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.

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)
