The Moz MCP server has no price of its own. It is a beta that comes with every paid Moz API plan, and on October 31, 2026 those plans started at $20 a month for 3,000 rows.
So the number to watch is rows. Moz charges up to 5 rows for one keyword’s metrics and up to 15 for a stored search results page. In the worked example below, one “can I rank for this?” question from an AI agent uses 48 rows, which puts the $20 plan at a little over 60 questions a month.
We read Moz’s pricing page, MCP guide and API docs that day, plus the third-party servers that turn up when you search for a Moz MCP. The prices are theirs. The agent arithmetic is ours.
- The MCP has no price of its own. Moz’s official MCP server is a beta that comes with any paid Moz API plan, and only the account owner can connect for now.
- Moz API plans run from $20 a month for 3,000 rows to $500 for 500,000. Enterprise is quoted. The free tier gives 50 rows a month and lists no MCP access.
- Moz Pro does not include it. Moz says no paid API access comes with a Moz Pro subscription.
- Agents spend rows fast. Site metrics cost 1 row, keyword metrics up to 5, a stored search results page up to 15, and lists 1 per result, so one agent question can use around 50.
- For SEO research in Claude or Cursor without row math, ContextBolt SEO has a 7-day free trial, then $35 a month for 1,000 credits, with each research call a flat credit.
Does Moz have an official MCP server?
Yes. Moz runs a hosted MCP server and documents it in its MCP server guide. Moz announced it on the Moz blog on August 3, 2026, with the line “The Moz API is now accessible via MCP.”
The guide sets out how it works:
- Two endpoints: Moz Data, at
https://api.moz.com/mcp/v1/data, covers site metrics, links, keywords and rankings, and needs a Moz Data API subscription. Moz Local, athttps://api.moz.com/mcp/v1/local, manages business listings and needs a Moz Local subscription. - Beta, for account owners: “Access is limited to account owners today,” the guide says. Teammates with a seat on the account cannot connect yet.
- Sign-in: OAuth inside your AI client, or your Moz API key sent as a Bearer token.
- Clients: Moz Data and Moz Local are both in Claude’s connector directory, and there is a
claude mcp addcommand for Claude Code. Moz’s launch post says it also works in ChatGPT, Gemini CLI, Cursor, Windsurf and VS Code.
The guide gives no price. The cost sits in the API plan behind it.
Moz hosts the server, so there is no Moz code to install, and we found no MCP server among the 175 public repositories on Moz’s GitHub account. On October 31 we sent the Data endpoint one request without signing in, and it answered with a sign-in challenge, so the server is up.
If MCP is new to you, our guide to what an SEO MCP server does covers the basics.
Moz API pricing, plan by plan
This is Moz’s API pricing page as it read on October 31, 2026. Each paid plan carries the line “MCP Access: Beta Enabled.”
| Plan | Price a month | Rows a month | Extra rows | MCP access |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | 50 | Not listed | Not listed |
| Starter Medium | $20 | 3,000 | Not available | Beta |
| Starter Large | $75 | 15,000 | $5 per 1,000 | Beta |
| Growth Small | $125 | 50,000 | $25 per 10,000 | Beta |
| Growth Medium | $250 | 120,000 | $20 per 10,000 | Beta |
| Growth Large | $500 | 500,000 | $10 per 10,000 | Beta |
| Enterprise | Quote | Over 4 million | Custom | Beta |
At $20 for 3,000 rows, a row costs about two-thirds of a cent. At $500 for 500,000, it costs a tenth of a cent. The free tier also allows one request every ten seconds.
Moz Pro does not cover any of this. The FAQ on the same page says “There is no paid access included in the Moz Pro subscription,” and the MCP guide ties the Data endpoint to a Moz Data API subscription. Moz Pro starts at $49 a month for one website on its Pro pricing page, so a Moz Pro customer who wants Moz data in Claude pays for an API plan as well.
How Moz counts API rows
Moz meters the API in rows. Its getting started guide says one row typically matches one object in a response, or one field when a method returns a single report. Each method’s page then lists its own cost. These are the costs for common SEO calls.
| Moz API call | Rows used |
|---|---|
| Site metrics for one URL (DA, PA, Spam Score, link counts) | 1 a call |
| Keyword difficulty on its own | 1 a call |
| Keyword metrics (volume, difficulty, CTR, priority, intent) | Up to 5 |
| Stored search results page (SERP) for a keyword | Up to 15 |
| Freshly collected SERP | Up to 21 |
| Related keywords, ranking keywords, links, linking domains | 1 per result |
Metrics Moz cannot find are not charged. Search intent is opt-in on keyword metrics until December 1, 2026 and comes back by default after that, which moves a full keyword metrics call from 4 rows to 5. The ranking keywords list returns up to 25 results unless you set another limit, so one call can use 25 rows.
If one keyword’s difficulty is all you need, try our free keyword difficulty checker before you buy rows.
How far 3,000 rows go in an AI agent
The agent decides how many calls a question takes. In Moz’s own launch post, one prompt, “Run an SEO analysis for me comparing bose.com to jbl.com and sennheiser.com,” ran what the author calls “a full analysis using a variety of Moz API endpoints.” The post does not say how many rows that used.
Take a smaller question, “Can I rank for standing desks for small spaces?” One reasonable plan for the agent:
- Fetch keyword metrics for the phrase, 5 rows.
- Fetch the stored SERP, 15 rows.
- Fetch site metrics for the three domains at the top, 3 rows.
- List your own site’s ranking keywords to see where you stand, 25 rows.
With every metric found, that comes to 48 rows a question.
| Plan | Rows a month | Questions like this | Cost a question |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starter, $20 | 3,000 | About 62 | About 32 cents |
| Starter, $75 | 15,000 | About 312 | About 24 cents |
| Growth, $125 | 50,000 | About 1,040 | About 12 cents |
The free tier’s 50 rows would cover one, and it lists no MCP access.
Moz does not list a separate price for MCP tool calls. Its guide describes the server as a way for your AI client to call the Moz APIs, so these figures use each method’s published row cost. Your own number moves with how you ask and how many results the agent requests.
Before a big job, check your balance in the Moz API dashboard, or with the quota lookup method, which uses no rows. Moz checks the balance before each call and rejects one that would cost more than you have left, without charging it. On the $20 plan there is no overage, so once the 3,000 rows are gone the agent gets an “insufficient quota” error until the monthly reset.
Our Semrush MCP pricing guide does the same arithmetic for Semrush, if you are comparing meters.
Third-party Moz MCP servers and what they cost
Search for a Moz MCP and you also find routes Moz does not run.
Apify scraper actors
Apify is a marketplace of hosted scrapers called actors, and its MCP server can load one as a tool for your AI client. We read two Moz actors on October 31. maximedupre/moz-scraper charges $2.35 per 1,000 domain analyses. parsebird/moz-scraper charges $6.99 per 1,000 results on Apify’s free plan, falling to $5.49 on Apify’s Business plan.
Both read Moz’s free Domain Analysis page, so they need no Moz account and return what that page shows, such as Domain Authority, Page Authority, Spam Score and linking root domains. The parsebird listing says it does not return keyword volume or difficulty. Neither is Moz’s product, and the maximedupre listing answers “Is this the official Moz API?” with “No.”
Apify’s free plan includes $5 of usage a month, enough for about 2,100 domain analyses on the cheaper actor. Once that is spent, Apify blocks the account until the next monthly cycle.
Community servers on GitHub
metehan777/moz-mcp runs on your own computer with your Moz API token, so each call still comes out of your Moz rows. Its last code push was in June 2025.
Skills and connector hubs
The Moz SEO Automation skill on mcpmarket, published by ComposioHQ, is a Claude Code skill that runs through Composio’s Rube MCP. Composio’s Moz toolkit connects with a Moz API key, so it draws on the same rows.
Which route suits you
- ContextBolt SEO, for SEO research in your agent: keyword, SERP, competitor and backlink research in Claude, Cursor or Codex, at a flat credit per research call, with a 7-day free trial before $35 a month.
- The Moz API and its MCP, for Moz’s own metrics: if your reports quote Domain Authority, Page Authority, Brand Authority or Spam Score, Moz is the source, from $20 a month for 3,000 rows.
- An Apify actor, for bulk Domain Authority checks: a few dollars per 1,000 domains with no Moz account, for outreach and prospect lists.
- A community wrapper, for developers: you pick and host the tools yourself, and Moz still bills the rows.
Where ContextBolt SEO fits
ContextBolt SEO is ours, so weigh the bias.
It is a hosted SEO MCP server. You paste one URL into Claude, Cursor or Codex, sign in with your email and ask in plain English. The 7-day free trial gives you 100 credits, with a card required, and then it is $35 a month for 1,000 credits.
Research is priced per call. Keyword research, difficulty, SERPs, domains and competitors cost 1 credit a call, whatever the call returns. Backlink tools cost 3. Site audits cost 1 credit a page, up to 50 pages a run. Your Google Search Console connects for free and uses no credits.
So the standing desk question above is a handful of 1-credit calls. Every result also saves to your SEO Dashboard, a private page that is free to browse, so last month’s research is still there. To see the whole job on live data, read keyword research with Claude.
ContextBolt SEO runs on DataForSEO data, so it does not report Moz’s Domain Authority or Spam Score, and it does not run scheduled rank tracking.
Start with the free site check on your own domain. It needs no account, and it shows how your site turns up on Google and in ChatGPT.
