DataForSEO MCP Server
A remote Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, running on Apify in Standby mode, that exposes DataForSEO SEO data endpoints as tools your AI agents and Claude can call directly over HTTP. No local install, no DataForSEO account to wire up — just connect your MCP client to the server URL.
Tools
| Tool | What it does | Key arguments |
|---|---|---|
dataforseo_serp_search | Live Google organic SERP results for a keyword | keyword, location_code?, language_code? |
dataforseo_keyword_volume | Google Ads monthly search volume for keywords | keywords[], location_code? |
dataforseo_keyword_ideas | Related keyword suggestions for a seed keyword | keyword, limit? |
dataforseo_ranked_keywords | Keywords a domain/URL currently ranks for | target, limit? |
dataforseo_backlinks_summary | Backlinks summary for a domain/URL | target |
Each tool returns the DataForSEO result payload as JSON text content.
Connecting
The server speaks Streamable HTTP MCP transport at the /mcp endpoint of the Actor's Standby URL:
https://santhej--dataforseo-mcp-server.apify.actor/mcp
Authenticate with your Apify API token, either as a header or query param:
Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN># orhttps://santhej--dataforseo-mcp-server.apify.actor/mcp?token=<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>
Claude Desktop / MCP client config example
{"mcpServers": {"dataforseo": {"url": "https://santhej--dataforseo-mcp-server.apify.actor/mcp?token=YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN"}}}
Point any Streamable-HTTP-capable MCP client at that URL and the five tools above become available to your agent.
Notes
- The server starts on demand (Standby mode) and proxies requests to the MCP transport.
- The
dataforseo_backlinks_summarytool automatically falls back to a hosted backlinks service if the underlying backlinks subscription is not active.
