What it does
Rank Tracking is an agent skill from Ryze-AI-Adgent/open-seo-mcp-skills. Rank tracking without a tracker subscription — position movers between any two periods from real Search Console data. Use when asked "how are my rankings", "what moved this week/month", "track my keywords", or "did the update hit me".
Its SKILL.md is about 570 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Marketing & SEO, covering AI search optimization. It works with Google Search Console and Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: Free SEO MCP server + open-source SEO and GEO skills for Claude: keyword research, rank tracking, audits, backlinks, AI visibility on your real GSC/GA4/ads data. claude mcp add…. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Asked how are my rankings
- What moved this week/month
- Track my keywords
- Did the update hit me
Example prompts
- “how are my rankings”
- “what moved this week/month”
- “track my keywords”
- “/rank-tracking”
Workflow steps
6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 81ac50e. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
claude
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
connector.get-ryze.ai
Also links to:
get-ryze.ai
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Rank Tracking loads about 573 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 62 tokens; SKILL.md has 274 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Rank Tracking
Requires
The free Ryze MCP connector (https://connector.get-ryze.ai/mcp). Claude Code: claude mcp add ryze --transport http https://connector.get-ryze.ai/mcp. claude.ai / Desktop / Cursor: add it as a custom connector with the same URL. Setup: https://www.get-ryze.ai/how-to-connect-claude-to-google-meta-ads-mcp
Rank trackers estimate your position by scraping SERPs daily. Search Console records the position Google actually served you at. Use the real number.
Workflow
- Property.
google_search_console__listSites→ pick the user's domain. - Two windows. Default: last 28 days vs previous 28. If the user names an event ("since the March update"), split around that date. GSC data lags ~2 days — never include today.
- Pull both periods.
google_search_console__runRawSearchAnalytics, dimensions["query"], rowLimit high enough to cover the site (start 5000). Repeat with["page"]for page-level movement. - Join and diff. Match queries across periods, compute position delta, clicks delta, impressions delta.
- Classify:
- Winners — position improved ≥ 2 spots on queries with real impressions
- Losers — dropped ≥ 2 spots (sort by clicks lost, not by delta — a 4→7 drop on a money query beats a 40→80 crash on a nothing query)
- New — queries appearing only in the recent period
- Lost — queries that vanished
- Spot-verify (optional). For the 3–5 most important losers, if DataForSEO SERP tools are exposed in the workspace, pull the live SERP to see who took the spot. Skip if unavailable.
Output
Verdict first (net up/down and the single biggest move), then four tables: Winners, Losers, New, Lost — query, positions before→after, clicks delta. If the user asked about a specific algorithm update, answer that question explicitly with the before/after evidence.
Recurring
If the user wants this weekly, suggest scheduling it (Claude Code scheduled tasks / a routine) rather than re-running by hand.
