Seo Dataforseo

This hooks Claude directly into DataForSEO's live API across 79 tools and 10 modules, from organic SERPs to YouTube analytics to AI visibility tracking. The standout feature is built-in cost control: it checks and logs API spend before every call, blocking requests that would blow your daily budget. You get real-time keyword volume, backlink profiles, competitor overlap, on-page Lighthouse scores, and even LLM mention tracking for generative engine optimization. The YouTube deep analysis is notable since video mentions correlate strongest with AI citations. Fair warning, this requires the DataForSEO extension installed and an active API account, and filtered image searches cost 5x normal rate.

DataForSEO: Live SEO Data (Extension)

Live search data via the DataForSEO MCP server. Provides real-time SERP results (organic + images), 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.

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)
