Available tools 7

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

competitor

find_competitor_link_sources

Approximate the pages linking to a competitor using free web-search signals (domain mentions and brand mentions). De-duplicates by host and excludes the competitor's own domain. Not a complete backlink index — a free, directional starting point for prospecting.

extract

extract_contact_info

Fetch a page and extract contact emails (including de-obfuscated and mailto links) and social media handles (Twitter/X, LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, GitHub, YouTube).

generate

generate_outreach_email

Draft a short, personalized cold outreach email from a contact + context object using your own LLM key (BYOK). Returns a subject line and body. The API key is request-scoped and is never persisted or logged.

mentions

find_mentions

Find linked and unlinked mentions of a brand across the web via web search results. When a domain is supplied, classifies each mention as linked (on the brand domain) or unlinked (a third-party page — a potential backlink opportunity).

page

check_page_history

Return a Wayback Machine timeline for a URL: total snapshots, first/last archived dates, and a bounded list of snapshot records with direct archive links.

prospects

find_prospects

Find guest-post, resource-page, and roundup link-building prospects for a topic by running classic outreach footprints through web search and merging the results by host.

verify

verify_page_links

Fetch a page and confirm whether it contains a link to the target domain, reporting anchor text and rel attributes (nofollow/sponsored/ugc) and whether the link is dofollow.

AEO Backlink — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can AEO Backlink do?

It exposes 7 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: check_page_history, extract_contact_info, find_competitor_link_sources, find_mentions, find_prospects, generate_outreach_email and 1 more. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →

Is AEO Backlink working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 63 of 63 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 257 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect AEO Backlink?

Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.

Does AEO Backlink need an API key?

No. AEO Backlink completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 7 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is AEO Backlink?

It answers our handshake in 257 ms on average, which is faster than 55% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.

Is AEO Backlink open source?

The code is open source: it is published under the Apache-2.0 licence, written in TypeScript, 3 stars on GitHub and 13 open issues. The licence covers the code in the repository, not the hosted service at aeo.advancelabs.dev, which runs on its operator's own terms.
