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.

# Ahrefs MCP
|
|
|
|
In the KPI framework, Ahrefs owns **backlinks/DR**, contributes alternates for **traffic value** and **visibility**, and provides historical trend series. Namespace: `mcp__ahrefs__*` / `mcp__claude_ai_Ahrefs__*`.
|
|
|
|
## KPI dimensions served by Ahrefs
|
|
|
|
| KPI | Endpoint |
|
|
|---|---|
|
|
| Domain Rating | `site-explorer-domain-rating` |
|
|
| DR history (trend) | `site-explorer-domain-rating-history` |
|
|
| Backlink count + dofollow ratio | `site-explorer-backlinks-stats` |
|
|
| Referring domains (count + trend) | `site-explorer-refdomains-history` |
|
|
| Organic traffic estimate | `site-explorer-metrics` |
|
|
| Metrics history (trend) | `site-explorer-metrics-history` |
|
|
| Top pages traffic distribution | `site-explorer-top-pages` |
|
|
| First-party clicks/impressions (if GSC connected) | `gsc-performance-history`, `gsc-positions-history` |
|
|
|
|
## Example
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
mcp__ahrefs__site-explorer-metrics(target="<domain>")
|
|
mcp__ahrefs__site-explorer-metrics-history(target="<domain>", history="weekly")
|
|
mcp__ahrefs__site-explorer-domain-rating-history(target="<domain>", history="weekly")
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Strengths for this skill
|
|
|
|
- Backlink dimension is unmatched.
|
|
- Trend series are pre-computed — useful for period-over-period KPI charts.
|
|
- When GSC is connected to the Ahrefs project, first-party CTR / position history is available.
|
|
|
|
## Not for this skill when
|
|
|
|
- **Technical-health KPI** — OurSEO's audit + crawl is deeper.
|
|
- **GA4 / on-site engagement KPI** — `our research ga4 *` only.
|
|
- **GBP local KPI** — `our collect gbp *` / `our audit local` only.
|
|
- **Indexed pages count** — OurSEO `check_index` / GSC Coverage.
