Local SEO Data MCP server
by localseodata
Ask your AI about local search rankings, reviews, and competitors, and it looks them up for you.
This is a helper that connects your AI assistant to Local SEO Data, a service that tracks how businesses show up in local search. Once it is set up, you can ask plain questions about rankings, reviews, and keywords, and your assistant fetches the answers. It is handy if you handle marketing for local businesses, like plumbers, dentists, or restaurants.
What is an MCP server? The 30-second version
On its own, your AI can only chat with you using what it already knows. An MCP server is a small helper program that gives your AI a new skill or a connection to an outside service. This one connects your AI to Local SEO Data, so it can look up real rankings, reviews, and keyword numbers for you. You just ask in normal words, and the AI uses this helper behind the scenes to get the facts.
What this MCP server does
You ask your AI a question about local search, like who ranks for a certain term in a certain city. The AI sends that request to this helper, which talks to the Local SEO Data service. The service runs the lookup, such as a local pack check or a review pull, and sends the results back. The AI then turns those results into a clear answer in your chat. You never have to open a dashboard or copy numbers around.

What it gives back to you

Before you start
What you need
- A Local SEO Data account (sign up at localseodata.com/signup)
- An API key from your Local SEO Data dashboard (a kind of password for apps; the site gives you one)
- Credits on your account, since each lookup uses some
Good to know
Each lookup uses credits from your Local SEO Data account, so heavy use can cost money.
