Which MCP servers are budgetSEO's own, from the official registry and from asking its own domain, whether they answer, and what they offer. A program checked each of these, nobody copied them from a product page.

Whose server it is
  • Registry nameai.budgetseo/budget-seo-mcpverified in the MCP registry

The registry name sits under budgetseo.ai. The registry only lets a publisher use that namespace after proving control of the domain through DNS or HTTP.

  • can do · compare keyword volume, difficulty and competitor top keywords
  • not sure · monitor whether Google AI Overviews and ChatGPT mention your domain

Worth a look

  • Tools that change data, on a server that answers without a sign-in: update_recommendation

A program checks the server once a day: initialize and tools/list, no model. Tokens are the definitions' length at about four characters a token. The grade averages six checks of every tool's name, description, schema and annotations; it says how well the tools are described, not whether they work. The score weighs what was measured and nothing else: answering (25%), doing the product's job (25%), definitions (20%), context (10%), use (10%) and how readily a client connects (10%). A part that was not measured is left out, and a hidden instruction caps the score at 40. The state of vendors' MCP servers: method and numbers →

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • list_projects

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

  • get_rank_changes

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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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_keyword

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

  • 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_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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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_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.

How to connect

Add the server to your MCP client config. Claude Desktop, Cursor and most other clients read this shape:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "budget-seo-mcp": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://www.budgetseo.ai/api/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Add it

Claude Code, in a terminal

claude mcp add --transport http budgetseo https://www.budgetseo.ai/api/mcp

Add to CursorAdd to VS Code

claude.ai, ChatGPT and other clients: add https://www.budgetseo.ai/api/mcp as a custom connector in the settings.

Each line is something a program found when it went looking: the registry entry, the server's own answer, a spec that parses. A missing line means we did not find it, not that it does not exist.
