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.

Google Search Console
GSC is the first-party data source for clicks / impressions / CTR / position in the reporting dashboard. Every other source for these metrics is modelled — when GSC is available, it is the authoritative source and should drive the corresponding dashboard sections.
Tools used in dashboard sections
| Section | Source |
|---|---|
| First-party clicks trend | our research search-console pages --days 90 |
| First-party impressions trend | our research search-console pages --days 90 |
| Average CTR | computed from pages or queries |
| Top branded queries | filter queries output |
| Top non-branded queries | filter queries output |
| Cannibalization flags | our research search-console combined --days 90 |
CLI
our research search-console queries --site sc-domain:<domain> --days 28
our research search-console pages --site sc-domain:<domain> --days 90
our research search-console combined --site sc-domain:<domain> --days 90
sc-domain: prefix for Domain-verified properties.
Ahrefs GSC alternates (when project connected)
mcp__ahrefs__gsc-performance-history(project_id="<id>")
mcp__ahrefs__gsc-pages-history(project_id="<id>")
mcp__ahrefs__gsc-positions-history(project_id="<id>")
mcp__ahrefs__gsc-ctr-by-position(project_id="<id>")
mcp__ahrefs__gsc-anonymous-queries(project_id="<id>")
Reporting rule
Whenever GSC feeds a section, list it in the report's Sources subsection with the date window (e.g., Clicks / Impressions: GSC (28d, 2026-04-16 → 2026-05-14)).
Use consistent windows across reporting periods — switching from 28d to 90d silently changes every CTR number on the page.
Not for this skill when
- Competitor performance sections — GSC is single-site.
- Modelled traffic-value (USD) — Semrush
overview_research. - Net-new keyword discovery sections — Semrush / Ahrefs.
- GA4 sessions / conversions —
our research ga4 *.
