MCP
Give your agent Ahrefs tools
Every Ahrefs action is exposed as an MCP tool on Pipedream's remote server. Point a client at it with your end user's ID and Connect resolves that user's Ahrefs account for each tool call — you store no tokens.
// accessToken: mint a short-lived token with the Connect SDK — see the MCP guide
const transport = new StreamableHTTPClientTransport(
new URL("https://remote.mcp.pipedream.net/v3"),
{
requestInit: {
headers: {
Authorization: `Bearer ${accessToken}`,
"x-pd-project-id": "{project_id}",
"x-pd-environment": "production",
"x-pd-external-user-id": "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
"x-pd-app-slug": "ahrefs",
},
},
},
)
const mcp = new Client({ name: "my-agent", version: "1.0.0" })
await mcp.connect(transport)
const { tools } = await mcp.listTools()
// e.g. run Get Backlinks:
const result = await mcp.callTool({
name: "ahrefs-get-backlinks",
arguments: {
target: "Target",
select: ["Select"],
},
})# access_token: mint a short-lived token with the Connect SDK — see the MCP guide

"Authorization": f"Bearer {access_token}",
"x-pd-project-id": "{project_id}",
"x-pd-environment": "production",
"x-pd-external-user-id": "{external_user_id}", # any stable ID for this user in your system

Call the Ahrefs API directly
For an endpoint with no pre-built tool, the Connect proxy forwards your request to the Ahrefs API with the connected user's credentials attached. You store no tokens and write no refresh logic.
const resp = await pd.proxy.get({
externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
accountId: "apn_xxxxxxx",
url: "https://api.ahrefs.com/v3/",
})
// Any allowed Ahrefs endpoint works here. Pipedream attaches the
// connected account's credentials to the outgoing request.# The path segment is the target URL, URL-safe base64 encoded:
# https://api.ahrefs.com/v3/
curl "https://api.pipedream.com/v1/connect/{project_id}/proxy/aHR0cHM6Ly9hcGkuYWhyZWZzLmNvbS92My8?external_user_id={external_user_id}&account_id=apn_xxxxxxx" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer {access_token}" \
-H "x-pd-environment: production"SDK
Run Ahrefs actions from your backend
Connect a user's Ahrefs account once, then run Get Backlinks on their behalf from your own code — TypeScript, Python, or plain HTTP.

const pd = new PipedreamClient({
projectId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_PROJECT_ID!,
clientId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_ID!,
clientSecret: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_SECRET!,
projectEnvironment: "production",
})
const result = await pd.actions.run({
id: "ahrefs-get-backlinks",
externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system

Ahrefs actions
On-demand operations your product or agent can configure and run on behalf of a connected user.
-
Get Backlinks
actionGet the backlinks for a domain or URL with details for the referring pages (e.g., anchor and page title). See the documentationRead-onlyv0.0.10 -
Get Backlinks One Per Domain
actionGet one backlink with the highestahrefs_rankper referring domain for a target URL or domain (with details for the referring pages including anchor and page title). See the documentationRead-onlyv0.0.6 -
Get Referring Domains
actionGet the referring domains that contain backlinks to the target URL or domain. See the documentationRead-onlyv0.0.18
No Ahrefs triggers are available yet.
MULTI-APP
Use Ahrefs with other popular apps
Most products don't stop at one integration. Pair Ahrefs with the other apps your users rely on, and ship use cases that span both.

OAuth scopes
These are the scopes Pipedream's managed Ahrefs OAuth client requests when one of your users connects an account. Supply your own OAuth client to request a different set.
