Developers using Claude Code for SEO hit the same walls: fragmented APIs, brittle integrations, and no unified tool layer.
Months of integration debt
Wiring Ahrefs, Surfer, and Apollo into a Claude Code agent means months of API keys, wrappers, and maintenance before a single keyword ships.
No production-grade SEO layer
Most SEO APIs are not designed for agentic use. You get rate-limited, undocumented endpoints with no MCP support and no durable job system.
Fire-and-forget agents break in production
LLM agent calls with no approval gates or resumable jobs fail silently when tasks run long or require human sign-off mid-workflow.
The fix
One MCP Server. Every SEO Tool Ready Now.
CitationBench's hosted MCP server at mcp.citationbench.com/mcp exposes ~35 SEO and GEO tools across research, production, distribution, and agent namespaces. Connect once from Claude Code and run keyword research, content generation, rank tracking, and link-building campaigns without writing a single integration.
Every SEO Tool Your Claude Code Agent Needs
Five capabilities covering the full organic visibility workflow, all callable as MCP tools from Claude Code or any MCP-compatible client.

Reliability
Durable Jobs That Survive Agent Restarts
All CitationBench agent jobs run on Cyclonic workers. Jobs are resumable and cancellable via agent.invocations.cancel and agent.invocations.continue. Not fire-and-forget LLM calls.
- Survives restarts automatically
- Cancel or resume any job
- Full invocation event log
Control
Human Approval Gates Inside Agent Runs
Any agent step can emit awaiting_approval, pausing the job until a human approves via dashboard or POST /v1/agent/invocations/{id}/approve. Every decision is logged. Agents resume exactly where they stopped.
- Pause at any agent step
- Approve via API or dashboard
- Full audit trail per decision
How it works
From sign-up to first call in five minutes.
Sign up and get your key
An `sk_test_*` key lands in your dashboard instantly. No demo gate — start calling real endpoints with shape-complete responses.
Add the MCP server or hit REST
`claude mcp add citationbench https://mcp.citationbench.com/mcp` from Claude Code, Cursor, or any MCP client. Or `curl` against `api.citationbench.com/v1/*` directly.
Run a tool or invoke an agent
Every tool returns shape-complete demo data without auth, so your agent works before the user signs up. Tools across research, production, indexing, link-building, and agents.
Scope to a workspace and ship
Add `X-Workspace-Id: ws_***` to scope per client. Switch to a live `sk_live_*` key when you're ready. Same API surface, same SDK.
Why CitationBench
Built for production, agency-scale, and AI-agent-first.
~35 tools, one MCP server
Hosted at mcp.citationbench.com/mcp. Works with Claude Code, Cursor, Claude Desktop, Windsurf, and ChatGPT Apps. No self-hosting required.
Durable jobs, not fire-and-forget
Every long-running call runs on Cyclonic workers — survives restarts, cancellable, resumable, streams via SSE. Production-safe by default.
Multi-workspace from day one
One master API key, N client workspaces. Switch with a single `X-Workspace-Id` header. Per-client data isolation, bulk ops across all of them.
Demo mode out of the box
Every endpoint responds in shape-complete demo mode without auth, so you can build the agent before the user signs up.
