Ahrefs MCP

Ask about referring domains and Domain Rating in Claude, ChatGPT or any AI agent, from live Ahrefs data.

What is the Ahrefs MCP server?

Lemonado's Ahrefs MCP server gives Claude, ChatGPT and other AI apps your Ahrefs data: backlinks, referring domains, organic keywords and top pages, for your site and any competitor. Connect Ahrefs to Lemonado, connect Lemonado to your AI, and ask which links you lost, which pages earn the traffic and where competitors beat you. The same connection reaches Search Console and GA4, so estimates sit next to your real clicks and conversions.

Always today's numbers

Is there an official Ahrefs MCP server?

Yes. Ahrefs runs a hosted MCP server on paid plans, and it's listed in Claude's connector directory. Free and trial accounts can't connect. It covers Ahrefs only, so your own clicks from Search Console and conversions from GA4 stay out of the answer.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

You need a paid Ahrefs plan with API access, because the data comes through Ahrefs' API. Free and trial accounts can't share data with any MCP connection, Ahrefs' own included. Requests count toward your plan's API units.

Connect your Ahrefs account in Lemonado, turn on External tools, and add Lemonado to Claude or ChatGPT. Each guide on this page has the exact steps. Use an Ahrefs account on a paid plan with API access. Free and trial accounts can't share data. Then ask something like "Which referring domains did we lose in the last 30 days, sorted by Domain Rating, and which pages were they linking to?"

Yes. It's a standard remote MCP server (https://mcp.lemonado.io/mcp): one command in Claude Code, one entry in Cursor's mcp.json, and an MCP Client Tool with a Lemonado token in n8n. In a coding agent, try "Find URLs with backlinks in Ahrefs that our routes no longer serve, and add redirects to the closest current page."

Yes. Besides answering in Claude or ChatGPT, Lemonado runs Ahrefs reports and alerts on a schedule, in Slack or email. For example: "Every Monday, list referring domains with DR over 50 that we lost last week, and the page they linked to."

It reads your Ahrefs data. Ahrefs stays untouched; the only changes Lemonado can make are in ad accounts you connect, and only once you approve them.

MCP is included in Lemonado's paid plans and in the free trial, so you can try it before you pay.
