MCP Server
Ahrefs MCP
The official hosted Ahrefs server for querying SEO, keyword, ranking, backlink, and competitive research data.
What is Ahrefs MCP?
Ahrefs MCP gives compatible AI clients a governed path into Ahrefs data without teaching the model to scrape dashboards. It can support keyword research, backlink investigation, ranking analysis, competitive comparisons, and report preparation using the workspace's API-unit allowance. The endpoint is intended for supported MCP clients and carries the same plan and usage constraints as the connected Ahrefs account.
