seo-backlinks MCP Server
MCP server that lets Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, and other AI agents check backlinks, domain rating, and expired-domain drops directly via seo-backlinks.net.
Built on Common Crawl data — 4.3B backlinks indexed, 262M hosts ranked.
What it does
Ask Claude:
- "What's the Domain Rating of nytimes.com?"
- "Show me the top 10 sites linking to stripe.com"
- "List today's expired domains with backlinks under $50 potential"
- "Compare backlink profiles of ahrefs.com vs semrush.com"
Claude will use this MCP server to query the seo-backlinks API and give you the answer inline.
