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 Grok Bot. It signs in with your Sequel account over OAuth, so there is no key to copy.
Ask Grok Bot about your data
Restart Grok Bot 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 Grok Bot
Use it in Grok Bot → chat (then Settings → Plugins → Yours). Grok Bot signs in with your Sequel account over OAuth, so there is no API key to paste.
Grok Bot → chat (then Settings → Plugins → Yours)
Add a custom MCP server called sequel at https://api.sequel.sh/mcp Then: confirm the name and URL when the bot asks, click Authorize on the connect card, and sign in to Sequel. Attach it in a chat with @sequel.
Install
Install Ahrefs MCP in Grok Bot
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

Frequently asked questions
How do I connect Ahrefs to Grok Bot?
You need two things: (1) connect Ahrefs to Sequel in your Sequel dashboard under Connections, and (2) add the Sequel MCP config to Grok Bot using the setup shown above. Once both are done, Grok Bot can query your Ahrefs data directly.
What Ahrefs data can Grok Bot access?
Grok Bot 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 Grok Bot's servers?
Query results are returned to Grok Bot 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. Grok Bot will be able to query all of them.
