DataForSEO MCP for Codex
Ask Codex about your DataForSEO data in plain words. Add one server, sign in with Google, and it reads your own numbers on each request.
Get started free- 1
Add the server, then sign in. The CLI, IDE extension and desktop app share this config:
codex mcp add seoskill --url https://seoskill.dev/mcp codex mcp login seoskill - 2
Check it with /mcp in Codex, or codex mcp list.
- 3
Save your DataForSEO login and password under Keys on your account page at seoskill.dev/account. It works in every client you connect.
- 4
Or send the key as a header from ~/.codex/config.toml, so nothing is saved on your account. Each header takes its value from the environment variable named here:
[mcp_servers.seoskill] url = "https://seoskill.dev/mcp" env_http_headers = { "X-DataForSEO-Login" = "DATAFORSEO_LOGIN", "X-DataForSEO-Password" = "DATAFORSEO_PASSWORD" }
codex mcp login opens the Google sign-in in your browser. Codex keeps the token for later sessions.
