Connect Dataforseo to Claude, Cursor or any other MCP client and it stops being a tab you switch to. A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for the DataForSEO API, enabling modular and extensible integration of DataForSEO endpoints with support for both HTTP and SSE transports. The dataforseo mcp server is what makes that connection.
Model Context Protocol (MCP) server implementation for DataForSEO, enabling AI assistants to interact with selected DataForSEO APIs and obtain SEO data through a standardized interface.
The toolset is worth reading before you wire it up, because it tells you what the integration is really for:
Configuration — The worker uses the same environment variables as the standard server:Installation goes through your MCP client rather than a global install: point it at dataforseo-mcp-server on npm and it is fetched when the client starts. The copy-paste blocks for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are further down this page.
Configuration is passed through the environment: ENABLED_MODULES, ENABLED_PROMPTS, DATAFORSEO_USERNAME, DATAFORSEO_PASSWORD, DATAFORSEO_FULL_RESPONSE, DATAFORSEO_SIMPLE_FILTER. Treat anything key-shaped as a real credential — scope it to the minimum the server needs, and rotate it if it ever lands in a shared config.
This sits in the search and retrieval group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. Dataforseo's toolset — Configuration — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by GitHub Actions; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
