SEOmade API & MCP

Search 1001 ranked startup directories from Claude, Cursor or your own code. One key works for both.

MCP REST $9/mo 10,000 requests a day

1Your API key

2Connect

claude mcp add --transport http seomade https://seomade.app/api/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer __SEOMADE_KEY__"

Run this once in your terminal. Then just ask Claude about directories.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "seomade": {
      "url": "https://seomade.app/api/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer __SEOMADE_KEY__"
      }
    }
  }
}

Paste into ~/.cursor/mcp.json (or Cursor Settings → MCP → Add). Other MCP clients use the same URL and header.

const res = await fetch(
  "https://seomade.app/api/v1/directories?collection=saas&dofollow=true&limit=5",
  { headers: { Authorization: "Bearer __SEOMADE_KEY__" } },
);
const { results } = await res.json();
console.log(results.map((d) => `${d.name} (DR ${d.dr})`));

Works in Node 18+, Deno, Bun and the browser.

3Try it

Ask your agent things like:

“Find 10 free dofollow directories for my SaaS.”
“Which AI tool directories have DR above 70?”
“Is Product Hunt worth it for a B2B tool?”

Or check a key works right here:
