# linklight

**The MCP server for SEO.** Plug linklight into Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, or any MCP client and let your AI agent find prospects, draft outreach, and monitor backlinks — you approve and send.

Dashboard included. But the agent is the point.

## 60-second setup

1. Sign in at [lightlinks.dev](https://lightlinks.dev) with Google.
2. Go to **Settings → API Access → Generate key**. Copy it.
3. Paste this into `~/.claude/settings.json` (or your MCP client's config):

   ```json
   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "linklight": {
         "type": "http",
         "url": "https://lightlinks.dev/api/mcp",
         "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer sk_ll_PASTE_YOUR_KEY_HERE" }
       }
     }
   }
   ```

4. Restart your MCP client. Ask your agent: *"List my linklight campaigns."*

## What your agent can do

| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
| `search_prospects(keyword)` | Find prospect sites for a topic (Tavily-backed, DA-enriched) |
| `find_competitor_backlinks(competitor_domain)` | Find pages linking to a competitor in roundups/alternatives lists — pass `my_domain` to get only NEW opportunities |
| `find_similar_prospects(url)` | Given one good prospect, return 20 more like it (Exa.ai neural search) |
| `enrich_domain(domain)` | DA + contact email + homepage title/description |
| `find_email(domain)` | Look up a contact email (Hunter) |
| `draft_email(topic)` | Write a personalised outreach email with a built-in spam score |
| `save_draft(prospect_id, subject, body)` | Save a drafted email against a prospect for you to review |
| `find_quick_win_keywords(site_id)` | Return striking-distance keywords (pages 2-3 with impressions) |
| `find_prospect_gaps(campaign_id)` | Prospects in a campaign missing an email, sorted by DA |
| `list_lost_backlinks(site_id)` | Backlinks currently broken, unreachable, or redirected |
| `list_campaigns` / `list_prospects` / `list_replies` / `list_backlinks` | Query your data |

Sending emails is **never** exposed as an MCP tool. Every send needs your manual approval in the dashboard.

## Example agent prompts

```
Find the top 20 prospects for "nextjs seo" with DA ≥ 40.
For each, draft a warm personalised email referencing their most recent post,
save each draft against the prospect, and show me the spam scores.
```

```
Who links to ahrefs.com in roundups or "best of" articles?
Exclude domains that already link to my site, and give me the top 15 by DA.
```

```
List my lost backlinks from the past 30 days, group by domain,
and tell me which ones are worth reaching out to.
```

```
For campaign "Q4 outreach", find prospects without emails and run find_email
on the top 10 by domain authority.
```
