Details
From the project READMEmcp-backlink-checker
In the official MCP Registry (io.github.theluckystrike/backlink-checker).
Backlink checking for solopreneurs and small studios: does a page link to
your domain, dofollow or nofollow, with anchor text, HTTP status and robots
guards, read directly from your MCP client - Claude Desktop, Cursor, or any
MCP host. All checks run on demand, nothing stored.
Tools
"link_check"- check one page: does it link to your domain, dofollow or nofollow, with anchor text and HTTP status."link_audit"(Pro) - audit a batch of pages in one call, one verdict row per page."robots_guard_check"- read a page's robots rules before you touch it, so audits stay polite.
The one rule that decides everything else
Nothing is stored. Every call fetches the page live, parses the anchor, applies the robots guards, and reports - so a verdict is always about the page as it is now, never as it was.
Free vs Pro
The free tier is full single-page checking: link_check and
robots_guard_check, watermark-free, no per-day limits. Pro (an
MCP_LICENSE_KEY, activate with license_activate) adds batch
link_audit. Run license_status to see the current tier.

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
