Backlink data is now available in OpenRush. Two new tools let your agent inspect a site's link profile and find the backlink gap against its competitors.

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 the backlink gap

`compare_backlink_gap` finds the sites that link to your competitors but not you: the backlink gap, computed across your rivals in a single call, ranked by authority and filtered for spam.

Use it to turn competitor link profiles into a prioritized outreach list: the high-authority, low-spam domains already linking to your rivals but not yet to you.

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.
