Ahrefs

SEO & AI search analytics

Research keywords, analyze backlinks, track rankings, and monitor brand visibility across traditional search and AI platforms. Discover keyword opportunities, compare competitor performance, audit link profiles, and measure share of voice in LLM responses. Claude combines multiple Ahrefs analyses in a single conversation — asking clarifying questions, cross-referencing data points, and turning complex SEO metrics into actionable insights.

2Sign in

Run /mcp in Claude Code and complete the login flow for this server.

These instructions target Claude Code. Check the publisher's documentation for support in other Claude surfaces; a valid server URL alone does not establish compatibility.
