Connect OpenClaw to Ahrefs
Set up in minutes
Choose where it runs
On your computer through your own OpenClaw, or hosted in the cloud. The rest of setup adapts to your choice:
Pick what it can do in Ahrefs
A preset of real Ahrefs operations. Each one becomes a tool the agent can call, and it can't touch anything outside the list.
Connect Ahrefs
One sign-in. The agent acts through your account, scoped to the operations you picked.
Add your personal MCP link
The last step mints a private MCP URL for this agent and walks you through exactly this, with your real link filled in. The page flips to Connected the moment your OpenClaw first calls in. OpenClaw probes the server while adding it, so this lights up during openclaw mcp add.
Run this in your terminal
<your-link> is your personal server URL — setup mints it for you.
