# Ahrefs MCP server for AI agents.

actionlake is an MCP gateway: one remote MCP server that connects Claude and other MCP clients to Ahrefs and the rest of your systems. It gives your agent 159 Ahrefs actions (138 reads, 13 writes and 8 that wait for a confirmation) and holds the Ahrefs credential itself, so the agent never does. It paces Ahrefs's limits and records every call.

[Connect Ahrefs free](https://actionlake.com/console?start=sandbox) [See pricing](https://actionlake.com/pricing)

100,000 free calls a month. No card, no email, no password: press Start a free sandbox on the next screen and keep the key it shows you.

`claude mcp add --transport http actionlake https://connect.actionlake.com/mcp`

the first call

```
do {
  action: "ahrefs.management.projects_list",
  intent: "check which Ahrefs account is connected"
}
# Management: Projects · read · 1 upstream call
```

- 159 actions in one signed file
- 138 read look, never change
- 13 write create and update
- 8 wait for a yes destructive, confirmed first

Set up

## Connect Ahrefs in three steps.

1. 01
   ### Add actionlake to Claude.
   Run the command once in Claude Code; its consent page can create a free sandbox: 100,000 calls a month, no card. In the Claude app, add a custom connector with the URL below and paste your key on the consent page. Creating a new sandbox from the Claude app is not yet tested by us.
   `https://connect.actionlake.com/mcp`
2. 02
   ### Connect Ahrefs.
   Bearer token. No consent screen: your agent can connect it for you, but the key then passes through your chat. To keep it out of the model's context, paste it in the console instead. actionlake stores what you paste write-only, sealed under your tenant's key.
   - `api_key` Ahrefs API key
   ```
   account { op: "connections.requirements", service: "ahrefs" }
   # free: exactly what to paste, and what is found for you
   ```
3. 03
   ### Make the first call. Check before a write.
   Ask in plain words; Claude picks the action. Before anything changes, `check` validates the call and prices it, for free.
   ```
   do    { action: "ahrefs.management.projects_list" }
   # management: projects · read · 1 upstream call
   check { action: "ahrefs.management.projects_create", input: { … } }
   # free: inputs, permissions, cost and confirmations, nothing sent
   ```

Top actions

## The Ahrefs API, shaped for agents.

The ids your agent types, what each does, and the one name it shares with other systems. 9 of Ahrefs's 9 action names are shared with at least one other connector, so an agent learns them once.

| Action | What it does | Effect | Same name in |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `ahrefs.management.projects_list` Management: Projects | Projects. | read | `work.project.list` 109 connectors |
| `ahrefs.management.projects_create` Management: Add Projects | Add Projects. | write | `work.project.create` 102 connectors |
| `ahrefs.management.projects_delete` Management: Delete Projects | Delete Projects. | destructive | `work.project.delete` 85 connectors |
| `ahrefs.social_media.channels_list` Social Media: Channels | Channels. | read | `comm.social_account.list` 4 connectors |
| `ahrefs.social_media.posts_create` Social Media: Create post | Create post. | write | `comm.social_post.create` 11 connectors |
| `ahrefs.social_media.posts_list` Social Media: Posts | Posts. | read | `comm.social_post.list` 9 connectors |

Try it

## Prompts to paste into Claude.

Each one names the Ahrefs actions it will call, so you know what it reads and what it changes before you send it.

1. Read read
   Give me a one-line status for every active Ahrefs project.
   calls `ahrefs.management.projects_list`
2. Write write
   Management: Add Projects in Ahrefs. Show me exactly what you will send before you save it.
   calls `ahrefs.management.projects_create`

Governance for Ahrefs

## Destructive actions wait for a yes.

8 Ahrefs actions are destructive. These are all of them:

- Management: Delete Projects `ahrefs.management.projects_delete`
- Social Media: Delete post `ahrefs.social_media.posts_delete`
- Management: Delete Keyword lists `ahrefs.management.keyword_lists_delete`
- Management: Delete Keywords `ahrefs.management.project_keywords_delete`
- Management: Delete Brand Radar prompts `ahrefs.management.brand_radar_prompts_delete`
- Management: Delete Competitors `ahrefs.management.project_competitors_delete`
- Management: Delete Keywords Tags `ahrefs.management.project_keyword_tags_delete`
- Management: Delete from Keywords list `ahrefs.management.keyword_list_keywords_delete`

A destructive action runs only with `confirm: true`. Under the `human` policy the agent cannot confirm for itself: the run stops until a named person approves, in the console or from a signed link in an email. The cap on a key is refused before the call is sent, never after.

do ahrefs.management.projects_delete confirm_policy: **human**

Management: Delete Projects?

**intent:** the user asked me to management: Delete Projects

run suspended · waiting for a named person · key _ahrefs-agent_ cannot confirm itself

In the console, or from an emailed signed link.

a key for this connector

```
account {
  op: "keys.create", name: "ahrefs-agent",
  allowed_actions: ["ahrefs.*"], cap_calls: 2000,
  confirm_policy: "human_for_writes",
  approval_rules: [
    { match: "ahrefs.management.projects_delete", approver: "lead@example.com" },
    { match: "ahrefs.social_media.posts_delete", approver: "lead@example.com" },
    { match: "ahrefs.management.keyword_lists_delete", approver: "lead@example.com" }
  ]
}
```

Illustrative. Scoped to Ahrefs only, capped at 2,000 upstream calls, every write confirmed, and the destructive ones approved by a named person.

Cost

## What Ahrefs costs on actionlake.

Every Ahrefs action is one upstream call, the only thing actionlake bills. Searching, `check`, `cost`, `account` and any call Ahrefs refused with 401, 403, 429 or a 5xx are free. Paid plans start at US$49 a month for 250,000 calls, with overage from US$0.30 down to US$0.18 per 1,000.

- 1 upstream call per action all 159 Ahrefs actions
- 159 actions page each page of a long list is one call
- 138 reads can be cached a cache hit costs nothing
- 100,000 calls a month, free paid plans from US$49 a month for 250,000

Questions

## The Ahrefs MCP server, answered.

**Is there an Ahrefs MCP server for Claude?**

Yes. actionlake is an MCP gateway: a remote MCP server that gives Claude, or another MCP client, 159 Ahrefs actions across web analytics, site explorer, management and brand radar, through the same eight tools it uses for every other connector. actionlake is independent; it is not made or endorsed by Ahrefs.

**What do I need to connect Ahrefs?**

Ahrefs API key. The free call account { op: "connections.requirements", service: "ahrefs" } lists exactly what to paste.

**Can an AI agent delete or change things in Ahrefs?**

Only if its key allows it, and only with an explicit confirmation. 8 Ahrefs actions are destructive, including management: Delete Projects, social Media: Delete post and management: Delete Keyword lists. Each runs only with confirm: true. Under the human confirm policy, or an approval rule on the key, the run waits until a named person approves it.

**Will an AI agent use up my Ahrefs API limit?**

actionlake paces every call to the limits in the Ahrefs service file: 60 calls a minute per connection. Repeated reads are answered from cache (138 Ahrefs actions can be), which never reaches Ahrefs.

**What does an Ahrefs action cost?**

One upstream call, the only unit actionlake bills. A list that pages bills one call per page (159 Ahrefs actions page). Cache hits, searches, dry runs and calls Ahrefs refused with 401, 403, 429 or a 5xx are free. The Free plan includes 100,000 calls a month with no card. Paid plans start at US$49 a month for 250,000 calls, with overage from US$0.30 down to US$0.18 per 1,000.

**Which Ahrefs API does it cover?**

The Ahrefs API v3 (OpenAPI 3.2.0) at api.ahrefs.com/v3. It is built from Ahrefs's documentation as read on 22 October 2026. 159 actions in 15 areas, each one in the signed service file (version 1.0.0).

**Does actionlake keep my Ahrefs data, and where?**

actionlake processes and stores data in Sydney, Australia; there is no US region yet. Reads may be cached for up to 15 minutes, and a write clears the reads it affects. Each run's request and response is kept, sealed, for your plan's trace window: 1 day on Free, 3 days on Starter, 7 days on Pro, 14 days on Team, 30 days on Business and 30 days on Enterprise. Your Ahrefs credential is sealed under your tenant's key, never logged and never returned. Your traffic is not used to train models.

**Which AI clients can use it?**

Claude Code, tested by us end to end, and the Claude app as a custom connector, tested by us with an existing key. Other MCP clients that support remote servers over Streamable HTTP (MCP revisions 2025-06-18 and 2025-11-25) and OAuth dynamic client registration, or a bearer header, should connect the same way; we have not tested them. Or plain REST, under the same action names.
