Ahrefs (Remote)

Ahrefs' official remote MCP server delivers live SEO data — keyword research, competitor analysis, backlink profiles, top-ranking pages, AI Overview / brand sentiment, dashboards, and exports — over a Streamable HTTP endpoint at api.ahrefs.com/mcp/mcp. It requires a paid Ahrefs subscription (Lite tier or higher) and consumes API units from your monthly allowance (shared with the direct API and Ahrefs Connect). Auth is an OAuth consent flow that mints a dedicated MCP-scoped key — note that MCP keys are NOT the same as Ahrefs API v3 keys. Feature the remote endpoint only: the ahrefs/ahrefs-mcp-server GitHub repo is officially archived and Ahrefs recommends against using it.
