References

@skills/seo/references/mcp-degradation.md @skills/seo/references/ahrefs-api-reference.md

Inputs

• domain: The bare domain to analyze (e.g., example.com). Strip https://,

http://, and trailing slashes before passing to Ahrefs tools.

MCP Check

Before proceeding, verify Ahrefs MCP is available:

1. Use ToolSearch with query +ahrefs
2. If tools are returned → Ahrefs MCP is available, proceed to Execution
3. If no tools returned → display the Ahrefs MCP error template from

references/mcp-degradation.md and stop

Execution

Step 1 — Call Organic Keywords

Call mcp__claude_ai_ahrefs__site-explorer-organic-keywords with:

• target: the bare domain (e.g., example.com)

Returns per keyword: keyword, position, volume, cpc (CENTS), traffic, traffic_percent

Step 2 — CRITICAL: Monetary Conversion

cpc is returned in CENTS. Divide by 100 before display. Format as USD per click: $X.XX.

Example: API returns cpc = 250 → display as $2.50/click

Step 3 — Sort and Cluster

• Sort by traffic descending (highest-value keywords first)
• Identify top 3 keyword clusters by topic (group keywords sharing root terms

or intent — e.g., "seo tools", "seo software", "best seo tool" form one cluster)

Output Format

## Ahrefs Organic Keywords: example.com

Error — Ahrefs MCP Not Available

If MCP check fails, display the Ahrefs error template from references/mcp-degradation.md:

## Ahrefs MCP Not Available

The `/seo ahrefs keywords` command requires the Ahrefs MCP, which is not
currently connected.

**What you can do:**
- Use `/seo audit ` for a full static SEO analysis without live Ahrefs data
- Use `/seo technical ` for technical SEO issues without backlink/keyword data

**To connect Ahrefs MCP:**
- Ensure the Ahrefs MCP is registered at user scope in ~/.claude/mcp.json
- Verify with: cat ~/.claude/mcp.json | grep -i ahrefs
- Ahrefs MCP must be registered at user scope (not project scope) to work in subagents
