Botify MCP server: setup, pricing & agent-readiness

How to connect Botify MCP to Claude Desktop

Add this block to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows), then restart Claude Desktop. Cursor and Codex use a similar schema.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "botify": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "<server-package-name>"],
      "env": {
        "BOTIFY_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here"
      }
    }
  }
}
// Server source: https://github.com/ag2-mcp-servers/botify-api
// Check the server's README for the exact "command" and required env vars.

Some MCP servers require an API key. Check the source page for setup: github.com/ag2-mcp-servers/botify-api.

Does Botify MCP cost extra?

Community (free)

The Botify MCP server is community-built — free to run, but you still pay for your Botify subscription.

Community MCPs are normally self-hosted from a GitHub repo. There's no extra license fee.
Your Botify account still needs whatever plan is required to access the data the MCP server queries.
Trade-off: zero MCP cost, but no guarantee it'll keep working when Botify changes their UI or API.

What you can do with Botify from an AI agent

Three shapes of agent workflow. Pick the row that matches how you actually use Claude / Cursor / Codex day to day.

INDIE / SOLO

Skip the dashboard, ask Claude

"What keywords moved this week?" answered in seconds
Quick one-off questions without leaving the editor
Pipe Botify data into your personal notes / docs without writing a script

Effort: 30 seconds — paste the config, restart Claude

AGENCY

Run client analysis at agent speed

Hand the MCP server to your team — every consultant can ask Claude about any client's Botify account
Multi-account workflows without context-switching the Botify UI
Reports you'd normally spend hours on, done before standup

Effort: An afternoon — set up auth per client

IN-HOUSE TEAM

Production agent workflows

Embed in your internal Codex / Cursor agents that triage Botify data daily
Combine with other MCP servers in a multi-step agent chain
Constrain agents to read-only roles to keep production Botify safe

Effort: Days — security review + role config

Limits and gotchas

Community MCP — not maintained by Botify. Check the README and last-update date before depending on it.
Fallback: the REST API works for any flow the MCP server doesn't cover.
Rate limits: MCP calls count against your underlying Botify API quota. Burst usage from a curious agent can drain a daily allowance fast.

2/10

Agent-readiness verdict

Not agent-ready for production workflows. Botify has a community MCP server, but lacks official MCP support, documented public APIs, SDKs, and structured output capabilities. The missing API documentation and absence of native integrations mean you'll face significant friction routing SEO data into agent loops.

Botify MCP & API FAQ

Is the Botify MCP server official?+

No — it's a community build, not maintained by Botify. Expect occasional drift and check the README before depending on it for production agents.

Can I use the Botify MCP with Cursor or Codex?+

Yes — MCP is a protocol, not Claude-specific. Any MCP-capable client (Cursor, Codex, Windsurf, Zed) can use the same server config with minor path adjustments.
