## Documentation

### Ahrefs MCP

Access real-time Ahrefs SEO data directly through Model Context Protocol to analyze websites, research keywords, track rankings, and make data-driven SEO decisions.

### First-Time Setup

If this is your first time using Ahrefs MCP, read references/setup.md for complete connection instructions. You'll need:

An Ahrefs account (Lite plan or higher)
To connect via the remote MCP server URL: https://api.ahrefs.com/mcp/mcp

After setup, return here for usage guidance.

### Core Capabilities

Ahrefs MCP provides access to:

Site Explorer - Domain metrics, backlinks, organic traffic, referring domains
Keywords Explorer - Search volume, keyword difficulty, SERP analysis, related keywords
Rank Tracker - Position tracking, visibility metrics, competitor rankings
Site Audit - Technical SEO issues, crawl data, site health
Content Explorer - Top performing content, content gaps

For detailed capability reference, see references/capabilities.md.

### 1. Understand the Request

Identify what SEO data is needed:

Domain/URL analysis → Site Explorer
Keyword data → Keywords Explorer
Position tracking → Rank Tracker
Technical SEO → Site Audit
Content ideas → Content Explorer

### 2. Query Ahrefs

Use natural language to request data. Examples:

"Get backlink profile for example.com"
"What's the search volume for 'best running shoes'?"
"Show me keyword difficulty scores for this list: [keywords]"
"Analyze competitor domains for example.com"
"Get current rankings from rank tracker project 'My Website'"

### 3. Analyze and Present

Present data in clear, actionable formats
Highlight key insights and opportunities
Suggest next steps based on findings
Cross-reference multiple data points when relevant

### Keyword Research + Cross-Reference

User provides keyword list
Query Ahrefs for each keyword's metrics (volume, difficulty, CPC)
Present consolidated analysis
Help prioritize based on criteria (difficulty vs. volume, intent, etc.)

See references/workflows.md for detailed workflow patterns.

### Competitive Analysis

Identify target domain and competitors
Compare domain metrics (DR, organic traffic, referring domains)
Analyze top organic keywords
Identify content gaps
Recommend opportunities

### Site Audit Review

Access site audit data for domain
Identify critical issues by severity
Prioritize fixes by impact
Provide technical recommendations

### When Ahrefs Connection is Missing

If the MCP connection is not configured:

Provide setup instructions from references/setup.md
Share the connection URL: https://api.ahrefs.com/mcp/mcp
Guide through the authorization process
Test connection before proceeding

### API Limits Awareness

Each plan has row limits per request and monthly API unit caps
Track usage in Account settings → Limits and usage
Enterprise users can purchase additional units
Design efficient queries to conserve units

### Best Practices

Be specific: Include target domain, date ranges, or specific metrics needed
Batch requests: When analyzing multiple keywords/domains, request data efficiently
Context matters: Cross-reference data points for deeper insights
Actionable output: Always provide recommendations, not just raw data
Verify before expensive queries: Confirm the scope before running large dataset requests
