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 crawl-budget work, Ahrefs Site Audit surfaces **orphans, redirect chains, parameter URLs, and soft 404s** without running your own crawler. Useful when an Ahrefs Site Audit project already exists for the domain.
|
|
|
|
## Key endpoints
|
|
|
|
- `site-audit-projects` — list available projects
|
|
- `site-audit-issues` — current crawl-budget-relevant issues (redirect chains, broken links, parameter URLs)
|
|
- `site-audit-page-explorer` — per-URL issue surfacing
|
|
- `site-audit-page-content` — content-level signals (thin content, duplicates)
|
|
- `site-explorer-pages-history` — page count over time vs. observed bot crawls
|
|
|
|
## Example
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
mcp__ahrefs__site-audit-projects()
|
|
mcp__ahrefs__site-audit-issues(project_id="<id>")
|
|
mcp__ahrefs__site-audit-page-explorer(project_id="<id>")
|
|
mcp__ahrefs__site-explorer-pages-history(target="<domain>", history="weekly")
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Strengths for this skill
|
|
|
|
- Pre-computed orphan detection and redirect-chain surfacing.
|
|
- Pages-history helps validate "are we crawling pages that don't exist anymore?"
|
|
- Cross-reference Ahrefs indexed-page count with server log crawl data to spot indexing gaps.
|
|
|
|
## Not for this skill when
|
|
|
|
- **Actual bot behaviour at the origin** — only server access logs show this. Use `scripts/log_parser.py` + `scripts/crawl_budget_analyzer.py`.
|
|
- **First-party Googlebot crawl stats** — GSC Coverage / Crawl Stats reports.
|
|
- **Naver / Daum / Kakao bot analysis** — Ahrefs covers Googlebot well but underrepresents Korean bots; rely on logs.
|
|
- **No Ahrefs project exists for the domain** — fall back to Semrush `siteaudit_research` or OurSEO crawl.
