## Documentation & 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](https://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.
