Setting Up Your Account
Overview
TransformSEO works through the Model Context Protocol (MCP), which lets your AI assistant call specialized SEO tools on your behalf. Before you start running keyword research or auditing backlinks, you need a site connected to TransformSEO. These three tools handle account setup: listing your sites, pulling a site overview, and checking your credit balance.
list-sites
Returns every site on your team with keyword counts and connected integrations (Search Console, Analytics, Google Business Profile). No parameters — automatically scoped to your team. This is usually the first tool you call to grab a site_id for everything else.
"Show me all the sites on my account."
- Run this first in any session to get the
site_idyou'll pass to other tools. - The response includes integration status — if Search Console shows as disconnected, connect it in the dashboard before syncing.
get-site-overview
Pulls a detailed overview for a single site: domain, tracked keyword count, connected integrations, and the latest domain overview snapshot (organic traffic, keywords, domain rank).
Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
site_id | integer | Yes | The site ID from list-sites |
Example
"Give me an overview of site 1."
Tips
- Use this to quickly confirm a site's health before diving into keyword or backlink analysis.
- If the domain overview data looks stale, run
sync-domain-overviewto refresh it.
get-credit-usage
Shows your current billing cycle credit consumption: plan tier, credits used, monthly limit, and remaining balance. No parameters. Every tool that fetches real-time data costs credits, so check this periodically to stay within budget.
"How many credits do I have left this month?"
- Bulk tools (like
get-keyword-volumewith 700 keywords) use more credits than single-keyword lookups. Check your balance before large batch operations. - Stored metrics tools (Search Console data, Analytics data) pull from previously synced data and don't consume credits.
