Backlink data is now available in OpenRush. Two new tools let your agent inspect a site's link profile and find referring domains that link to competitors but not to you.
Inspect a backlink profile
`inspect_backlinks` returns a domain's authority summary, backlink and referring-domain totals, dofollow ratio, spam score, broken-backlink count, top referring domains, and anchor-text distribution when available.
Ask your agent to review a domain's strongest referring sites, check anchor concentration, or flag suspicious links without moving the data through a separate dashboard.
Find competitor link gaps
`compare_backlink_gap` finds domains that link to one or more competitors but not to your site. Each result includes the referring domain, its rank and spam score, the competitors it links to, and an estimated value bucket.
If you do not have a competitor list yet, start with `discover_competitors`, then pass the relevant domains into the backlink-gap tool.
Use it with your agent
Both tools are available through the OpenRush MCP server and REST API. Connect an agent through the MCP setup page, or review the broader SEO MCP toolset to see how backlink analysis fits with keyword, competitor, SERP, and site-audit data.
