DataForSEO MCP Server
Look up DataForSEO docs and call its SERP, keyword, backlink and audit APIs from Claude.
Officialby DataForSEOHosted or on your computerChecked October 18, 2026
DataForSEO's v3 MCP server gives Claude two kinds of tools: lookups in the DataForSEO API documentation and an authenticated request tool that can call any DataForSEO endpoint, from Google SERPs and keyword data to backlinks, on-page audits and Lighthouse. It suits people who want raw SEO data from a pay-as-you-go API rather than a fixed SEO suite, and API calls are charged to your DataForSEO balance.
Who it is for
- SEO specialists who want raw SERP and keyword data
- Agencies building custom SEO reports
- Developers prototyping SEO tools
Prompts to try
Once it is connected, ask in plain words. Claude decides when to use the server and asks before it changes anything important.

Good to know

How we checked it
Checked the dataforseo/mcp-server-typescript repo (Apache-2.0, last commit 2026-10-02, README marks it as the new v3 server) and the npm package dataforseo-mcp-server (3.1.3, published 2026-10-02); the hosted v3 endpoint answers with an OAuth challenge.
