// backlinkmcp

Backlink data for AI agents.
The Ahrefs alternative your agent can actually use.

An MCP server + REST API for domain authority and backlink graphs — built so any coding agent, chatbot, or script can query it directly, no dashboard required.

Honest positioning: this is an editorial-authority graph computed from a 4.3B-edge Common Crawl snapshot — a point-in-time dataset, not a live crawler like Ahrefs/Moz/Semrush. Great for fast agent-side signal, not for real-time link-velocity monitoring.

Try it

Live query against the real engine — same call the API and MCP server make.

MCP install

Add as a remote MCP server in Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, or any MCP client.
