Replaces single-vendor (Ahrefs-only) tool defaults with a per-task backend menu across all 14 SEO skills. Each skill now lists every capable MCP in allowed-tools and documents how to pick between Semrush, Ahrefs, OurSEO Agent (CLI + MCP), DataForSEO, and GSC in its SKILL.md Data Source Selection section. Tool stubs (~40 new files) populated per skill with capability deltas, call patterns, and explicit "not for this skill when" callouts so the menu is self-correcting. Skills affected: 19-keyword-strategy, 20-serp-analysis, 21-position-tracking, 22-link-building, 23-content-strategy, 24-ecommerce, 25-kpi-framework, 26-international, 27-ai-visibility, 28-knowledge-graph, 31-competitor-intel, 32-crawl-budget, 33-migration-planner, 34-reporting-dashboard.

Semrush MCP
Alternative backlink backend. Use when the user is already in Semrush context, wants a second opinion, or doesn't have an Ahrefs subscription. Ahrefs remains the default for backlink work in this skill.
Call pattern: discovery → get_report_schema → execute_report.
Key reports
backlink_research— referring domains, backlink count, anchor distribution- Authority Score (Semrush's equivalent of Ahrefs DR)
- Toxic Score for risk flagging
Example
mcp__semrush__backlink_research(query="<domain>", database="us")
mcp__semrush__get_report_schema(report_id="<id>")
mcp__semrush__execute_report(report_id="<id>", params={...})
When to use over Ahrefs
- User explicitly prefers Semrush data.
- Cross-vendor verification ("does Semrush agree with Ahrefs on this referring domain?").
- Authority Score weighting instead of DR.
Not for this skill when
- Default backlink work — Ahrefs has the stronger backlink graph; use it unless the user named Semrush.
- Korean platform refdomains — both Semrush and Ahrefs underrepresent Naver Blog/Cafe/Tistory; supplement with WebSearch.
