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 reporting dashboard, Ahrefs is the source for backlinks, DR + history, traffic-value alternate, Brand Radar AI visibility, and per-country traffic breakouts.
Namespace: mcp__ahrefs__* / mcp__claude_ai_Ahrefs__*.
Tools used in dashboard sections
| Section | Endpoint |
|---|---|
| Backlinks / DR | site-explorer-domain-rating, site-explorer-backlinks-stats |
| DR trend chart | site-explorer-domain-rating-history |
| Refdomains trend chart | site-explorer-refdomains-history |
| Traffic / visibility snapshot (alternate) | site-explorer-metrics |
| Traffic / visibility trend (alternate) | site-explorer-metrics-history |
| AI search visibility / SOV | brand-radar-sov-overview, brand-radar-sov-history |
| Cited pages in AI answers | brand-radar-cited-pages, brand-radar-cited-domains |
| Per-country traffic distribution | web-analytics-countries, site-explorer-metrics-by-country |
| First-party clicks/impressions (if connected) | gsc-performance-history, gsc-pages-history |
Example
mcp__ahrefs__site-explorer-metrics(target="<domain>")
mcp__ahrefs__site-explorer-metrics-history(target="<domain>", history="weekly")
mcp__ahrefs__brand-radar-sov-overview(brand="<brand>")
mcp__ahrefs__web-analytics-countries(domain="<domain>")
Strengths for the dashboard
- Pre-computed trend series — saves the dashboard from synthesizing trends from point-in-time pulls.
- Brand Radar is Ahrefs-only — required for AI-visibility report sections.
- Traffic value in USD cents — divide by 100 for USD when rendering.
Reporting rule
Whenever an Ahrefs endpoint feeds a section, list it in the report's Sources subsection (e.g., Backlinks / DR: Ahrefs site-explorer-domain-rating).
Not for this skill when
- First-party clicks / impressions / CTR — prefer GSC over
gsc-*Ahrefs alternates unless Ahrefs project is already configured. - Technical health section — OurSEO
audit_page/audit tech. - GA4 sessions / conversions —
our research ga4 *. - GBP local KPIs —
our collect gbp */our audit local.
Notes:
- Ahrefs data has ~24h freshness lag.
- Historical data window depends on Ahrefs subscription tier — fall back to point-in-time + manual snapshot history if needed.
