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

ToolWhat it doesKey arguments
dataforseo_serp_searchLive Google organic SERP results for a keywordkeyword, location_code?, language_code?
dataforseo_keyword_volumeGoogle Ads monthly search volume for keywordskeywords[], location_code?
dataforseo_keyword_ideasRelated keyword suggestions for a seed keywordkeyword, limit?
dataforseo_ranked_keywordsKeywords a domain/URL currently ranks fortarget, limit?
dataforseo_backlinks_summaryBacklinks summary for a domain/URLtarget

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.

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.
