* feat(rank-tracking): raise scheduler budget to 2000 units/tick The 200-unit budget used ~2-6% of DataForSEO's 2,000 req/min account cap and would take days to drain the post-#462 backlog. Scheduled checks run through the task queue (1 task_post per 100 units + free task_get polls), so a full 2,000-unit tick peaks around 1,200 req/min — still leaving headroom for the other DataForSEO products on the account. Also raise the due-config fetch limit to 500 so skip-heavy stretches (free orgs, keywordless configs) drain more than 200 rows per tick. * fix(rank-tracking): retune budget to 1000 with accurate sizing and a tick deadline Review corrections to the 10x bump: task_get polling is one call per unit per round and rounds wake synchronized per tick, with up to three ~15-min poll windows overlapping the */5 cron — 2000 units/tick could saturate DataForSEO's 2000 req/min cap, silently aging throttled polls into the ~3x-cost live fallback billed to customers. 1000/tick keeps real headroom and is still ~45x steady-state demand. Add a 3-minute wall-clock deadline to the per-config loop (stoppedByDeadline in the tick summary): a skip-heavy 500-candidate tick pays serial Autumn round-trips per distinct org and could otherwise run into the 15-minute cron kill. Name the fetch limit (DUE_CONFIGS_PER_TICK) and correct its comment. Test fixtures now derive from MAX_KEYWORDS_PER_CONFIG instead of asserting an unreachable 1500-keyword config. * fix(cron): run the audit watchdog before the rank loop reconcileStaleAudits ran after runScheduledRankChecks in the same invocation, so a slow rank tick would delay the watchdog and a wall-clock kill would skip it entirely. * fix(cron): preserve watchdog failure signal; codex review polish Rethrow a caught reconcileStaleAudits error after the rank loop so the invocation still reports failed (matching pre-reorder semantics), use an inclusive deadline comparison, and note overlapping-tick poll residue in the sizing comment.

OpenSEO MCP & Agent Skills
OpenSEO exposes an MCP server so AI agents like Claude Code, OpenClaw, and Hermes can use your SEO data directly. Agent Skills are reusable workflows that guide your agent through SEO tasks using the MCP.
Self-Hosting
OpenSEO supports two self-hosting paths:
- Simple: Docker for personal use on your own machine (recommended for getting started). See
docs/SELF_HOSTING_DOCKER.md. - Advanced: Cloudflare for internet-facing self-hosting across multiple devices or with your team (works on the free plan). See
docs/SELF_HOSTING_CLOUDFLARE.md.
Either way, you need a DataForSEO API key to get SEO data. See docs/DATAFORSEO_API_KEY.md.
Costs
OpenSEO needs a DataForSEO API key so that you can get SEO data. You pay them directly when self hosting.
When you self host, your costs will be slightly lower than the estimates on our website. The way the hosted service makes money is by charging 28% extra for every request we make to DataForSEO.
