SE Ranking SEO Data API MCP Server
Official SE Ranking MCP server with 100+ tools for keyword research, rank tracking, backlink analysis, competitor intelligence, and website audits via SE Ranking's Data and Project APIs.
Installation
docker build -t se-ranking/seo-data-api-mcp-server . && docker run se-ranking/seo-data-api-mcp-server About this Tool
The official SE Ranking MCP server, built and maintained by the SE Ranking team, exposes 100+ tools across two API surfaces: the SE Ranking Data API (keyword research, competitive analysis, backlink discovery and monitoring, domain traffic and ranking intelligence, website audits, AI search visibility tracking) and the SE Ranking Project API (project administration, rank tracking campaigns, backlink oversight, marketing plan management). Supports both Docker and Node.js deployment. SE Ranking is a mid-market SEO platform with competitive pricing compared to Ahrefs and SEMrush, making this MCP a strong option for marketing teams that already have SE Ranking subscriptions. Includes 96+ commits of development from the vendor.
Use Case Examples
- Pull keyword difficulty and search volume for a target keyword list before writing a content calendar
- Analyze competitor backlink profiles to identify link-building opportunities
- Run a website audit and surface critical SEO issues grouped by priority
- Track rank position changes for a campaign keyword set week-over-week
- Identify top-ranking pages for competitor domains to inform content strategy
MarketCore Editorial Review
MarketCore Editorial Review
SE Ranking is the most marketing-complete SEO platform MCP in the catalog for teams on the SE Ranking platform. The 100+ tool surface covers the full SEO workflow from keyword research through backlink monitoring and rank tracking — breadth that rivals much larger tool MCP servers. The vendor-maintained status is a significant trust signal: this is unlikely to go unmaintained as long as SE Ranking is a going concern. The main constraint is that it only provides value if you already pay for SE Ranking — the API tokens are tied to a subscription. For teams evaluating tools: SE Ranking's pricing is materially lower than Ahrefs or SEMrush, which makes this an attractive option for budget-conscious marketing teams that want AI-native SEO tooling.

Limitations
