RankJot

RankJot MCP server

Real Google rankings as a tool for AI assistants. Ask Claude (or any MCP client) "where does example.com rank for best running shoes in the UK?" and it makes a live lookup instead of guessing.

What it does

One tool:

check_rank(domain, keyword, country="us") returns

• position: the domain's 1-based Google organic position, or null if it isn't in the results checked
• url: which of the domain's pages ranks
• results: the top 10 organic results (position, domain, url, title), so the assistant can answer "who's above me?" without another call
• quota: lookups used and remaining this month

Positions are organic results only (ads, maps and answer boxes aren't counted), for the Google market you pass as country.

Setup

1. Get an API key. Sign in at rankjot.com, open Account → API access → Generate key. Free accounts include 25 lookups a month; the API plan ($20/mo) includes 5,000.

2. Add the server to your client. It runs with uvx, so there's nothing to install by hand.

Claude Desktop (claude_desktop_config.json):

{  "mcpServers": {    "rankjot": {      "command": "uvx",      "args": ["rankjot-mcp"],      "env": { "RANKJOT_API_KEY": "rjk_your_key_here" }    }  }}

Any other client that launches stdio servers takes the same command, uvx rankjot-mcp, with RANKJOT_API_KEY in its environment.

Prefer pip? pip install rankjot-mcp, then use rankjot-mcp as the command.

3. Restart the client and ask a ranking question.

Errors

Failures come back as a normal result with an error field, so the assistant can tell you what happened instead of retrying blindly:

Every call spends one lookup. Models are happy to call tools in loops, so if you ask about many keywords at once, say how many lookups it may use.

Privacy

The domain, keyword and country you check are sent to rankjot.com to perform the lookup. See the privacy policy.
