What you can do with this MCP connector
Yo, this Moz SEO Metrics Server is what you need to run deep link research and competitive intelligence right through your AI client. It connects your agent directly to the Moz API so you can stop guessing about a site's authority and start knowing the score. You audit Domain Authority (DA) and Page Authority (PA), map out every single incoming backlink, figure out what kind of anchor text people are using on those links, and check how many outgoing links a domain even has—all without leaving your chat window.
Auditing Site Authority:
You wanna know if a URL is legit? You use get_url_metrics to check its core metrics. It spits out the Domain Authority (DA), Page Authority (PA) scores, the spam score, and the total link counts for any address you throw at it. Want to compare three sites right now? Just run parallel checks on multiple domains; you get side-by-side link count and spam score comparisons instantly.
Mapping Link Profiles:
When you're looking at a site’s links, you can go way deeper than just counting them. You use get_incoming_links to pull an explicit list of every external link pointing right to your target domain; that tells you exactly where the traffic is coming from and what authority those sources have.
Want to know how many total root domains are linking out there? Run get_linking_domains for a summary count and a list of all connecting boundaries.
But it's not just about what points to a site. You can also see where the site is pointing. get_outgoing_links lists external links that originate from your target domain, mapping out its entire outbound structure so you know exactly what it's linking to. If you want to find the biggest players in SEO generally, run global_top_domains for a static list of high-authority root domains worldwide, or use global_top_pages for a view of the top web pages indexed by Moz’s global system.
Deep Dive Link Analysis:
This is where you get granular. You can run get_top_links, which retrieves the highest-ranking backlinks for any site, sorted specifically by their Domain Authority score so you know which ones matter most. To see what content within a domain is getting the love, use get_top_pages to query and list the most highly linked pages that exist internally or externally.
And if you need to figure out why people are linking to a site, run get_anchor_text. This reads the exact percentage breakdown of anchor texts across every single backlink pointing to your target domain.
Understanding Internal Structure:
If you want to know what links come from the current page, that's get_outgoing_links; if you wanna see what pages are getting linked to, it’s covered by get_top_pages. If you need a full picture of the site’s whole structure and link equity boundaries, these tools give it to you.
You can also get a summary count of all linking domains using get_linking_domains.
Keeping Tabs on Your Budget:
It's important you know your limits. Use get_usage to display your current API usage statistics and exactly how many rows you’ve got left to use, so you don’t run out of research budget halfway through a big project.
How Moz SEO Metrics MCP Works
- 1 First, subscribe to the server and input your specific Moz API V3 Token.
- 2 Next, prompt your AI client with a clear task, like 'Compare DA for A and B' or 'List top links for C'.
- 3 The agent invokes the necessary tools (e.g.,
get_url_metrics) and returns structured data about link metrics directly to you.
The bottom line is: You talk to your AI client, and it handles all the complex API calls needed for SEO research.
Who Is Moz SEO Metrics MCP For?
SEO specialists who need deep link analysis without switching between multiple tools. Digital marketers who track competitive site metrics on the fly. Content strategists needing to validate content potential using real-world backlink data.
Uses get_url_metrics and get_top_links to audit domain authority, check link equity, and find weak spots in a client's site structure.
Runs comparative analyses using multiple domains and the get_incoming_links tool to benchmark against competitors.
Analyzes anchor text distribution with get_anchor_text to ensure content clusters are naturally linked, improving semantic density.
What Changes When You Connect
- Stop guessing about rankings. Use
get_url_metricsto instantly get DA, PA, and spam scores for any URL you check, letting you know the true ranking potential before committing time or money. - Build a full backlink audit. By running
get_incoming_links, you immediately see who is linking to your site, allowing you to track resource value and identify link gaps. - Understand content power with
get_top_pages. This tool shows which pages on your domain are getting the most internal links, telling you exactly where to focus optimization efforts. - Run deep competitor comparisons. The server lets you compare multiple sites simultaneously—for example, comparing three competitors' link counts and spam scores in one go.
- Optimize content flow with
get_anchor_text. This tool analyzes how naturally your site is referenced by others, helping you fix weak or overly aggressive linking patterns.
Real-World Use Cases
A client needs a quick competitive health check.
The marketing director wants to know why their competitor's authority (Moz.com) is higher than theirs. They ask the agent to run get_url_metrics on both domains and then use get_top_links to identify the top 5 source sites contributing to the lead domain's score.
Identifying content gaps across a large site.
The content strategist notices key landing pages are underperforming. They ask the agent to use get_top_pages on the root domain, identifying high-equity assets they should update first. Then, they run get_anchor_text to see if those top pages have enough diverse linking.
Validating a link building campaign.
The SEO specialist launched a new outreach campaign and needs proof of concept. They use the agent to run get_incoming_links for their target URL, checking if the newly acquired source sites are accurately reflected in the incoming backlink data.
Benchmarking against industry leaders.
The product manager needs a high-level view of market leaders. They ask to check global_top_domains and then use get_url_metrics on the top 3 results, comparing their DA scores against known industry benchmarks.
The Tradeoffs
Trying to find all links in one query.
A user tries to ask: 'Give me every link and its score.' This prompt is too broad because it mixes incoming, outgoing, and internal data types.
→
You need specific tools. If you want external links pointing at your site, use get_incoming_links. If you want to see what links you put out, run get_outgoing_links.
Confusing authority with ranking.
A user assumes a high link count means the site ranks well. High volume doesn't equal current performance or quality score.
→
Always start by checking get_url_metrics. This tool gives you DA, PA, and spam scores—these are better indicators of ranking potential than just raw link counts.
Overlooking the scope difference between global and specific checks.
A user runs global_top_domains but assumes that list represents their direct competitors or industry peers.
→
The global tools give general benchmarks. For actual competitive intelligence, you must specify domains and use get_url_metrics to get targeted data.
When It Fits, When It Doesn't
Use this server if your goal is deep technical auditing of link equity, domain authority, or backlink structure. You need to know why a site ranks—is it the authoritative sources (get_top_links), the overall score (get_url_metrics), or the natural language usage (get_anchor_text)? This server provides that granular data.
Don't use this if you just want simple keyword volume estimates (use dedicated keyword tools instead). Also, don't rely on it for general website uptime checks; its focus is purely on SEO metrics. If you only need to know a site's basic link count without authority context, running get_url_metrics still gives you the most comprehensive picture because it provides DA and PA alongside the counts.

Available Capabilities
Manually auditing backlink profiles feels like digging through digital dirt.
Today, figuring out a site's link profile is a nightmare. You jump between Moz’s dashboard, Google Search Console, and multiple third-party tools, copy-pasting URLs into every field just to check the DA score or count incoming links. It takes hours of manual clicking and spreadsheet work.
With this MCP server, you simply ask your agent: 'What is the link profile for XYZ?' The system runs `get_url_metrics`, pulls the data from Moz's index, and gives you a clean summary right in the chat. You get metrics immediately—no dashboard switching required.
Moz (SEO Metrics & Link Research) MCP Server: See real link equity data.
Before, analyzing how a site was linked to meant running separate reports for incoming links and then manually checking the source's authority. You couldn't compare multiple targets against each other without exporting dozens of files.
Now, you tell your agent what you need—say, 'Compare link metrics for Competitor A and B.' The server runs `get_url_metrics` on both domains at once, giving you a side-by-side comparison. It simplifies complex data into actionable insights.
Common Questions About Moz SEO Metrics MCP
How do I check the overall authority of a domain using get_url_metrics? +
Run get_url_metrics and specify the root domain. This tool returns Domain Authority (DA), Page Authority (PA), spam score, and total link counts for that address.
What is the difference between get_incoming_links and get_top_links? +
get_incoming_links lists all sources pointing to a domain. get_top_links, however, filters that list to show only the highest-authority links based on DA.
Can I find out which pages are most important using get_top_pages? +
Yes. Running get_top_pages queries the domain and returns a list of pages that have accumulated the highest volume of internal and external links, identifying high-equity assets.
How do I check my API quota using get_usage? +
Simply call get_usage. This tool provides real-time tracking of your Moz API row consumption, letting you manage your research budget and avoid service interruption.
What does using the get_anchor_text tool reveal about my domain’s link profile? +
It shows you the literal distribution of keywords used in backlinks pointing to your site. This helps identify if your anchor text is natural or too focused on a single keyword, giving you insight into semantic density.
How do I use get_outgoing_links to audit my own website’s link health? +
This tool retrieves all external links originating from your target domain. You can check if you are sending users to high-quality, relevant sites, ensuring your outgoing links support your content strategy.
What is the scope of the global_top_domains tool? +
The global_top_domains function extracts static lists of top root domains worldwide. You use it to benchmark your site against industry leaders across the entire web, not just within a niche market.
Can I compare multiple sites at once using get_url_metrics? +
Yes, you can pass several domain names in one request. This lets you perform side-by-side metric comparisons—like DA, PA, and Spam Score—which is essential for quick competitive intelligence.
What is the difference between DA and PA in Moz? +
Domain Authority (DA) predicts how well a whole website will rank, while Page Authority (PA) predicts the ranking potential of a single page. Your agent can retrieve both metrics using the get_url_metrics tool to guide your SEO strategy.
How do I check the anchor text distribution for my backlinks? +
Use the get_anchor_text tool with your target domain. Your agent will retrieve a mapped list of terms and their occurrence counts, helping you identify if your link profile looks natural or over-optimized for specific keywords.
Can my agent find the best pages on a competitor's site? +
Absolutely. Use the get_top_pages tool with the competitor's domain. Your agent will return a list of their highest-authority pages, allowing you to see which content pieces are attracting the most link equity.
