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
Required for migration baseline + post-launch monitoring. GSC is the only source for first-party impressions / clicks per URL pre-migration — modelled estimates from Semrush/Ahrefs cannot substitute.
CLI commands
# Pre-migration baseline (PULL THIS BEFORE THE MIGRATION DATE)
our research search-console pages --site sc-domain:<old-domain> --days 90
our research search-console combined --site sc-domain:<old-domain> --days 90
our research search-console queries --site sc-domain:<old-domain> --days 90
# Post-migration (after new domain is verified in GSC)
our research search-console pages --site sc-domain:<new-domain> --days 28
our research search-console combined --site sc-domain:<new-domain> --days 28
sc-domain: prefix for Domain-verified properties; URL-prefix uses plain URL.
Baseline checklist
Pre-migration, capture at minimum:
| File | Source | Window |
|---|---|---|
gsc-pages-90d.json |
our research search-console pages |
90 days pre-migration |
gsc-combined-90d.json |
our research search-console combined |
90 days pre-migration |
gsc-queries-90d.json |
our research search-console queries |
90 days pre-migration |
Store these alongside the OurSEO crawl baseline in the migration workspace.
Post-launch monitoring
- Wait for the new domain to verify in GSC (~24h after DNS propagation + sitemap submission).
- Pull
pagesandcombinedon the new domain at +7d, +14d, +28d, +60d, +90d. - Diff against the baseline: which URLs lost impressions? Which queries dropped?
- Cross-reference with OurSEO redirect verification — broken redirects are the most common cause of impression loss.
Ahrefs GSC alternates
If both old and new domains are connected as Ahrefs projects:
mcp__ahrefs__gsc-pages(project_id="<id>")
mcp__ahrefs__gsc-pages-history(project_id="<id>")
mcp__ahrefs__gsc-performance-history(project_id="<id>")
Not for this skill when
- Pre-migration baseline before GSC verification of the property — not possible. Get the domain verified well in advance.
- Competitor migration analysis — GSC is single-site.
