How it works

Three steps to get started

Connect Ahrefs to Sequel

In your Sequel dashboard, go to Connections and add Ahrefs. Sequel handles authentication and schema discovery automatically.

Add Sequel to the agent

Follow the steps below to add Sequel to dots. It signs in with your Sequel account over OAuth, so there is no key to copy.

Ask dots about your data

Restart dots and start asking questions. "What's the domain rating and organic traffic for ahrefs.com?" — and get a real answer backed by live Ahrefs data.

Configuration

Add Sequel to dots

Use it in ChatGPT → Settings → Connectors (developer mode). dots signs in with your Sequel account over OAuth, so there is no API key to paste.

ChatGPT → Settings → Connectors (developer mode)

Server URL:
https://api.sequel.sh/mcp

Authentication:
OAuth, sign in with Sequel when ChatGPT asks

Then: Settings → Plugins → Sequel → Allow read-only tools

Install

Install Ahrefs MCP in dots

Pick your app and Sequel installs itself: a one-click link where the client supports it, that client’s own few steps where it doesn’t. Every route signs in with your Sequel account over OAuth, so there is no API key to copy and nothing to keep in sync.

Already have an MCP client?

https://api.sequel.sh/mcp

Add it as a remote (streamable HTTP) server and sign in when prompted. Skills come with it; nothing else to install. Manual setup per client

Add Sequel to dots

Server URL

https://api.sequel.sh/mcp

1In ChatGPT, open Settings and turn on Developer mode. It needs a paid plan, and in a workspace an admin may have to grant it.
2Add a connector, name it Sequel, paste the URL and leave authentication on OAuth. Sign in to Sequel in the window that opens.
3Under Settings → Plugins, set Sequel to “Allow read-only tools”.
4Your dot has it already. Ask it “which apps can you use right now?” to confirm.

Frequently asked questions

How do I connect Ahrefs to dots?

You need two things: (1) connect Ahrefs to Sequel in your Sequel dashboard under Connections, and (2) add the Sequel MCP config to dots using the setup shown above. Once both are done, dots can query your Ahrefs data directly.

What Ahrefs data can dots access?

dots can access any data available through your Ahrefs connection in Sequel. Use Sequel's search tool to discover available metrics and dimensions, then execute queries to pull the data you need.

Is my Ahrefs data sent to dots's servers?

Query results are returned to dots as context within your conversation. Only the data you explicitly ask about is retrieved. Sequel never stores your query results permanently — they exist only for the duration of the tool call.

Do I need a Sequel account?

Yes. You need a Sequel account to connect Ahrefs and generate an API key. Sign up free at sequel.sh — no credit card required. Then create a connection to Ahrefs and generate an API key from Settings → API Keys.

Can I connect multiple Ahrefs accounts?

Yes. Sequel supports multiple connections of the same type. If you have multiple Ahrefs accounts or properties, add each as a separate connection in Sequel. dots will be able to query all of them.
