Building SEO agents on raw APIs means months of integration work before you write a single line of agent logic.
Months of integration debt
Stitching Ahrefs, Surfer, and Apollo APIs into a single agent layer takes months and still leaves you with brittle glue code.
No SEO layer in your MCP client
Claude Code and Cursor have no native SEO tools — developers must build, host, and maintain their own MCP server from scratch.
Fire and forget agents break silently
LLM calls without durable job infrastructure fail quietly mid-run and leave no audit trail for review or recovery.
The fix
One Hosted MCP Server. Every SEO Tool.
CitationBench is a production-ready hosted MCP server at mcp.citationbench.com/mcp exposing ~35 SEO and GEO tools across research, production, distribution, and agent namespaces — callable today from Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, or any MCP client without self-hosting.
Every SEO Tool Your Agent Needs
From keyword research and content generation to link building and rank tracking, all tools are available via MCP or REST from a single hosted endpoint.
MCP Infrastructure
Hosted MCP Server Ready to Connect
Connect in one command via mcp.citationbench.com/mcp. Tools namespaced as research.*, produce.*, indexing.*, link_building.*, agent.*, and workspaces.* — ready to call from any MCP client.
- ~35 tools across 6 namespaces
- Works with Claude Code and Cursor
- No self-hosting or DevOps required
Agent Orchestration
Invoke Full SEO Workflows as Agents
Run any named agent via agent.invoke or POST /v1/agent/invoke with structured input. Supports multi-turn continuation, real-time streaming, and human approval gates — not fire-and-forget LLM calls.
- POST /v1/agent/invoke entry point
- Real-time SSE event streaming
- Approval-gated pauses at any step
Reliability
Durable Jobs That Survive Agent Restarts
All agent jobs run on Cyclonic workers — durable, resumable via agent.invocations.continue, and cancellable. Jobs survive restarts and stream live events via SSE so you always know the current state.
- Backed by Cyclonic workers
- Resumable and cancellable jobs
- SSE streaming for live visibility
Research Tools
Keyword Research with 2D Intent Labeling
Discover, cluster, and label keyword sets from a seed URL via research.keyword.research. Every keyword tagged on two axes — intent and relevance — for downstream filtering inside your agent workflows.
- POST /v1/research/keyword
- Intent × relevance taxonomy
- Bulk import via research.keyword.bulk_create
Agency Architecture
Multi-Workspace for Agency Agent Pipelines
Scope every MCP tool call to a specific client workspace via the X-Workspace-Id header. One master API key manages N isolated workspaces — keywords, content, campaigns, and link-building kept separate per client.
- Single API key for N workspaces
- X-Workspace-Id header scoping
- White-label-ready workspace isolation
How it works
From sign-up to first call in five minutes.
Sign up and get your key
An `sk_test_*` key lands in your dashboard instantly. No demo gate — start calling real endpoints with shape-complete responses.
Add the MCP server or hit REST
`claude mcp add citationbench https://mcp.citationbench.com/mcp` from Claude Code, Cursor, or any MCP client. Or `curl` against `api.citationbench.com/v1/*` directly.
Run a tool or invoke an agent
Every tool returns shape-complete demo data without auth, so your agent works before the user signs up. Tools across research, production, indexing, link-building, and agents.
Scope to a workspace and ship
Add `X-Workspace-Id: ws_***` to scope per client. Switch to a live `sk_live_*` key when you're ready. Same API surface, same SDK.
