SE Ranking MCP: keywords, backlinks and audits in your AI app

SE Ranking's MCP server covers the SEO work you'd otherwise script against the SE Ranking API: keyword research, backlinks, domain analysis, SERP data, site audits, rank tracking and AI Search visibility. ContextGate connects it to Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor, records each call, and lets you switch off any tool your team doesn't need.
