Building SEO Tooling Is Slow and Fragmented

Wiring LLMs to SEO data sources means months of integration work before a single agent runs reliably.

Months of Integration Debt

Connecting Claude to DataForSEO, SE Ranking, and GSC separately means building and maintaining every API client yourself.

No Durable Jobs, Just Guesses

Fire-and-forget LLM calls have no approval gates, no resume-on-failure, and no audit trail — production agents need more.

35 Tools Hidden Across Docs

Discovering what SEO operations are even possible requires reading docs across a dozen vendors before writing a single line of agent logic.

The fix

One Hosted MCP Server. Every SEO Tool Ready.

CitationBench's hosted MCP server at mcp.citationbench.com/mcp exposes ~35 tools across research, production, distribution, and agents namespaces. Connect from Claude Code, Cursor, or Windsurf in one command and invoke keyword research, SERP analysis, rank tracking, link building, and AI citation monitoring from any agent.

Every SEO Tool Callable via MCP

Five capability areas — covering the full SEO workflow — available as named MCP tools with no self-hosting required.

Keyword Research as an MCP Tool

Research Tools

Keyword Research as an MCP Tool

Invoke research.keyword.research from your agent to discover, cluster, and 2D-label keyword sets from a seed. Results persist for downstream production steps. Bulk import via research.keyword.bulk_create.

  • Seed-to-keyword-universe
  • Intent and relevance labels
  • Persisted for agent pipelines
Live SERP Fetch Inside Your Agent

SERP Analysis

Live SERP Fetch Inside Your Agent

Call research.serp.fetch to pull live SERP data for any query directly inside an agent workflow. Returns top results, domain signals, and content types — ready to pass to content generation or gap analysis tools.

  • Live SERP per query
  • Domain authority signals
  • Stored and listable results
Invoke Full SEO Agents via MCP

Agent Orchestration

Invoke Full SEO Agents via MCP

Use agent.invoke to run named agents like brand-bootstrap directly from your MCP client. Supports real-time SSE event streaming, multi-turn continuation, and approval-gated pauses — not fire-and-forget calls.

  • POST /v1/agent/invoke
  • SSE streaming events
  • Human approval gates
Daily Rank Tracking as an MCP Tool

Measurement

Daily Rank Tracking as an MCP Tool

Pull daily rank data per keyword across all client workspaces from your agent. Scoped via X-Workspace-Id header — no separate tracker to wire up. Available via MCP tool, REST, and dashboard simultaneously.

  • Daily rank history
  • Per-workspace scoping
  • REST and MCP access

How it works

From sign-up to first call in five minutes.

01

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.

02

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.

03

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.

04

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.
