Using dataforseo-mcp-server v2.8.10 via npx in Claude Desktop, the Labs tools dataforseo_labs_google_ranked_keywords and dataforseo_labs_google_domain_rank_overview fail with Error: API Error: Invalid Field: 'language_code'. (Code: 40501). Other SERP tools in the same server work fine. The server was passing language_code: "en" to endpoints that do not accept it.

This is not an API bug: a cached old build from npx was the cause. Run npx -y dataforseo-mcp-server@latest so npx fetches the current build instead of reusing its cache, and the Labs endpoints stop sending the invalid language_code field. The maintainer verified the current build handles the payload correctly, and the reporter confirmed the error is gone after updating.
