How to Automate Content Brief Creation with MCP (2026)

Why Automate Content Brief Creation?

Content Brief Creation is one of the most time-consuming recurring SEO tasks. Most teams do it manually: open a tool, navigate to the right report, export data, analyze in a spreadsheet, write up findings. An MCP-powered workflow replaces all of that with a single conversation.

When you automate content brief creation with MCP, you get:

Prerequisites

  1. An AI editor that supports MCP (Perplexity, Gemini, or similar)
  2. Delulu9 MCP server ($12/mo) for keyword and search data
  3. Optional: additional MCP servers for specialized data sources

Step-by-Step: Automated Content Brief Creation

1. Set Up Your MCP Servers

Add Delulu9 to your editor configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "delulu9": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@delulu9/seo-mcp-server@latest"],
      "env": {
        "DELULU9_API_KEY": "your-api-key"
      }
    }
  }
}

2. Create Your Content Brief Creation Prompt

Here’s a prompt template for content brief creation:

Run a content brief creation for [your site/niche]:

1. Pull keyword data for [your main topics] using Delulu9
2. Analyze search intent distribution across results
3. Check difficulty scores and identify quick wins
4. Compare against [competitor domain] if relevant
5. Generate a prioritized action list with specific recommendations
6. Format as a report with data tables

3. Review and Refine

The AI will execute each step through the MCP server, pulling live data and analyzing it. Review the output, ask follow-up questions, and refine the analysis.

4. Save and Reuse

Save your refined prompt as a template. Run it weekly/monthly with updated parameters.

Sample Output

A typical automated content brief creation produces:

Content Brief Creation Across AI Platforms

Platform MCP Support Best For
Perplexity Full MCP Terminal-based workflows
Gemini Full MCP Editor-integrated workflows
ChatGPT No MCP Manual analysis only

For content brief creation, Perplexity and Gemini are the best options because they support MCP natively. You get live data access without copy-pasting.

Advanced: Chaining Content Brief Creation with Other Tasks

Combine content brief creation with related SEO tasks:

  1. Run content brief creation to identify opportunities
  2. Generate content briefs for top opportunities
  3. Create draft content based on briefs
  4. Optimize drafts for target keywords using Answer Box

This entire chain runs in a single AI conversation with MCP data access.

Can I fully automate content brief creation?
