Data Dive offers both direct API access and MCP connectivity, allowing you to access your Data Dive data programmatically or connect supported AI tools directly to your account.
Who can use the API and MCP
API and MCP access are available to Standard and Enterprise customers.
You must also have full admin rights for your Data Dive organization to access the API and MCP connection pages.
Starter plans do not include API or MCP access.
Using the Data Dive API
Create your API key
- Go to:
https://2.datadive.tools/api-key - Create your API key from the page.
- Use the API documentation to review available endpoints, parameters, authentication requirements, and examples.
Keep your API key secure. Treat it like a password and avoid sharing it publicly.

Using Data Dive with AI tools (MCP)
Data Dive supports MCP (Model Context Protocol), allowing compatible AI assistants such as Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and others to connect directly to your Data Dive account.
Instead of writing API calls yourself, you can ask the AI to work with supported Data Dive data using natural language.
For example:
- “List my niches and show which ones were researched this month.”
- “Show the master keyword list for this niche.”
- “How have my keyword rankings changed over the last two weeks?”
- “Are there any indexing or blind-spend alerts on my account?”
You can set up and manage MCP connections here:
The MCP page includes setup instructions for supported AI tools and lets you manage tools that have been authorized to access your Data Dive organization.
Unlike the previous local MCP setup, the current Data Dive MCP connection is hosted and connects through a secure authorization flow.
Connecting an AI tool
Go to:
Select the AI tool you want to connect and follow the setup instructions shown on the page.
You’ll be asked to authorize access to your Data Dive organization as part of the connection process.
You do not need to manually copy your Data Dive API key into the AI assistant when using the hosted MCP connection.
What can AI tools do with Data Dive?
Once connected, an AI assistant can use supported Data Dive tools to retrieve and work with your account data.
Available actions include things such as:
| Area | Examples |
|---|---|
| Niches | List niches, retrieve niche keywords, keyword roots and competitor data |
| Rankings | View Rank Radars and historical keyword rankings |
| Seller accounts | View seller profiles, catalog data and listing changes |
| Alerts | Review indexing and blind-spend alerts |
| Account usage | Check quotas and usage |
| Research | Create or refresh niche dives |
| Rank tracking | Create Rank Radars |
Some actions only read existing data, while others can create new research or tracking and may consume your plan's available tokens or quota.
For actions that consume Data Dive resources, the assistant will ask for confirmation before proceeding. Your AI tool may also display its own permission prompt.
Managing access
From the Data Dive MCP page, you can review and manage AI tools that have been authorized to access your organization.
You can revoke an individual MCP connection at any time without needing to regenerate your API key.
Privacy and control
When an AI tool uses Data Dive through MCP, Data Dive processes the requests made to Data Dive on your behalf.
You can review or revoke connected AI tools at any time from:
For more information about how Data Dive handles data, see our Privacy Policy.
Troubleshooting
I can't access the API or MCP pages.
Confirm that your organization is on a Standard or Enterprise plan and that your user has full admin rights.
My AI tool cannot connect.
Return to the Data Dive MCP page and follow the setup instructions for your AI tool again, making sure you complete the Data Dive authorization step.
The connection used to work but has stopped.
Disconnect the AI tool and reconnect it from the MCP page.
The assistant says Data Dive data is unavailable or an action failed.
Try the request again. If the issue continues, confirm that the same data or functionality is available directly in your Data Dive account and contact our support team if needed.
Why is the assistant asking me to confirm an action?
Some Data Dive actions, such as running research or creating tracking, consume tokens or other plan resources. Confirmation is required before those actions are performed.
