Connect Ahrefs to ChatGPT, AI citations charts, and more (October 2025)

The remote Ahrefs MCP server is now live. This means that you can connect ChatGPT, Claude, or Copilot to Ahrefs and let your AI assistant pull live Ahrefs data – no need to open the Ahrefs interface.

The best part: it’s hosted by Ahrefs, so there’s nothing to install or configure. Since the remote MCP is hosted by Ahrefs, you just need to connect your account and go.

For example, you can ask Claude: “Find high-volume, low-competition keywords for the gardening niche.” The MCP plugin connects, runs the query, and delivers live Ahrefs data right inside the chat.
