Installation

Set up this MCP server in your favorite AI agent — copy a ready-made configuration below.

Any MCP-compatible agent

Most agents (Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code, and more) read a standard mcpServers configuration.

  1. Open your agent's MCP configuration file.
  2. Merge the snippet below into it.
  3. Restart the agent — the "SE Ranking MCP Server" tools will be available.

Description

SE Ranking is a long-running SEO platform — keyword databases, a backlink index, rank tracking and site audits — and this is its official remote MCP server, exposing that dataset to agents rather than to a dashboard. The company counts more than 160 tools across keyword research, backlink analysis, domain analysis, website audits, SERP analysis, rank tracking and project management.

The newest part is AI-search visibility: tools that report how a brand or domain surfaces inside AI assistants and AI Overviews, which is the measurement problem every SEO team acquired in the last two years and which no classic rank tracker answers. Alongside it sit the conventional workloads — pull a keyword's volume, difficulty and SERP; diff a competitor's organic footprint; check what links to a page and what changed; run an audit and read the issues back — the difference being that an agent can chain them and write the brief, rather than a human exporting five CSVs.

It is a hosted server at https://api.seranking.com/mcp, so there is nothing to install. Authentication works two ways: OAuth 2.1 with dynamic client registration, which is a browser login and the simpler path for desktop clients, or a UUID API key sent as an X-Api-Key header for headless use. SE Ranking lists Claude (web, Desktop and Code), Cursor, VS Code, Codex, Windsurf, Zed, Gemini CLI and v0 among supported clients.

What to check before wiring it into a workflow: you need an SE Ranking account with API access enabled, calls draw on the same API credit pool as the rest of the platform and are rate-limited accordingly, and at the time of writing sub-account API keys are not yet available — a sub-account has to use master credentials.
