Perplexity

Map out link profiles inside Claude Desktop

The `list_linking_domains` tool pulls every root domain pointing to your target URL directly into your chat window via this MCP connection. You ask Claude to analyze a competitor's backlink strategy, and it grabs the live list of referring domains instead of guessing from outdated training data. It checks specific connections using `fetch_link_status` to see if those links still exist. You don't have to leave the conversation to verify anchor text. Claude runs `list_anchor_text` and builds a table of exactly how sites link to your target. If you need to find overlapping links between three different competitors, the agent hits `fetch_link_intersect` and hands you a list of domains you should pitch next.

Track domain authority and spam scores via MCP Server

The `fetch_site_metrics` tool gives your agent instant access to Domain Authority, Page Authority, and Spam Score for any URL. When you paste a list of potential outreach targets into Claude, it runs `fetch_multiple_site_metrics` to score up to 50 domains at once. You get a prioritized list back in seconds based on actual Moz data. This integration also supports the newer v2 endpoints for bulk analysis. Your agent calls `v2_url_metrics` to process large batches of URLs while you type your next prompt. If you need historical context, `fetch_histories` pulls the daily or monthly changes so Claude can chart exactly when a site's authority spiked or dropped.

Audit top performing pages instantly

The `v2_top_pages` tool identifies the most linked-to content on any domain you ask Claude to investigate. You tell your agent to find a site's best assets, and it returns the exact URLs driving the most link equity. If you want to look at the entire internet, it can even hit `v2_global_top_pages` to see the top 500 pages in the entire Moz index. Claude tracks where that link equity actually ends up. It uses `v2_final_redirect` to follow complex redirect chains and find the actual destination URL. You pair this with `fetch_brand_authority` to get a complete picture of a brand's online footprint without ever opening a spreadsheet or logging into a dashboard.
