Ahrefs Universal MCP Server

This repository contains an implementation of an Ahrefs Universal MCP (Model Context Protocol) server. It provides a standardized interface for interacting with Ahrefs's SEO and backlink analysis tools through a unified API.

The server is built using the Universal MCP framework.

This implementation follows the MCP specification, ensuring compatibility with other MCP-compliant services and tools.

Usage

You can start using Ahrefs directly from agentr.dev. Visit agentr.dev/apps and enable Ahrefs.

If you have not used universal mcp before follow the setup instructions at agentr.dev/quickstart

Available Tools

The full list of available tools is at ./src/universal_mcp_ahrefs/README.md

Local Development

📋 Prerequisites

Ensure you have the following before you begin:

• Python 3.11+ (recommended)
• uv (install globally with pip install uv)

🛠️ Setup Instructions

Follow the steps below to set up your development environment:

1. Sync Project Dependencies

   uv sync
   

   This installs all dependencies from pyproject.toml into a local virtual environment (.venv).

2. Activate the Virtual Environment

   For Linux/macOS:

   source .venv/bin/activate
   

   For Windows (PowerShell):

   .venv\Scripts\Activate
   

3. Start the MCP Inspector

   mcp dev src/universal_mcp_ahrefs/mcp.py
   

   This will start the MCP inspector. Make note of the address and port shown in the console output.

4. Install the Application

   mcp install src/universal_mcp_ahrefs/mcp.py
