IndexNow MCP server (free)

​

How it works

1. Add the site as a project. The tool only submits URLs on domains that are projects in your CrakSEO account. Other URLs come back under skipped with the reason.
2. Host a key file. IndexNow proves you control the site with a key file at the site root, for example https://example.com/<key>.txt. If the file isn’t live, the result says so and links to the IndexNow setup page in the app (/app/indexing/setup). Sites connected through the CrakSEO WordPress plugin get the key file automatically.
3. Submit URLs. The tool sends up to 100 URLs per call to the IndexNow API, grouped by host.
4. Check results. Engines decide whether and when to crawl. Use Bing Webmaster Tools stats to see crawl activity.

​

Example

Use CrakSEO to submit https://example.com/new-post/ and https://example.com/updated-guide/ to IndexNow.

{
  "results": [
    { "target": "https://example.com", "ok": true, "submitted": 2, "detail": "accepted" }
  ],
  "skipped": []
}

Rules

• Only submit URLs on hosts you control. The key file is how engines check that.
• Submit when a page is added, updated or removed, not on a schedule.
• For Google, use sitemaps and Search Console. See Google Indexing API alternative.
