| Claude Code | Native MCP | Connects to the same HTTP MCP server over OAuth 2.1. |
| Cursor | Native MCP | Documented setup; add the server URL and authenticate with Google. |
| Windsurf | Native MCP | Listed as a supported MCP client. |
| n8n | API-only (custom code) | No native node and no public REST API; integrate via webhooks and CMS connectors instead. |
How to connect Sorank MCP to Claude Desktop

Does Sorank MCP cost extra?
Sorank ships an official MCP server that uses your existing subscription credentials.
- No separate MCP licence to buy. You pay for your Sorank plan, the MCP server queries that account.
- Whether it's gated to a specific tier wasn't extracted automatically — verify the access requirements on the MCP page or pricing docs.
Sorank also publishes a REST API
Sorank publishes an API, but per-tier gating wasn't extracted automatically.

Three shapes of agent workflow. Pick the row that matches how you actually use Claude / Cursor / Codex day to day.
Skip the dashboard, ask Claude
- "What keywords moved this week?" answered in seconds
- Quick one-off questions without leaving the editor
- Pipe Sorank data into your personal notes / docs without writing a script
Run client analysis at agent speed
- Hand the MCP server to your team — every consultant can ask Claude about any client's Sorank account
- Multi-account workflows without context-switching the Sorank UI
- Reports you'd normally spend hours on, done before standup
Production agent workflows
- Embed in your internal Codex / Cursor agents that triage Sorank data daily
- Combine with other MCP servers in a multi-step agent chain
- Constrain agents to read-only roles to keep production Sorank safe
Limits and gotchas
- Official MCP server — published by Sorank themselves, so it should track product changes.
- Fallback: the REST API works for any flow the MCP server doesn't cover.
- Rate limits: MCP calls count against your underlying Sorank API quota. Burst usage from a curious agent can drain a daily allowance fast.
Agent-readiness verdict
A genuinely well-built free MCP server: OAuth 2.1 with dynamic client registration, no API key anywhere, and 15 tools spanning Search Console, GA4, PageSpeed and GEO scoring. Held back only because its scope is read-only measurement rather than driving Sorank itself.
