Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Live SEO data: Google/Bing SERP, AI Overview sources, keyword difficulty, backlinks, page audits.

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

  • Connection: Runs in the cloud
  • Transport: Streamable HTTP
  • Category: Marketing & social media
  • You need to fill in: Authorization

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

Values marked secret are keys to your account. Never share them or paste them into a chat.

Which app do you use?

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

This address needs a key in a request header, which the add-connector menu cannot set. Use Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code instead.

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add --transport http seo https://api.callaiapi.com/mcp --header 'Authorization: your-value'

Fill in the empty values before running it.

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Common questions

Is CallAI SEO safe?

It passed 2 of 3 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

You need to fill in: Authorization

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.0.0) reached the registry 3 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

In the same category: MCP YouTube Transcript, Google Analytics MCP, BibiGPT YouTube Video Summarizer

CallAI — live SEO data for AI agents

中文说明

CallAI gives your AI agent real search data instead of guesses: live Google and Bing results (including the Google AI Overview and the sites it cites), keyword volume and difficulty, long-tail ideas, competitor keyword gaps, domain traffic, backlinks and on-page audits.

It works two ways:

  • DeepSeek Harness (dsh) plugin — this npm package, @callaiapi/seo. Installs the tools plus a callai-seo skill that teaches the agent how to do keyword research, competitor analysis, GEO checks and audits.
  • Remote MCP server — https://api.callaiapi.com/mcp, for Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Cline, Windsurf and any other MCP client. Nothing to install.

Data comes from DataForSEO. Paid tools bill your CallAI balance per call: top up from $1, no subscription, balance never expires. Every result states what that call cost. Seven free tools need only an API key. Anyone can list the tools without a key.


Contents

  • 1. Get an API key
  • 2. Install in DeepSeek Harness
  • 3. Use it in other MCP clients
  • 4. What to ask
  • 5. Tools reference
  • 6. Markets: location and language codes
  • 7. Pricing and cost control
  • 8. Troubleshooting
  • 9. FAQ

1. Get an API key

  1. Sign up at https://callaiapi.com/register.
  2. Top up any amount from $1 (cards, Apple Pay / Google Pay, or USDT on several chains).
  3. Create a key under API Keys: https://callaiapi.com/portal?tab=keys. It looks like sk-live-…. You can set a spend limit per key.

2. Install in DeepSeek Harness

Requires dsh 0.2.0 or later.

dsh plugin --profile web add @callaiapi/seo

Use your own profile name instead of web if you run another one (ls ~/.dsh/profiles). You can also install @callaiapi/seo from a plugin shop such as dsh-plugin-shop. Restart dsh afterwards — a newly added plugin is not loaded into a running process.

Give the plugin your key

The plugin looks for the key in this order and uses the first one it finds:

WhereHow
Plugin setting apiKeyIn the profile's cordis.patch.yml (below), or in the plugin's settings page if your dsh build shows one
dsh credential CALLAI_API_KEYSaved through dsh's credential settings, or in ~/.dsh/.credentials.yaml under refs, or in ~/.dsh/.env (profiles with the credentials service, such as web)
Environment variable CALLAI_API_KEYCALLAI_API_KEY=sk-live-… dsh web — works in every profile, including headless

Profile patch, in ~/.dsh/profiles/ /cordis.patch.yml:

- id: callai-seo

config: apiKey: sk-live-your-key

.env file, in ~/.dsh/.env:

CALLAI_API_KEY=sk-live-your-key

Saving the credential through dsh reconnects automatically; changes to the patch file, .env or the environment take effect after a dsh restart.

Check it works

Start a session and ask *"Which mcp__callai tools do you have?"* — the agent should list 20 tools, and *"Audit https://example.com"* should come back with real data and a billed_usd line.

Plugin settings
SettingDefaultMeaning
apiKeyemptyYour CallAI key. Empty means: use the CALLAI_API_KEY credential or environment variable

toolCallTimeoutMs120000Per-call timeout; deep SERP and backlink calls can take up to a minute
Uninstall
dsh plugin --profile web remove @callaiapi/seo

3. Use it in other MCP clients

SettingValue
TransportStreamable HTTP
URLhttps://api.callaiapi.com/mcp
HeaderAuthorization: Bearer sk-live-your-key

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http callai https://api.callaiapi.com/mcp \

--header "Authorization: Bearer sk-live-your-key"

Cursor — .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

{

"mcpServers": { "callai": { "url": "https://api.callaiapi.com/mcp", "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer sk-live-your-key" } } } }

VS Code (Copilot agent mode) — .vscode/mcp.json:

{

"inputs": [ { "type": "promptString", "id": "callai-key", "description": "CallAI API key", "password": true } ], "servers": { "callai": { "type": "http", "url": "https://api.callaiapi.com/mcp", "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer ${input:callai-key}" } } } }

Windsurf, Cline and other clients — add a remote / Streamable HTTP server with the URL and header above. Clients that only support local (stdio) servers can bridge with mcp-remote:

{

"mcpServers": { "callai": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://api.callaiapi.com/mcp", "--header", "Authorization:${AUTH_HEADER}"], "env": { "AUTH_HEADER": "Bearer sk-live-your-key" } } } }

4. What to ask

You don't call tools yourself — describe the job and the agent picks the tools. Examples:

  • *"Find long-tail keywords about standing desks for the UK with difficulty under 30, then check who ranks for the top three."*
  • *"Compare my site example.com with competitor.com: traffic, the keywords they rank for that I don't, and backlink strength."*
  • *"Does Google show an AI Overview for 'best crm for startups'? Which sites does it cite, and is mine one of them?"*
  • *"Audit https://example.com/pricing and give me a fix list."*
  • *"I'm about to buy the expired domain old-brand.com. Check its backlinks and spam score."*
  • *"Get search volume and CPC for these 40 keywords in Germany, German language: …"*

5. Tools reference

In dsh the tools appear as mcp__callai__ ; other clients show . Every result is JSON with billed_usd (what the call cost) and result. Parameters marked * are required. Every tool except the backlink and audit tools also accepts location_code and language_code (section 6).

ToolParametersReturns

These need an API key but no balance, within a daily allowance of 200 units per account. keyword_suggestions counts 1 unit in seed mode, 3 in questions and 5 in az; the others count 1.

ToolParametersReturns

Domains can be given as example.com, www.example.com or a full URL.

6. Markets: location and language codes

Default market: United States (location_code 2840), English (language_code en). Tell the agent the market in plain words ("for Germany, in German") and it sets the codes.

Marketlocation_codeTypical language_code

India2356en / hi

Full list: DataForSEO locations.

7. Pricing and cost control

Calls are billed at the DataForSEO cost plus CallAI's margin; the exact amount is in each result's billed_usd and in your console call log. Typical costs:

CallApprox. cost
google_serp / bing_serp, 10 results$0.0024
keyword_overview, 10 keywords$0.013
keyword_ideas / ranked_keywords / keyword_gap, 50 rows$0.018
domain_overview$0.015
backlinks_summary$0.029
referring_domains, 50 rowsabout $0.03
page_audit$0.0002

A full keyword research session (ideas → metrics → SERP checks for five keywords) usually costs well under $0.10.

To keep spend predictable:

  • Set a spend limit on the key in the console; calls stop when it is reached.
  • The bundled skill tells the agent to batch keywords, start with small limits, and say before a run that would cost more than about $0.50.
  • When the balance runs out, tools return *"Insufficient CallAI balance"* with the top-up link; nothing is charged for refused calls.

8. Troubleshooting

ProblemFix
No mcp__callai__ tools in dshRestart dsh after installing. Check the key is set (section 2); without a key the plugin logs [callai-seo] No API key and adds no tools
401 / "Invalid or inactive API key"Use the full key including sk-live-; check it is active in the console
