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.

Tools

Tool	What it does
`check_domain`	Get DR (0-100), rank, and referring domains count for any domain
`get_referring_domains`	List sites that link TO a target (competitor research, outreach)
`get_domain_info`	Detailed metadata + structure for a domain
