About this Server

The official OpenSEO Model Context Protocol server connecting AI assistants to comprehensive SEO datasets. Enables agents to conduct first-pass keyword research with search volume, difficulty, and CPC, execute competitor teardowns, run striking-distance sweeps from connected Search Console properties, inspect live Google SERPs, audit URLs for indexing and canonical signals, and cluster saved keywords into actionable content plans.

Real-time Interaction

Direct low-latency RPC protocol communication with structured JSON schemas.

Scoped Sandboxing

Restricted capability bounds to prevent accidental modifications or leakage.

Security & Best Practices

Scoped Project Keys: Authentication uses scoped OpenSEO API tokens that isolate project access and prevent unauthorized domain scans.
Read-Only GSC Operations: Search Console integration reads performance signals and index coverage without modifying verification or site settings.
Zero PII Retention: Keyword research queries and competitor lookups are processed in ephemeral server memory and not retained or shared.
Secure Transmission: All communication between your AI agent and the OpenSEO MCP endpoint operates over TLS 1.3 encryption.
