How to Install and Use KeywordsPeopleUse MCP

If you want to use KeywordsPeopleUse MCP, a Model Context Protocol server that helps with keyword research tasks, this guide will walk you through installing and setting it up easily. Follow these practical steps to start getting Google suggestions, questions from Reddit and Quora, semantic keywords, and more.

Step 1: Clone the KeywordsPeopleUse MCP Repository

First, you need to get the code files from GitHub. To do this, open your terminal or command prompt and run the following command. This copies the whole project to your machine.

git clone https://github.com/data-skunks/kpu-mcp.git

Now you have the KeywordsPeopleUse MCP files ready to use.

Step 2: Get Your API Key

KeywordsPeopleUse MCP requires an API key to access its features. To get the key:

• Go to KeywordsPeopleUse Settings.
• Find the API key section.
• Click "Show key" and copy the whole key.

After you have the key, create a file called .env inside the kpu-mcp folder. Open .env and paste this line, replacing with your actual key:

KPU_API_KEY=sk_01234567890123456789012345678901

This file safely stores your key for the MCP server to use.

Step 3: Install the Necessary Software Packages

Before running KeywordsPeopleUse MCP, you need Node.js and npm installed on your computer. To check if you have them, run:

node --version
npm --version

If these commands don’t work, download and install Node.js from nodejs.org.

Once Node.js is ready, go back to the kpu-mcp folder in your terminal and run this command to install all needed packages:

npm install

This prepares everything for KeywordsPeopleUse MCP to run correctly.

Step 4: Run KeywordsPeopleUse MCP Locally

Now you can start the MCP server. Still inside the kpu-mcp folder, run:

node index.js

This command launches the server on your machine.

Step 5: Connect KeywordsPeopleUse MCP to a Client (Example: Claude Desktop)

If you want to use this MCP server with a client like Claude Desktop, you need to add a configuration.

Open your Claude Desktop settings and go to Settings > Developer > Edit Config. Add the following (replace the path to where you saved your MCP files):

On MacOS/Linux:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "keywordspeopleuse": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/ABSOLUTE/PATH/TO/PARENT/FOLDER/kpu-mcp/index.js"]
    }
  }
}

On Windows:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "keywordspeopleuse": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["C:/PATH/TO/PARENT/FOLDER/kpu-mcp/index.js"]
    }
  }
}

Replace /ABSOLUTE/PATH/TO/PARENT/FOLDER/ with the actual complete file path on your computer.

Final Notes

After you finish these steps, restart Claude Desktop or your MCP client. You will find KeywordsPeopleUse MCP tools available, letting you get keyword suggestions and related questions easily.

This setup is simple, using just your terminal, API keys, and a little configuration. Follow this guide, and you’ll be ready to power your keyword research with KeywordsPeopleUse MCP in no time!
