# DataForSEO: Live SEO Data (Extension)
Live search data via the DataForSEO MCP server. Provides real-time SERP results
(organic + images), keyword metrics, backlink profiles, on-page analysis, content
analysis, business listings, AI visibility checking, and LLM mention tracking
across 9 API modules with 79+ MCP tools.
## Prerequisites
This skill requires the DataForSEO extension to be installed:
```bash

```
next-seo run dataforseo_costs.py check <endpoint> [--count N]
```

- If `"status": "needs_approval"` → show the cost estimate to the user and ask for confirmation before proceeding
- If `"status": "blocked"` → inform the user that the daily budget limit would be exce
