Product Overview
What is OpenSEO?
OpenSEO is an open-source SEO platform built to let users and AI agents collaborate directly on SEO strategy and content. Instead of forcing marketers to switch between dashboards, it exposes an SEO MCP server so tools like Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, and Codex CLI can query live SERP data, competitor domains, backlinks, and Search Console signals through natural conversation. Backed by DataForSEO's real data rather than generic AI guesses, it covers keyword research, rank tracking, technical audits, and AI-search visibility in one connected workflow. The project is fully self-hostable for free, or available as a $10/month managed service with a 30-day money-back guarantee.
