DataForSEO MCP
A thin wrapper around DataForSEO's official MCP server that adds a searchable docs index and normalized errors. If you only need the raw API, install dataforseo-mcp-server directly.
<!-- mcp-name: io.scalably/dataforseo-mcp -->
Install
Claude Code:
claude mcp add dataforseo -e DATAFORSEO_USERNAME=your-login -e DATAFORSEO_PASSWORD=your-password -- npx -y @scalably-io/dataforseo-mcpCodex:
codex mcp add dataforseo --env DATAFORSEO_USERNAME=your-login --env DATAFORSEO_PASSWORD=your-password -- npx -y @scalably-io/dataforseo-mcpClaude Desktop: this wrapper ships on npm only (its upstream dependency makes a desktop bundle over 100 MB). Install DataForSEO's own server from https://github.com/dataforseo/mcp-server-typescript instead; the docs-search tools are the only thing you lose.
Setup
- Create or open a DataForSEO account at dataforseo.com.
- Read the API login (an email address) and API password from the dashboard.
- apirequest calls the live DataForSEO API and can incur cost per DataForSEO's own pricing; the three docs tools are free documentation lookups.
Tools (4)
Use docslistsections or docsindex to pick an API family, then docssearch for the exact current endpoint path, method, request body and pricing before calling api_request.
Configuration
Reply shape
Every tool returns plain JSON with status (succeeded, partial, noop), operation, summary, target, result, proof, warnings, recovery. Failures surface as a tool error whose text is : . apirequest normalizes DataForSEO's per-task status codes (pending tasks, no-result tasks, partial failures, and vendor error codes) into that shape instead of returning DataForSEO's raw task envelope unexamined.
Limits
apirequest is a real, billable call to the DataForSEO API; DataForSEO's own account balance and rate limits apply. A failed call to a paid endpoint is reported with an ambiguouspaid_request error when the outcome could not be confirmed, since retrying blind could double the charge.
Verify
Each release lists the package version and the production commit it was derived from in CHANGELOG.md; npm publishes with provenance from GitHub Actions. CI runs the tests and a clean install of the packed tarball on every push.
