Ahrefs
SEO suite with AI content tools, brand visibility tracking, and MCP server.
About
Ahrefs is the SEO and marketing intelligence suite known for its backlink index and keyword research, and through 2025 and 2026 it has embedded AI across its workflow tools. The AI Content Helper is a content editor that grades drafts against top-ranking competitor pages, finds topical gaps, detects search intent, and offers in-line AI assistance for rephrasing and summarizing, with an AI Content Grader as a lighter diagnostic.
Brand Radar tracks how often a brand is mentioned or cited across AI answer engines like ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Copilot, plus Google Search, YouTube, TikTok, and Reddit. Since September 2025 the Ahrefs MCP server lets AI assistants such as ChatGPT, Claude, and Copilot pull live Ahrefs data directly into developer workflows without manual exports.
