DataForSEO MCP for VS Code

Ask VS Code 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. 1

    Open the Command Palette, run MCP: Add Server and choose HTTP. Enter the server URL and the name seoskill:

    https://seoskill.dev/mcp
  2. 2

    Or add it to .mcp.json at the root of your workspace:

    {
      "mcpServers": {
        "seoskill": { "type": "http", "url": "https://seoskill.dev/mcp" }
      }
    }
  3. 3

    Sign in with Google when VS Code opens the browser.

  4. 4

    Save your DataForSEO login and password under Keys on your account page at seoskill.dev/account. It works in every client you connect.

  5. 5

    Or send the key as a header, so nothing is saved on your account:

    {
      "mcpServers": {
        "seoskill": {
          "type": "http",
          "url": "https://seoskill.dev/mcp",
          "headers": {
            "X-DataForSEO-Login": "${DATAFORSEO_LOGIN}",
            "X-DataForSEO-Password": "${DATAFORSEO_PASSWORD}"
          }
        }
      }
    }

VS Code opens the Google sign-in the first time the server connects, then keeps the token.
