FAQ from Xmlriver Mcp
What authentication is required?
Register at xmlriver.com, top up your balance (minimum ≈100 ₽), and retrieve your numeric user ID and 40‑character hex key from the dashboard. Set XMLRIVER_USER and XMLRIVER_KEY as environment variables.
What are the runtime requirements?
Python 3.10 or later. No external SDK is needed; the server uses httpx, FastMCP, and a custom XML parser.
Where does the data come from?
All data is fetched from the XMLRiver API, which in turn queries Google and Yandex SERPs and Yandex Wordstat.
What are the known limits?
The XMLRiver API uses HTTP only (not HTTPS). The API key can be rotated from the dashboard if compromised. The MCP server uses stdio transport and logs only to stderr.
How is pricing structured?
Pricing depends on the tariff. For example, the Basic tariff charges 25 ₽ per 1,000 requests for Google, Yandex, and Wordstat; higher tiers (Pro, Mega, Giga) offer lower per‑request costs. Use the get_balance and get_cost tools to monitor spend.
