backlinkmcp-server

Get an editorial-authority score for a domain (weighted toward high-trust wiki/edu/gov/news referrers, from BacklinkMCP's proprietary web-scale link index). Returns a domain_rating-style score plus referring domain count.

  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "domain": {
      "type": "string",
      "description": "Root domain, e.g. 'stripe.com'."
    }
  },
  "required": [
    "domain"
  ]
}

Return the top 25 domains linking to a given domain, ranked by the linking domain's own authority, with link counts. Good for a quick competitive/backlink-profile skim.

}

Full backlink payload for a domain: total inlink count plus the ranked list of linking domains (authority + outbound link count per linker). Returns up to 100 rows on Pro, 25 on the free tier; use domain_authority_score for just the headline number.

Live-verify backlinks: fetches linking domains' homepages RIGHT NOW and confirms an actual href to the target domain exists on each. Complements the index with real-time proof. Only homepages are fetched, so 'not_found' means 'no link on the homepage today', not 'the link is gone'. Checks the top 8 linkers by default (max 15).

{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "domain": {

Competitor backlink-gap analysis for link building. Given YOUR domain (the `domain` arg) and 1-3 competitor domains, returns domains that link to the competitor(s) but NOT to you, ranked by the linking domain's authority — a warm outreach shortlist (aka competitor gap). Domain-level only: the index has no per-link URLs or anchor text, so each row is a DOMAIN worth pitching for a link, not a confirmed link or a specific page. CDN/analytics/marketing-widget/social noise is filtered out. Free mines 1 competitor and returns up to 25 prospects; Pro mines up to 3 competitors and returns up to 100.

{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "domain": {
      "type": "string",
      "description": "YOUR root domain — the site you want more backlinks for, e.g. 'yoursite.com'."
    },
    "competitors": {
      "type": "array",
      "items": {
        "type": "string"
      },
      "description": "Competitor root domains to mine for gap prospects (1-3), e.g. ['rival1.com','rival2.com']. Free tier uses only the first."

Toxic / low-quality backlink audit: scans a domain's LINKERS and flags spammy disavow CANDIDATES — abused TLDs (.tk/.xyz/.loan…), spam keywords in the domain, hyphen/keyword stuffing, and link-farm-level outbound counts. The inverse of find_link_prospects. Domain-level heuristic only (no per-link URL/anchor), so each row is a DOMAIN worth REVIEWING, never a confirmed toxic link. Note: Google says most sites should NOT disavow — use this to audit, not to auto-disavow. Free returns up to 25 flags, Pro up to 100.

{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "domain": {
      "type": "string",
      "description": "The domain whose inbound links you want to audit for toxic/spam linkers, e.g. 'yoursite.com'."
    }

Multi-domain backlink overlap: given 2-4 domains, returns the domains that link to MORE THAN ONE of them, ranked by overlap (how many of the set they link) then authority. Answers 'who links my whole niche?' — the must-have publications, directories, and roundups your competitors all share. Domain-level only (no per-link URL/anchor). Free compares 2 domains, Pro up to 4; returns up to 25 rows free / 100 Pro.

AI Visibility / GEO audit. Asks a panel of AI models a buyer-intent question ('what's the best <category>?') and reports whether YOUR brand gets recommended, who the models prefer instead (share-of-voice across the panel), WHY the leader wins — diagnosed against BacklinkMCP's own authority/link data (referring-domain gap) — and which domains to earn links from to catch up. Two modes: `parametric` (default — the models' baked-in brand memory) or `retrieval` (live web-search models = what the AI answers right now, SEO-driven). **Pro plan only** (runs a live multi-model AI panel): 8 models × 3 prompts × up to 4 competitors per report.

Audit which AI crawlers a site allows or blocks in robots.txt — sorted by CONSEQUENCE: blocking a VISIBILITY crawler (OAI-SearchBot, PerplexityBot, ChatGPT-User, Claude-User…) removes the site from live AI answers, while blocking a TRAINING crawler (GPTBot, CCBot, Google-Extended…) only opts out of model training. Those need opposite decisions. Checks 25 known AI crawlers + whether /llms.txt exists, plus general robots.txt hygiene (Sitemap directives, whole-site Disallow foot-guns). Free (no LLM calls).

Fetch a page and audit core on-page SEO signals: title/meta description length, canonical tag, heading structure, image alt text coverage, viewport tag, robots meta, word count. Returns a list of concrete issues found. Single page only — not a site crawl.
