Write Article
Requires the Seobase MCP connected — this skill has no free-tier fallback. It is the one thing no audit-only marketing MCP (Cogny included) can do: turn a keyword into a published article without leaving the terminal.
Usage
/write-article "best project management software for remote teams"
Steps
1. Confirm the topic is worth writing
If the input is a raw idea rather than a validated keyword, call
mcp__seobase__keywords_research with the product's website to get search volume,
difficulty, and related terms. Pick the strongest candidate — don't skip this for a
topic that turns out to have near-zero search volume.
2. Start generation
Call mcp__seobase__content_generate_article with either { "topic": "<the keyword>" }
or, if step 1 returned a keywordId, { "keywordId": "<id>" }. This enqueues onto the
same BullMQ pipeline the Seobase app itself uses — the article gets researched, drafted,
optimized (schema markup, internal links, humanization pass), and queued for whatever
CMS integration is configured, exactly as if a human had clicked "Generate" in the app.
Report the returned article id to the user immediately — generation runs in the background and can take several minutes.
3. Poll for completion
Call mcp__seobase__content_generation_status with the article id every 20–30 seconds
(don't hammer it faster) until status is published, failed, or you've checked
enough times to conclude something's stuck (past ~10 minutes, say so rather than
polling forever).
4. Report the result
Article: <title>
Status: published
URL: <published url, if available>
Word count: N
If it failed, surface the actual error from the status response — don't guess at why.
5. Optional: check how it performs later
A day or more after publish, mcp__seobase__gsc_search_analytics shows whether it's
being indexed and picking up impressions. Don't call this immediately after
publishing — indexing takes time, and an empty result right after publish is expected,
not a failure signal.
