Placement API

Buy SEO link placements across every marketplace from one API or MCP server. Named, inspectable domains with live prices, independent verification, a survival record for every publisher we have bought from, and one invoice — paid with prepaid credits.

Website: https://placementapi.com · For agents: https://placementapi.com/agents · API reference: https://placementapi.com/api
MCP endpoint: https://api.placementapi.com/mcp (streamable HTTP, Bearer API key)
OpenAPI: https://api.placementapi.com/openapi.json · Field semantics: https://api.placementapi.com/v1/schema
Live market data: https://placementapi.com/data · Prices by type, DR and topic: https://placementapi.com/pricing

This repository holds the TypeScript client (sdk/, published to npm as placementapi) and the MCP registry manifest (server.json). The service itself is not open source.

Connect the MCP server

# Claude Code
claude mcp add --transport http placement-api https://api.placementapi.com/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer $PLACEMENT_KEY"

// Cursor / Windsurf / any host that takes a JSON config
{ "mcpServers": { "placement_api": { "url": "https://api.placementapi.com/mcp",
  "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer pk_live_…" } } } }

Claude.ai / ChatGPT: Settings → Connectors → add custom connector with the URL above and the Authorization header.

Tools

Tool	What it does
`search_placements`	Search ~550k priced placements deduplicated by domain, with verification, score and price plausibility on every row
`plan_links`	A brief in (links, topic, DR, budget, strategy) → a costed plan of named domains, each with `why`, held at price for four hours
`compare_domain`	Everything about one publisher: listings and spread, verification, web-graph, survival, outcomes, Placement Score, market reference
`target_profile` / `gap_map`	Your page's backlink profile and the competitor links you can reproducibly buy, priced
`keyword_winners`	What the sites that rank for a keyword look like, and what they buy
`place_order` · `submit_content` · `write_it_for_me`	Order at the held price; supply the article, let the publisher write it, or have it written
`list_orders` · `campaign_status` · `order_outcome`	Fulfilment, live checks and observed rank movement (observed, never attributed)
`standing_orders` · `create_standing_order`	Recurring plans; auto-placement can only be enabled from the dashboard
`check_balance` · `cancel_order`

Use the SDK

npm i placementapi

import { PlacementApi } from "placementapi";

const api = new PlacementApi({ apiKey: process.env.PLACEMENT_KEY! });
const quote = await api.quote({ links: 5, topic: "finance", dr_min: 50, strategy: "safest" });
for (const l of quote.lines) console.log(l.domain, l.price_credits, l.verification, l.why.join(" · "));

See sdk/README.md.

Things worth knowing

Credits are US cents. Prices on a quote are held for four hours; order with the quote_id to pay the held price.
verification says whether a domain's authority is real: ok, suspect (high link authority with no organic footprint — what a link farm looks like) or unverified. quality_reasons names which of five tests fired. Method: https://placementapi.com/research/quality-methodology
Suppliers are never identified. You see counts and spreads, never who. That is a product rule, not a gap.
why[] on every line is the factual basis for the pick, in sentences an agent can repeat.
