Overview

AI-generated overview

Local MCP server that lets an assistant look up backlinks, Domain Rating and expired-domain drops via the seo-backlinks.net API.

What you can do
  • Check a domain's Domain Rating, rank and referring-domain count
  • List the sites that link to a target domain for competitor and outreach research
  • Fetch detailed metadata and structure for a domain
  • List freshly expired domains that still have backlinks
  • Show top-ranked hosts across the web from Common Crawl data
When to use it
Useful for SEO research inside a chat assistant: comparing backlink profiles of competing sites, finding link prospects, or scanning expired domains for acquisition ideas.
Requirements
Runs locally via npx (Node.js) or a cloned build. Needs an seo-backlinks.net API key in the SEO_BACKLINKS_API_KEY environment variable; the free tier allows 3 checks per day. Network access to the seo-backlinks.net API is required, and the endpoint can be overridden with SEO_BACKLINKS_API_BASE.
Before you install
The API key is a secret passed in plain text through the client config. Without a key the server falls back to a demo key, so results may be limited. Queries go to the third-party seo-backlinks.net service, and heavier use requires a paid plan starting at $29 per month.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Seo Backlinks in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Desktop only via STDIO. STDIO servers start a local process, so they need the SourceWeft desktop host.

README

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.
