DataForSEO MCP

DataForSEO sells the raw data behind many SEO tools: rankings, keyword volumes, backlinks, page audits. This official connector gives Claude all of it, so you can ask "what does our competitor rank for that we don't?" and get real numbers.

You pay per request rather than a monthly fee, which suits occasional use. Create an account, grab your login and password, and paste them into the install command.

It is the most technical server on this list; the questions you ask need to be fairly specific to get useful answers back.

• Check what a page ranks for and who ranks above it
• Get search volume and difficulty for keywords
• Pull a site's backlink profile
• Audit a page's on-page SEO and speed
• See how often a brand is mentioned in AI answers

Open your terminal in the project folder and run:

claude mcp add --env DATAFORSEO_LOGIN=YOUR_LOGIN --env DATAFORSEO_PASSWORD=YOUR_PASSWORD dataforseo -- npx -y dataforseo-mcp-server@latest

Or add this to your project's .mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "dataforseo": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "dataforseo-mcp-server@latest"],
      "env": {
        "DATAFORSEO_LOGIN": "YOUR_LOGIN",
        "DATAFORSEO_PASSWORD": "YOUR_PASSWORD"
      }
    }
  }
}

You'll be asked to sign in or paste an API key the first time you use it.
