What Seobility exposes
Seobility is the German-engineered technical SEO toolkit, built around four pillars: Website Audit (1,000-100,000 page crawls with duplicate content analysis and JavaScript crawling on Agency), Ranking Monitoring (daily desktop + mobile every 3 days, country and city-level localization, AI Overview tracking, Local Pack on Agency), Backlink Monitoring (broken backlinks, link-building tools, Premium and Agency only), and Uptime Monitoring (24/7 checks down to 1-minute intervals). The standalone Free Basic tier is usable without the feature limits most competitors impose on free tiers. API access is limited to the Ranking Monitoring data, Agency-tier only, and requires emailing api@seobility.net for access. The deprecated standalone 'Dedicated SEO API' still has legacy docs but is independent of regular Seobility accounts. For agent workflows, the API surface is the narrowest in the SEO category.
Pricing, limits, and integration
API access requires the Agency plan ($160/month annual or $200/month monthly = $1,920/year minimum) AND an approved email request to api@seobility.net. Premium and Basic plans get no API access at all. Pricing beyond plan inclusion isn't published; Seobility doesn't surface per-call rates, rate-limit headers, or volume pricing. The deprecated standalone 'Dedicated SEO API' has its own legacy pricing but is no longer actively sold. For agent workflows, the practical implication is steep: minimum cost of entry is $1,920/year, and you get ranking data only with no backlink coverage, very limited onpage data, and no first-party developer infrastructure. Teams that want API-first SEO data should look at Moz API ($20-$10K row-billed) or DataForSEO instead.
How much does the Seobility API actually cost?
Seobility publishes an API, but per-tier gating wasn't extracted automatically.
- Most likely scenario: API access is either included in all paid plans, or it's gated to higher tiers and we need to verify on the live docs page.
- Until verified, treat the question "which plan unlocks the API" as open. Don't budget on the assumption it's free with the cheapest paid plan.

Which AI clients can read Seobility data?
Not every AI assistant supports MCP natively. Here's the per-client picture for Seobility specifically.
| Client | Support | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Claude (Desktop/Web) | API-only (custom code) | No MCP path of any kind. The Ranking Monitoring API is Agency-tier-only AND email-request gated, so even custom-code integration requires vendor approval. |
| Claude Code | API-only (custom code) | No MCP path of any kind. The Ranking Monitoring API is Agency-tier-only AND email-request gated, so even custom-code integration requires vendor approval. |
| ChatGPT | API-only (custom code) | No MCP path of any kind. The Ranking Monitoring API is Agency-tier-only AND email-request gated, so even custom-code integration requires vendor approval. |
| Cursor | API-only (custom code) | No MCP path of any kind. The Ranking Monitoring API is Agency-tier-only AND email-request gated, so even custom-code integration requires vendor approval. |
| Codex | Not supported | Codex is MCP-native; no MCP server to connect. |
| Windsurf | Not supported | — |
| Cline | Not supported | — |
| Gemini | API-only (custom code) | No MCP path of any kind. The Ranking Monitoring API is Agency-tier-only AND email-request gated, so even custom-code integration requires vendor approval. |

What you can build with the Seobility API
Three personas, three different shapes of build. Pick the row that matches how you actually ship.
Glue Seobility into your daily workflow
- Pull a digest of ranking changes into your morning Slack
- Trigger a one-off backfill when something looks off
- Pipe data into your own SQLite for ad-hoc queries
Sell Seobility reporting at scale
- White-label Seobility data into client-branded dashboards
- Run scheduled multi-account reports without logging into the Seobility UI
- Cross-reference with the rest of the client's stack (CRM, analytics, ad spend)
Production pipelines for Seobility
- Real-time sync into your warehouse on a cron
- Custom alerts the dashboard's built-in alerting can't express
- Backfill + idempotency handling for Seobility data older than the dashboard exposes
Quickstart template
# Starter template — endpoint paths and SDK package names come from # the Seobility API docs: https://legacy.seobility.net/static/api/documentation.html curl -X GET "https://legacy.seobility.net/<your-endpoint>" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \ -H "Accept: application/json" | jq .
Template only. Endpoint paths, exact base URL, and auth header format come from legacy.seobility.net/static/api/documentation.html.
Limits and gotchas
- No OpenAPI spec — you write typed clients by hand or use a third-party generator on the docs HTML.
- No official SDK detected. Plan on hitting the API directly with your HTTP client of choice.
- Rate limits: always read the docs page before scaling — the published limit is usually lower than the practical one and overages can be expensive.
Agent-readiness verdict
Score: 3/10 on API-readiness. Seobility's API exists but it's effectively gated behind two locked doors: the $1,920/year Agency plan AND vendor approval via email. Even after access, the scope is ranking-data-only with no backlinks and 'very limited' onpage data. There's no developer infrastructure (no SDKs, no OpenAPI spec, no published rate limits, no webhooks). For teams already on Agency with narrow ranking-data needs, the API is a useful adjunct. For anyone building an API-first SEO stack, look elsewhere, Mangools, Moz, and DataForSEO all expose more API value at lower friction.
Avoid for agent workflows. Seobility has public API documentation but no MCP server, OpenAPI spec, or SDKs to enable programmatic integration with Claude or similar tools. Without webhooks or structured outputs, automation remains manual and limited.
