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.

| KPI | Endpoint |
|---|---|
| Domain Rating | site-explorer-domain-rating |
| DR history (trend) | site-explorer-domain-rating-history |

Example

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 localonly. - Indexed pages count — OurSEO
