Available tools 16

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

lookup

lookup_backlinks

Referring domains, backlink totals, and domain rank. Spends 3 lookup credits unless the result is already cached. Tell the user the cost and wait for a yes. spamScore is not a reason to disavow a list of URLs.

lookup_domain

Organic keywords, estimated traffic, and top ranking URLs for a domain. Spends 4 lookup credits unless the result is already cached. Tell the user the cost and wait for a yes. countryCode defaults to US.

lookup_keywords

Keyword ideas from one seed: volume, difficulty, and intent. Spends 6 lookup credits unless the result is already cached. Tell the user the cost and wait for a yes. This is not research_keywords.

competitor

get_competitor_overview

Competitors and how many tracked keywords each one outranks the user on. Uses saved competitor data only and never starts a paid lookup. keywordsAhead is null until that competitor has been checked.

keyword

get_keyword_action_plan

Deep context for one tracked keyword: ranking URL, history, SERP features, competitors, and a checklist. Use after a briefing when an agent can edit the page. Confirm with the user before changing the site.

keywords

check_keywords

Volume, difficulty, and intent for keywords the user names. Spends 2 lookup credits. Tell the user the cost and wait for a yes. At most 20 keywords per call.

opportunities

find_opportunities

Use for best opportunities across quick wins, research ideas, competitor gaps, rank drops, and AI Overview citation gaps. Filter with kinds when the user names one of those.

projects

list_projects

List the user's BudgetSEO projects, keyword counts, whether a project is paused by the plan, and how many keyword slots remain.

quick

find_quick_wins

Use when the user asks for low-hanging fruit, quick wins, or striking-distance keywords. Each result includes the estimated monthly clicks gained by moving up.

rank

get_rank_changes

Winners and losers over a recent window. Use for what moved, what dropped, or a weekly review. days defaults to 7.

recommendation

update_recommendation

Mark a briefing action done, dismissed, or snoozed. Call this after the user finishes or rejects an action so later briefings skip it. snoozeUntil is YYYY-MM-DD.

research

research_keywords

Find new keyword ideas for one project. This spends AI research usage and is available on Starter and Pro. Confirm with the user first. The project needs an audience set in the SEO Agent.

seo

get_seo_briefing

Use this first when the user asks what to do with SEO today, what changed, or what to focus on. Returns the top actions, recent rank moves, plan limits, and the next automatic check.

track

track_keywords

Add keywords to a project. Does not spend lookup credits; it uses the plan keyword slots. Confirm the keywords with the user first. countryCode defaults to the project market.

untrack

untrack_keyword

Remove one tracked keyword and its history. This cannot be undone. Confirm with the user before calling it.

visibility

get_ai_visibility

Latest AI search snapshot and keywords where an AI Overview shows but does not cite the user. Pass projectId when the user has more than one project.

budgetSEO — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can budgetSEO do?

It exposes 16 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: check_keywords, find_opportunities, find_quick_wins, get_ai_visibility, get_competitor_overview, get_keyword_action_plan and 10 more. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →

Is budgetSEO working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 0 of 92 checks got a reply (0.0%), average response time 77 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

The registry lists budgetSEO as active — why does it not respond?

The official MCP registry stores what the author submitted; it does not verify that the server still runs. We check the endpoint ourselves, and this one does not answer. Catalogues that copy the registry without checking will show it as working.

How do I connect budgetSEO?

Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.

Does budgetSEO need an API key?

No. budgetSEO completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 16 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
