You can connect Ahrefs to Relato so your AI Content Agents pull SEO data straight into their work. This page is the short version. The full connect flow lives in the parent article below.

Once Ahrefs is connected, an agent can query Ahrefs while it researches and drafts. Common uses:

These are research inputs. The agent uses them to shape better briefs and drafts, not to publish.

In Relato, open Settings > Integrations > MCP > Add account, paste the Ahrefs MCP URL, approve the OAuth prompt, and name the account. The name you choose prefixes Ahrefs tools in the agent tool picker. Then attach the Ahrefs tools plus the Relato query and project tools to an agent, and set a trigger: a project stage change, a schedule, or a manual run. You usually attach these to a research or brief-building agent. For the full walkthrough, read Connect any MCP to Relato.

Build a brief-builder. Trigger it when a project moves into your research stage. Give it the Ahrefs tools plus the Relato query and project tools. Tell it to look up the target keyword, read the difficulty, search volume, and top backlink signals, then write a short SEO section into the project brief. Now every writer, human or agent, opens the project with the numbers already in place.

Relato's MCP integration is OAuth-based. You can connect Ahrefs if it runs an OAuth-capable MCP server that Relato can reach. If a public OAuth MCP for Ahrefs does not exist yet, tell us at [email protected] and we will help you find the right path.

Do I need my own Ahrefs plan? Yes. The MCP connects your own Ahrefs access to Relato, so your usage and limits are your account's.

Which agent should hold the Ahrefs tools? A research or brief-building agent. Keep the tools on the agent that gathers inputs, not on the one that ships copy.
