What it does

Once installed, this skill lets an AI agent query Ahrefs, a paid SEO data service, for live figures such as a site's rating, referring domains, backlink profile, organic keywords and content search results. The agent cites Ahrefs as the source for each number, prefers Ahrefs over Moz when they disagree, and hands multi-source comparisons to a companion backlink skill. It only works after an Ahrefs API token is set up and a helper server is installed.

Great for

  • SEO specialists who already pay for an Ahrefs subscription and want AI-assisted reports
  • Agencies auditing a client's backlinks, referring domains or organic keywords
  • Developers building SEO reporting workflows on top of the claude-seo toolkit

Skip it if

  • Users without an Ahrefs API token, since the data is paywalled and the skill cannot function without it
  • Batch jobs of 50 or more URLs without first checking the metered cost, because API usage is billed per unit
  • Anyone expecting a fully sandboxed tool: installing it runs scripts on your machine and sends queries to Ahrefs over the network

Try asking

  • “/seo ahrefs metrics https://example.com to get domain rating, referring domain count and organic traffic estimate”
  • “/seo ahrefs backlinks https://example.com to list top referring domains and the follow/nofollow ratio”
  • “/seo ahrefs organic https://example.com to see organic keywords and traffic by country”
  • “/seo ahrefs content remote work tools to review top Content Explorer results and their referring domains”

Get better results

  • Run the install script and confirm an Ahrefs MCP tool is visible in the session before asking for reports; the skill will stop and tell you if it is missing
  • Estimate cost before any batch of 50 or more URLs and check your Ahrefs unit balance, since usage is metered
  • Review the fetched data yourself before acting on it; the skill treats page and API content as untrusted and reports embedded instructions rather than following them
