What is the Xiaoflow MCP server?

Official MCP server for XiaoFlow AI SEO and keyword intelligence tools. Exposed over MCP by the xiaoflow mcp server, that capability becomes something an assistant can invoke while it works, not something you go and do afterwards.

Adding it to your client

Being a remote server, there is no local install. You register the endpoint with your client, authorise it once, and the tools appear.

Its toolset

Everything the assistant can do here goes through one of these:

  • get_keyword_metrics — Exact metrics and monthly history for one keyword
  • get_related_keywords — Related keywords with metrics/history and unlimited pagination
  • bulk_keyword_metrics — Exact metrics/history for up to 1,000 keywords
  • start_keyword_expansion — Start round-based expansion from one or more seeds
  • get_keyword_expansion_status — Poll an expansion task and retrieve results
  • analyze_url — Analyze page or domain search visibility
  • get_domain_stats — Overview search metrics & traffic trends for a domain
  • list_domain_keywords — Retrieve paginated list of domain keywords
  • get_keyword_details — Retrieve keyword metrics for a 12, 24, or 48 month window
  • discover_keywords — Backward-compatible related keyword discovery
  • bulk_keyword_lookup — Backward-compatible bulk metrics lookup

Configuration

You will need 2 environment variables: XIAOFLOW_API_KEY, YOUR_API_KEY. The server will not start without them, which is usually why the tools fail to appear on a first run. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than in a file you might commit.

Caveats

  • Your data travels to the provider's service, so the usual questions apply about what you send and what they retain.
  • With 11 tools registered it takes up a noticeable share of the context window; turn it off in projects that never touch Xiaoflow.
  • Missing credentials fail quietly in some clients — if no tools show up, check the environment block first.
  • MCP clients confirm each tool call by default. Leave that on until you have watched what the xiaoflow mcp server does with a few real requests.

When to reach for it

This sits in the planning and project tracking group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. Xiaoflow's toolset — get_keyword_metrics, get_related_keywords, bulk_keyword_metrics and 8 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by xiaoq1024; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

We check each listing at SyncDev against the project's documentation before it goes live — if something here drifts out of date, it is a bug worth reporting.
