FAQ

Rankbox and Kiro

Connecting, plans, privacy, and what the tools can do in Kiro.

Open the Command Palette and run Kiro: Open user MCP config (JSON). Add Rankbox and save. The server URL is https://rankbox.xyz/mcp.

Three things: find the questions people ask AI engines about a topic, build an SEO content brief for a keyword, and write meta descriptions for a page. Kiro calls them when you ask.

No. Rankbox's tools only receive the topic, keyword, or page summary Kiro sends when it calls them, and they send back research. They can't read your code or repositories.

No. The Rankbox MCP server comes with your Rankbox plan, including the free trial.

No. The MCP connection is for research and planning. To publish articles to your site automatically, connect it with one of Rankbox's website integrations or the REST API.
