MCP.Pizza Chef: dataforseo

Your assistant pulls live search rankings from Google, Bing and Yahoo, plus keyword search volumes, cost-per-click figures, backlink profiles, on-site crawl reports and business listings, straight from DataForSEO's databases. Setup means dropping one small block into Claude Desktop or a similar app. It is research only: nothing here edits your website or publishes anything. A paid DataForSEO account is required, and every request draws down your prepaid balance, so set a budget before you turn an assistant loose on it.

mcp-server-typescript FAQ

Do I need a paid account?
Yes. You need a DataForSEO login and password, and every request spends money from a prepaid balance, so this one is not free.
Which apps does it work in?
Any app that supports MCP, including Claude Desktop. The project also documents a simplified mode for ChatGPT, which struggles with the more complex filters.
Can I use this to pick keywords for a blog post?
Yes — ask for search volume and click cost on any phrase and it comes back with figures for the country you name.
Can it change anything on my website?
No. Everything it returns is read-only research; acting on what it finds is still up to you.
How hard is setup?
Moderate. You paste a short block into your app's settings file and add your DataForSEO username and password alongside it.
Is it still maintained?
Yes. DataForSEO maintain it themselves and the code was updated within the last week.
Can I limit what it is allowed to fetch?
Yes. A single setting lets you switch whole areas on or off, so you can enable search results only and leave backlinks and crawling turned off.
