DataForSEO: Live SEO Data (Extension)
Live search data via the DataForSEO MCP server. Provides real-time SERP results, keyword metrics, backlink profiles, on-page analysis, content analysis, business listings, AI visibility checking, and LLM mention tracking across 9 API modules with 79 MCP tools.
When to Use
- Use when the user needs live SEO data instead of static best-practice guidance.
- Use for SERP lookups, keyword volumes, backlink checks, competitor data, or AI visibility tracking.
- Use only when the DataForSEO extension is available in the environment.
Prerequisites
This skill requires the DataForSEO extension to be installed:
./extensions/dataforseo/install.sh
Check availability: Before using any DataForSEO tool, verify the MCP server
is connected by checking if serp_organic_live_advanced or any DataForSEO tool
is available. If tools are not available, inform the user the extension is not
installed and provide install instructions.
API Credit Awareness
DataForSEO charges per API call. Be efficient:
- Prefer bulk endpoints over multiple single calls
- Use default parameters (US, English) unless user specifies otherwise
- Cache results mentally within a session; don't re-fetch the same data
- Warn user before running expensive operations (full backlink crawls, large keyword lists)
