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"],
  },
})

API PROXY

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.

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.

import { PipedreamClient } from "@pipedream/sdk"

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
  configuredProps: {
    ahrefs: { authProvisionId: "apn_xxxxxxx" },
    target: "Target",
    select: ["Select"],
  },
})

EVENTS

Ahrefs triggers

Event sources your backend can deploy for users and receive through a webhook.

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.
