Backlink & domain authority MCP for AI agents: referring domains, link gap, toxic review queue
Available components
How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically against the live server, and we only credit what we can confirm. How we score → Why this is hard to score →
Endpoint Security66
- The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass
- Authorisation not fully verified: no authorisation is required to call this server, and 11 tool(s) never declared a destructiveHint. The MCP spec treats an absent hint as destructive by default, so we cannot call this surface safe. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Unverified
- HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path. View diagnostics → Pass
- The HSTS (Strict-Transport-Security) header is present. View diagnostics → Pass
- DNSSEC is configured correctly; the domain's records validate against the full chain to the root. View diagnostics → Pass
Transport & Reachability100
- Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake. View diagnostics → Pass
Schema Quality & AI Usability70
- AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 2311 tokens (~177/item across 13 items; 13 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params. See how to fix → Fail
- Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management97
- Stability observed for 29 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial
Tool Coverage100
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 100% of tool parameters carry a description.Pass
Tool Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- We read all 13 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 14 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities60
- Spec-recency check failed: implements MCP spec 2025-06-18; the latest is 2026-07-28. See how to fix → Fail
How do I install the io.github.johnsmalls22-rgb/backlinkmcp-server MCP server?
io.github.johnsmalls22-rgb/backlinkmcp-server is a hosted endpoint at https://backlinkmcp.com/api/mcp, so there is nothing to install locally. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 5 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

ai_crawler_audit AI crawler access audit ~154
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).
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| domain | string | yes | Root domain to audit, e.g. 'yoursite.com'. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
ai_visibility_report AI visibility report (Pro, spends credits) ~604
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.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| category | string | – | Optional shortcut used only if `prompts` is omitted — turned into one prompt 'What is the best <category>?', e.g. 'CRM for small business'. |
| competitors | array | – | Competitor root domains to track share-of-voice against and diagnose the winner, e.g. ['rival1.com','rival2.com']. Supplying the winner as a domain unlocks the link-gap diagnosis. |
| depth | string | – | 'draft' = cheap iteration pass (2 models × 1 prompt) for trying prompts/competitors. 'full' (default) = the whole panel. Draft costs 1 credit (2 for retrieval). |
| domain | string | yes | YOUR root domain — the brand you're measuring AI visibility for, e.g. 'yoursite.com'. |
| facts | array | – | Optional ground-truth facts about YOUR product (max 5), e.g. ['pricing starts at $29/mo','has a free tier']. When supplied, the panel is also asked what it knows about your brand and each fact is ver… |
| history | boolean | – | true = return the permanent archive of past runs for this domain (mention rate, rank, leader over time) instead of running a new panel. Costs no credits. Optionally combine with `mode` to filter para… |
| mode | string | – | 'parametric' (default) = the models' baked-in brand memory (cheap). 'retrieval' = live web-search models (what the AI answers now, SEO-driven; costs more credits). |
| prompts | array | – | Buyer-intent queries to ask the panel, e.g. ['best project management tool for a startup']. |
| samples | integer | – | Repeat draws per (prompt×model) cell (default 1, max 10). Answer engines are nondeterministic — more samples tighten the 95% confidence interval on your rates. Use samples>=5 for a defensible inclusi… |

No examples provided.
backlinks_for_domain Backlink profile ~79
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.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| domain | string | yes | Root domain, e.g. 'stripe.com'. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
common_linkers Common linkers across domains ~144
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.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| domains | array | yes | Root domains to intersect (2-4), e.g. ['a.com','b.com','c.com']. Free tier uses only the first 2. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
core_web_vitals Core Web Vitals ~80
Get Core Web Vitals (LCP, INP, CLS) and a performance score for a page via Google PageSpeed Insights — both a lab Lighthouse run and real-user CrUX field data when available.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| strategy | string | – | Test as mobile or desktop. Default 'mobile'. |
| url | string | yes | Full page URL to test. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
domain_authority_score Domain authority score ~74
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.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| domain | string | yes | Root domain, e.g. 'stripe.com'. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
find_link_prospects Competitor link gap ~212
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.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| competitors | array | yes | Competitor root domains to mine for gap prospects (1-3), e.g. ['rival1.com','rival2.com']. Free tier uses only the first. |
| domain | string | yes | YOUR root domain — the site you want more backlinks for, e.g. 'yoursite.com'. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
flag_toxic_links Toxic backlink review queue ~172
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.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| domain | string | yes | The domain whose inbound links you want to audit for toxic/spam linkers, e.g. 'yoursite.com'. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
indexnow_submit Submit URLs to IndexNow ~102
Submit one or more URLs to IndexNow for near-instant indexing by Bing and Yandex. Requires an IndexNow key that YOU control and have already hosted at https://<your-domain>/<key>.txt — this tool does not create that key for you.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| key | string | yes | Your IndexNow key, already hosted at https://<host>/<key>.txt |
| urls | – | yes | One URL or an array of URLs, all on the same host. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
schema_validate Structured data check ~69
Extract and validate JSON-LD structured data (schema.org) from a page. Checks JSON validity and flags missing recommended fields for common types (Article, Product, Organization, WebSite, BreadcrumbList, FAQPage, LocalBusiness).
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| url | string | yes | Full page URL to check for structured data. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
site_audit On-page SEO audit ~81
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.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| url | string | yes | Full page URL, e.g. https://example.com/page |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
top_linkers_for_domain Top linking domains ~62
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.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| domain | string | yes | Root domain, e.g. 'stripe.com'. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
verify_link_live Verify backlinks live ~166
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).
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| domain | string | yes | Root domain whose backlinks to verify, e.g. 'stripe.com'. |
