Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check Backlinkmcp Server every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

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

backlinks

backlinks_for_domain

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.

common

common_linkers

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.

core

core_web_vitals

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.

crawler

ai_crawler_audit

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).

domain

domain_authority_score

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.

flag

flag_toxic_links

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.

indexnow

indexnow_submit

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.

link

find_link_prospects

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.

schema

schema_validate

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).

site

site_audit

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.

top

top_linkers_for_domain

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.

verify

verify_link_live

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).

visibility

ai_visibility_report

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.

Backlinkmcp Server — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Backlinkmcp Server do?

It exposes 13 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: ai_crawler_audit, ai_visibility_report, backlinks_for_domain, common_linkers, core_web_vitals, domain_authority_score and 7 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 Backlinkmcp Server working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 92 of 92 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 211 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect Backlinkmcp Server?

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

Does Backlinkmcp Server need an API key?

No. Backlinkmcp Server completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 13 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is Backlinkmcp Server?

It answers our handshake in 211 ms on average, which is faster than 59% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.

Is Backlinkmcp Server open source?

We cannot say either way: 0 stars on GitHub, but we could not determine the licence, and without one the code is not open source by default.
