Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade C, and why

seo-ahrefs-content-gap scanned grade C with 2 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Reads agent configuration directoriesmediumAgent snooping

.claude/, .codex/, .gemini/ hold keys, settings and other credentials a mod has no legitimate need for.

- Verify with: cat ~/.claude/mcp.json | grep -i ahrefs

Reads MCP configurationmediumAgent snooping

mcp.json carries server URLs and auth tokens; reading it lets a mod discover and abuse other integrations.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 143 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Ahrefs Content Gap Analysis

Discovers keywords competitors rank for that the target domain does not, revealing content opportunities. Uses runtime schema discovery to choose the best available Ahrefs tool.

References

@skills/seo/references/mcp-degradation.md @skills/seo/references/ahrefs-api-reference.md

Inputs

  • domain: The bare target domain to analyze (e.g., example.com). Strip https://, http://, and trailing slashes.
  • competitors (optional): Up to 3 competitor domains, space-separated (e.g., competitor1.com competitor2.com). If not provided, auto-detect using Ahrefs organic competitors tool.

MCP Check

Before proceeding, verify Ahrefs MCP is available:

  1. Use ToolSearch with query +ahrefs
  2. If tools are returned → Ahrefs MCP is available, proceed to Execution
  3. If no tools returned → display the Ahrefs MCP error template from references/mcp-degradation.md and stop

Execution

Step 1 — Identify Competitors

If competitors parameter provided: use those domains directly.

If no competitors specified:

  • Call mcp__claude_ai_ahrefs__site-explorer-organic-competitors with target: the bare domain
  • Select top 3 competitors by common keyword overlap from the response

Step 2 — Runtime Schema Discovery for Content Gap Tool

IMPORTANT: The filter parameter for keywords-explorer-matching-terms that enables competitor-domain filtering is UNVERIFIED. Discover the schema at runtime:

  1. Use ToolSearch to load mcp__claude_ai_ahrefs__keywords-explorer-matching-terms
  2. Inspect the tool's parameter schema carefully
  3. Decision:
    • If the tool has a competitor/domain filter parameter → proceed with Approach A (direct filter)
    • If the tool has no such filter → fall back to Approach B (cross-reference)

Document which approach was used in the output.

Step 3A — Direct Filter Approach (if schema supports it)

For each competitor domain identified:

  • Call mcp__claude_ai_ahrefs__keywords-explorer-matching-terms with:
    • target: the competitor domain keyword or filter parameter (per discovered schema)
    • Apply any discovered competitor/domain filter to find keywords competitor ranks for
  • Cross-reference against target domain's keywords to identify gaps

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
