Documentation

Create an account, then point a project at your domain. Everything in IndexZero is scoped to a project: the domain decides what gets audited and tracked, and the market (location + language) is the default for every research tool.

New workspaces get 2,000 free credits a month. That's enough to research a few hundred keywords or run a small audit while you decide whether the product is for you.

Credits pay for live search data from our provider. 1,000 credits is roughly $1 of that spend. Anything that reads your own measured data — Search Console, Analytics, saved results — is free.

You have two balances. The monthly allowance resets on your renewal date and does not roll over. Top-ups never expire. Spending always draws from the monthly allowance first, so a top-up bought mid-cycle isn't wiped by the reset.

Every paid call is checked against your balance before it runs and recorded after, so the usage chart on the billing page reflects exactly what was spent and on what.

IndexZero runs an MCP server at /mcp with 33 tools — the same ones the dashboard uses, spending the same credits.

Clients that support OAuth need only the URL; they'll open a browser window for you to approve. For scripts or anything without an OAuth flow, create an API key on the AI & MCP page and send it as an x-api-key header.

Your agent is told which tools cost credits and asked to confirm anything over ~2,000 credits before running it.

The crawler is robots-aware and sitemap-seeded, stays on your origin, and checks 27 technical and on-page issue types. It samples 10 pages for Lighthouse scores on both mobile and desktop.

Crawls run in the background and take minutes, not seconds. Page budgets are capped by plan — a request above your cap is trimmed to it rather than rejected, so you still get an audit.
