are doing amazing things over there. There's a link in the description and in the pin comment. But with that being said, I'm going to leave the video there. I think this speaks for itself just how quick this actually was. If I did this with any other tool except potentially Codeex, it would have taken probably 5 to 6 hours to do what I just did in 10 to 15 minutes.
So honestly, the 200 bucks is worth it. I have to say personally and managed agents are absolutely amazing. Definitely go and check out managed agents. They're really, really good. And yeah, thank you so much for watching. If you are watching all the way to the end of the video, you're an absolute legend. Go and check out Semrush. And I'll see you very, very soon with some more content. Peace out.
