# Keyword Insights MCP Server

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that provides tools for interacting with the [Keyword Insights API](https://keywordinsights.ai/).

## Features

- **23 tools** covering all Keyword Insights API endpoints
- Automatic authentication with token caching
- Async HTTP client for optimal performance
- Full support for keyword clustering, ranking, content briefs, and writer agent
- Pagination support for large result sets
- Explicit parameter schemas for better AI model understanding
- **Compact responses** - ~70% smaller output (no whitespace, nulls/empties stripped)

## Installation

### Option 1: Using uvx (Recommended)

No installation required - uvx runs the package in an isolated environment:

```bash
uvx keyword-insights-mcp
```

If you don't have uv installed, get it from [astral.sh/uv](https://astral.sh/uv).

### Option 2: Using pip

```bash
pip install keyword-insights-mcp
```

> **Note:** If you have multiple Python versions installed, ensure you install with the same Python that will run the server. Use `python -m pip install keyword-insights-mcp` to be explicit.
