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>
# or
https://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.

On the Apify free plan

The free plan includes a one-time trial allowance so you can connect the server and check it works. These tools run on the free plan at their default settings:

dataforseo_serp_search
dataforseo_keyword_ideas (up to "limit": 300 per call)
dataforseo_ranked_keywords (up to "limit": 300 per call)
dataforseo_backlinks_summary

dataforseo_keyword_volume is not available on the free plan — it works on any paid Apify plan. On the free plan, dataforseo_keyword_ideas returns keyword ideas for a seed keyword together with their search volume.

If a call is not allowed, the tool returns an error that says which tool it was and what to do instead, so your AI agent can pass it on. You are never charged for a call that was not run.

Notes

The server starts on demand (Standby mode) and proxies requests to the MCP transport.
The dataforseo_backlinks_summary tool automatically falls back to a hosted backlinks service if the underlying backlinks subscription is not active.
