Adding New Tools/Modules
Module Structure
Each module corresponds to a specific DataForSEO API:

Implementation Options
You can either:
Add a new tool to an existing module
Create a completely new module
Adding a New Tool
Here's how to add a new tool to any new or pre-existing module:
// src/code/modules/your-module/tools/your-tool.tool.ts
import { BaseTool } from '../../base.tool';
import { DataForSEOClient } from '../../../client/dataforseo.client';
import { z } from 'zod';
export class YourTool extends BaseTool {
constructor(private client: DataForSEOClient) {
super(client);
// DataForSEO API returns extensive data with many fields, which can be overwhelming
// for AI agents to process. We select only the most relevant fields to ensure
// efficient and focused responses.
this.fields = [
'title', // Example: Include the title field
'description', // Example: Include the description field
'url', // Example: Include the URL field
// Add more fields as needed
];
}
getName() {
return 'your-tool-name';
}
getDescription() {
return 'Description of what your tool does';
}
getParams(): z.ZodRawShape {
return {
// Required parameters
keyword: z.string().describe('The keyword to search for'),
location: z.string().describe('Location in format "City,Region,Country" or just "Country"'),
// Optional parameters
fields: z.array(z.string()).optional().describe('Specific fields to return in the response. If not specified, all fields will be returned'),
language: z.string().optional().describe('Language code (e.g., "en")'),
};
}
async handle(params: any) {
try {
// Make the API call
const response = await this.client.makeRequest({
endpoint: '/v3/dataforseo_endpoint_path',
method: 'POST',
body: [{
// Your request parameters
keyword: params.keyword,
location: params.location,
language: params.language,
}],
});
// Validate the response for errors
this.validateResponse(response);
//if the main data array is specified in tasks[0].result[:] field
const result = this.handleDirectResult(response);
//if main data array specified in tasks[0].result[0].items field
const result = this.handleItemsResult(response);
// Format and return the response
return this.formatResponse(result);
} catch (error) {
// Handle and format any errors
return this.formatErrorResponse(error);
}
}
}Creating a New Module
Create a new directory under
src/core/modules/for your module:
mkdir -p src/core/modules/your-module-nameCreate module files:
// src/core/modules/your-module-name/your-module-name.module.ts
import { BaseModule } from '../base.module';
import { DataForSEOClient } from '../../client/dataforseo.client';
import { YourTool } from './tools/your-tool.tool';
export class YourModuleNameModule extends BaseModule {
constructor(private client: DataForSEOClient) {
super();
}
getTools() {
return {
'your-tool-name': new YourTool(this.client),
};
}
}Register your module in
src/core/config/modules.config.ts:
export const AVAILABLE_MODULES = [
'SERP',
'KEYWORDS_DATA',
'ONPAGE',
'DATAFORSEO_LABS',
'BACKLINKS',
'BUSINESS_DATA',
'DOMAIN_ANALYTICS',
'CONTENT_ANALYSIS',
'YOUR_MODULE_NAME' // Add your module name here
] as const;Initialize your module in
src/main/index.ts:
if (isModuleEnabled('YOUR_MODULE_NAME', enabledModules)) {
modules.push(new YourModuleNameModule(dataForSEOClient));
}Field Configuration
The MCP server supports field filtering to customize which data fields are returned in API responses. This helps reduce response size and focus on the most relevant data for your use case.
Configuration File Format
Create a JSON configuration file with the following structure:
{
"supported_fields": {
"tool_name": ["field1", "field2", "field3"],
"another_tool": ["field1", "field2"]
}
}Using Field Configuration
Pass the configuration file using the --configuration parameter:
# With npm
npm run cli -- http --configuration field-config.json
# With npx
npx dataforseo-mcp-server@latest http --configuration field-config.json
# Local mode
npx dataforseo-mcp-server@latest local --configuration field-config.jsonConfiguration Behavior
If a tool is configured: Only the specified fields will be returned in the response
If a tool is not configured: All available fields will be returned (default behavior)
If no configuration file is provided: All tools return all available fields
Example Configuration File
The repository includes an example configuration file field-config.example.json with optimized field selections for common tools:
{
"supported_fields": {
"backlinks_backlinks": [
"id",
"items.anchor",
"items.backlink_spam_score",
"items.dofollow",
"items.domain_from",
"items.domain_from_country",
"items.domain_from_ip",
"items.domain_from_platform_type",
"items.domain_from_rank",
"items.domain_to",
"items.first_seen",
"items.is_broken",
"items.is_new",
"items.item_type",
"items.last_seen",

"items.url_to_https",
"items.url_to_spam_score",
"items.url_to_status_code",
"status_code",
"status_message"
],
...
}
}Nested Field Support
The configuration supports nested field paths using dot notation:
"rating.value"- Access thevaluefield within theratingobject"items.demography.age.keyword"- Access deeply nested fields"meta.description"- Access nested object properties
Field Discovery
To discover available fields for any tool:
Run the tool without field configuration to see the full response
Identify the fields you need from the API response
Add those field paths to your configuration file
Creating Your Own Configuration
Copy the example file:
cp field-config.example.json my-config.jsonModify the field selections based on your needs
Use your custom configuration:
npx dataforseo-mcp-server@latest http --configuration my-config.jsonWhat endpoints/APIs do you want us to support next?

Scored across 89 tools
Most tools have distinct purposes with detailed descriptions. However, some close pairs exist (e.g., keyword suggestions vs. ideas; backlinks_referring_domains vs bulk variant), but descriptions help agents differentiate.
Within each category (e.g., backlinks_, dataforseo_labs_google_) naming is fairly consistent, but across categories there is mixing of prefixes (kw_data vs dataforseo_labs) and inconsistent abbreviations (opt vs optimization), reducing overall predictability.
89 tools is very high for an SEO API. While each tool serves a specific need, many could be consolidated into parameterized endpoints (e.g., bulk vs single). The volume may overwhelm agents and increase selection difficulty.
The toolset covers a broad range of SEO data: keyword research, backlinks, SERP (multiple engines), business listings, on-page analysis, domain intelligence, content analysis, and Amazon merchant data. Few obvious gaps exist for the stated domain.
