What can I do with the Mentiohunt API today?

Read access to your account: opportunities and their outreach sequences and reply messages, discovery run history, tracked-link status, and aggregate stats like reply rate and links won. It's read-only for now — creating or editing prospects still happens in the dashboard.

Is this a backlink index like Ahrefs or Semrush?

No. Mentiohunt's API doesn't return a global backlink index for arbitrary domains. It exposes the opportunities, outreach, and results already generated for your own account — the same data your dashboard shows, just callable from code.

What's the difference between the REST API and the MCP server?

Same data, two ways in. The REST API is a standard bearer-token HTTP API for scripts and internal tools. The MCP server exposes those same endpoints as tools an AI agent like Claude or Codex can call directly, so you can ask about your pipeline in plain language instead of writing requests.

Do I need to be a developer to use the MCP server?

No. Setting it up means pasting a config block with your API key into Claude Desktop or Codex — no code required. Calling the REST API directly does assume you're comfortable making HTTP requests.

Is API and MCP access included in my plan?

It's available on the Pro and Agency plans. Create keys and connect a client from Settings → Agents.

How is authentication handled?

Personal API keys, sent as a bearer token. Keys are shown once at creation — only a hash is stored afterward — and can be revoked anytime from the dashboard.

What you can build

Your backlink pipeline, in code.

The same data your dashboard renders — reachable from a script, a report, or an AI agent you already use.

REST API

Every read your dashboard can do, callable from code.

Opportunities, sequences, messages, discovery runs, tracked links, and stats — paginated, filterable, and scoped to your account. Build a report, sync a CRM, or wire up your own alerting.

MCP server

Claude and Codex can query your pipeline directly.

Paste one config block into Claude Desktop, Claude Code, or Codex and the agent gets tools for your opportunities, replies, and stats — no custom integration to write.

Personal, revocable keys

Scoped to your account. Nothing more.

Each API key is tied to your account and the products you own — not a shared org-wide credential. Revoke a key the moment a script or agent no longer needs it.

How it works

Three steps from key to first query

No sales call, no contract, no integration to build. Create a key in the dashboard and you are querying your own pipeline minutes later.

Create a key

Generate a personal API key from the Agents tab. It's scoped to your account and shown once — only a hash is stored after that.

Connect REST or MCP

Call the REST API directly with a bearer token, or paste the MCP server URL into Claude or Codex's config so the agent can query your pipeline in natural language.

Read your pipeline programmatically

Pull opportunities, sequences, replies, tracked links, and stats — the same data your dashboard shows, available to your own scripts or an AI agent.

What you need
