Server tool list (18)

Raw names from tools/list. Only developers need these.

whoamiReturns the authenticated user, organization, server mode, token scopes, and current credit balance. Free — charges no credits. Use this first to confirm connection context before choosing a project or running paid tools.
list_projectsLists all projects in the user's organization. Free — charges no credits. Use this whenever you need a `projectId` for another OpenSEO tool. Returns an array of {id, name, domain}; pass the `id` value as `projectId`.
list_saved_keywordsLists keywords saved to a project (with cached metrics like search volume, difficulty, CPC, and tags if available). Free — reads from OpenSEO's database, charges no credits. Use tag filters when the user asks for a saved segment; multiple tags match ANY tag.
research_keywordsResearch keyword data (search volume, difficulty, CPC, related ideas) for 1-5 seed keywords in one call. Charges credits per seed (~50-200 credits each, varies by source). Returns per-seed results — a single bad seed won't fail the batch.
save_keywordsSave keywords to a project's saved-keywords list. Free — charges no credits. Idempotent: re-saving an existing keyword is a no-op. If tags are provided, missing tags may be created. By default tags are appended; set tagMode=replace to remove existing tags from these saved keywords before applying the provided tags, which is useful for reorganizing keywords into page/topic clusters. Ask the user for confirmation before applying or replacing tags broadly.
get_domain_overviewReturns a high-level view of a domain's organic footprint: estimated organic traffic, organic keyword count, backlinks, and referring domains. Use this first for domain research; for the detailed ranked-keyword list, call get_domain_keyword_suggestions next. Charges credits (~100-300 typical). Cached for 12 hours per domain.
get_domain_keyword_suggestionsReturns the organic keywords a domain ranks for, including position and available metrics. Use after get_domain_overview when you want the detailed keyword opportunity list for a competitor or reference domain. Charges credits (~100-300 typical). Cached for 12 hours.
get_backlinks_overviewReturns a backlinks profile summary (total backlinks, referring domains, top referring domains). Charges credits (~200-500 typical). Self-hosted deployments need the Backlinks API enabled on their DataForSEO account.
get_serp_resultsFetch live Google organic search results for 1-10 keywords. Use this to inspect who ranks for a query, verify competitors, compare SERPs across keywords, or gather source URLs before content planning. Charges credits per keyword (~30-60 each). Does not save results to OpenSEO. Per-keyword errors don't fail the batch.
get_rank_trackerRead-only access to rank tracker configs and their latest results. With `trackerId`, returns config + latest snapshot per keyword. Without it, lists all trackers in the project. Free — reads from OpenSEO state, charges no credits. To trigger a new check, use the dashboard.
get_ranked_keywordsReturns exact keyword, URL, rank, search volume, CPC, intent, and traffic rows for a domain or page. Use this for strategy evidence; use get_domain_overview for aggregate domain footprint. Charges credits.
find_serp_competitorsCompares domains competing in Google results for a supplied keyword set. Useful for market and search-intelligence reports; not radius-based local SEO. Charges credits.
search_local_businessesSearches local business listings near a coordinate. Use this to find local business candidates or nearby competitors; it does not run Maps rank checks or Q&A. Charges credits.
get_local_serp_resultsFetches one Google Maps or Local Finder SERP near a coordinate. Returns provider rows with rank fields intact; callers decide how to match a target business. Charges credits.
get_google_business_questionsFetches Google Business Profile questions and answers for one business keyword near a coordinate. Run this only when Q&A evidence is needed. Charges credits.
get_keyword_metricsHydrate up to 700 known keywords with search volume, keyword difficulty (KD), search intent, CPC, competition, and monthly trends in a single call. Use it to score candidate or known keywords — including Search Console striking-distance queries — by real demand and ranking difficulty. Charges credits.
get_search_console_performanceQuery the connected Search Console property's Search Analytics: clicks, impressions, CTR, and average position by query/page/country/device/date. First-party data — use it for what already ranks, near-ranking queries, and pages with real demand. ctr is a 0-1 fraction; position is a 1-based average; dates are Pacific Time; the last ~3 days may be incomplete. Read-only and free (no credits).
inspect_urlsRun Google Search Console's URL Inspection on up to 10 URLs of the connected property: index/coverage state, last crawl time, Google-selected vs declared canonical, and mobile/rich-results verdicts. Use it to answer 'is this page indexed? why not?'. Per-URL failures are reported inline. Read-only and free (no credits).
