> ## Version gate — read before invoking anything below
>
> **Every tool name in this skill is a DataForSEO MCP _v2_ name, and there are
> 84 of them.** v3.0.0 (2026-08-11) replaced roughly 79 per-endpoint tools with
> four generic ones — `api_request` plus three documentation tools — and marked
> v2 deprecated. On a v3 install every name here resolves to nothing, and this
> skill is `user_invocable: false`, so the caller sees a sub-skill that
> silently found no tools rather than an error naming the cause.
>
> Before using this skill, do one of:
>
> 1. **Check what is actually loaded.** If the tool list has `api_request` and
>    not `serp_organic_live_advanced`, you are on v3 and the names below do not
>    apply. Translate each to `api_request` with its REST path.
> 2. **Pin v2** — `dataforseo-mcp-server@2.9.13` — accepting a deprecated
>    server.
>
> **And note what this skill is.** DataForSEO is a paid API, billed per call.
> Under "paid APIs are opt-in, never a dependency", nothing may require it: the
> keyless path for the same questions is `/seo` and `/seo geo`, which are
> written to produce a complete result with no account and no spend. Reach for
> this skill only when the user already pays for DataForSEO and wants the
> depth. Never as the reason a dimension goes unreported.
