Live SEO data via DataForSEO MCP server. SERP analysis (Google, Bing, Yahoo, YouTube, Google Images), keyword research (volume, difficulty, intent, trends), backlink profiles, on-page analysis (Lighthouse, content parsing), competitor analysis, content analysis, business listings, AI visibility (ChatGPT scraper, LLM mention tracking), and domain analytics. Requires DataForSEO extension installed. Use when user says "dataforseo", "live SERP", "keyword volume", "backlink data", "competitor data",
A connector to live SEO data through the DataForSEO MCP server, exposing real-time SERP results, keyword metrics, backlink profiles, on-page analysis, content analysis, business listings, AI visibility checks, and LLM mention tracking across ten API modules and many MCP tools. It is meant to be invoked when the user asks for live SERP data, keyword volume, backlink data, competitor data, image rankings, AI visibility, or real search data, and it requires the DataForSEO extension to be installed and the MCP server to be connected before any tool is used.
SERP coverage includes live Google organic results via serp_organic_live_advanced (which also supports Bing and Yahoo through the se parameter), Google Images, YouTube search, and deep YouTube video analysis covering info, comments, and subtitles; the doc highlights that YouTube mentions correlate most strongly with AI citations, which makes them valuable for generative engine optimization. Keyword research surfaces ideas and suggestions, search volume, difficulty scores, intent classification, and Google Trends, while domain and competitor analysis covers backlinks, ranked keywords, competitor domains, intersection overlap, bulk traffic estimation, subdomains, and top searches. On-page tooling adds Lighthouse-based analysis plus content parsing, technology stack detection, and WHOIS, and dedicated AI-visibility commands provide a ChatGPT web scraper and LLM mention tracking. Commands are exposed under a /seo dataforseo namespace with a quick-reference table, and default parameters target US English desktop (location_code 2840) unless the user specifies otherwise.
Because DataForSEO charges per call, the skill builds in cost awareness and guardrails. It instructs preferring bulk endpoints, running a cost-estimation script before each call that returns approved, needs_approval, or blocked statuses, and logging the actual cost afterward; user commands manage daily spend, a 7-day summary, and an approval mode. It warns specifically that image SERP queries using site or filetype operators incur 5x API cost.
It requires the DataForSEO extension to be installed (via ./extensions/dataforseo/install.sh) and the MCP server to be connected. Before using any tool it verifies a DataForSEO tool such as serp_organic_live_advanced is available, and otherwise tells the user the extension is not installed.
