CrakSEO's hosted server for SEO research. Its 20 tools fetch live Google and Bing results and the pages a Google AI Overview cites, check where a domain ranks for up to 10 keywords, get search volume, CPC and difficulty, find keyword ideas and the keywords a competitor ranks for that you don't, list backlinks, referring domains and anchor text, run a technical audit with Lighthouse and Core Web Vitals, check Google Maps rankings and a Google Business Profile, and check whether ChatGPT or Perplexity mention a brand. The tools only read data, which comes from third-party suppliers the site doesn't name. This one connection holds the tools of CrakSEO's seven focused servers (keyword research at /mcp/keyword-research, AI visibility at /mcp/ai-visibility, plus SERP, backlinks, rank tracker, site audit and local SEO), so connect it or a focused one, not both. Search Console and URL indexing are separate servers and aren't graded here. You sign in to CrakSEO in the browser (an account is made on first sign-in), and the connection only gets the seo-data:read scope. Data calls spend prepaid API credits. The free get_api_credit_balance tool tells you whether data calls are switched on, and some docs pages still list per-call prices as TBD, so have your assistant state the price before a paid call. The privacy policy says CrakSEO keeps the keywords, domains and URLs you send and the results, with no set retention period. No advisories on record. Biggest deduction: the server is closed source (the GitHub repo holds plugin files and skills), every public commit is by one developer, and the site doesn't name the company behind it, so maintenance is scored one band lower.
