Connect SE Ranking to your AI agents with the SE Ranking MCP server.
Updated
What is SE Ranking MCP?
The SE Ranking MCP server is a Model Context Protocol server that connects SE Ranking to AI agents and assistants as a set of tools. With it connected, an agent can work with SE Ranking (seo platform — keyword research, rank tracking, competitor & backlink analysis) directly — instead of you copying data in and out by hand.
It is a remote MCP server that uses OAuth, so you point your client at the server URL, authorize once, and the SE Ranking tools become available to the model.

Using SE Ranking MCP with Gamut

Frequently asked questions
What SE Ranking features does the MCP integration expose?
The integration provides access to SE Ranking's keyword tracking, competitor analysis, on-page auditing, and backlink monitoring capabilities, letting an agent pull ranking data, audit results, and competitive metrics programmatically.
Do I need a specific SE Ranking plan for the MCP server?
You need an SE Ranking plan that provides API access. Check your plan's feature list to confirm API availability — some entry-level plans may restrict programmatic access to certain modules.
Can the agent make changes inside my SE Ranking projects?
Capabilities depend on which tools the MCP server implements. Typically the integration supports reading project data, keyword lists, and audit results. Check the server's documentation for write operations like adding keywords or creating projects.
How does SE Ranking MCP differ from using the SE Ranking API directly?
The MCP server wraps SE Ranking's API into standardized tool calls that any MCP-compatible client can use. Your agent doesn't need custom API code — it discovers available tools automatically and calls them with structured inputs.
