        Use the included interface to send a request to this template.

      • Gateway

        track-competitor-serps-readonly gateway

        This template sends its requests through track-competitor-serps-readonly gateway, where its access rules and limits apply.

      • Model

        track-competitor-serps-model

        This template uses track-competitor-serps-model through the track-competitor-serps-pool pool.

      Usage

      Hand this template to an AI agent to set up this template

      Node.js and npm to run npx.

      Dome CLI, installed with brew install dome-systems/tap/dome, then signed in with dome auth login.

      Docker Compose to run the companion app locally.

      1. 1

        Create a workspace

        dome workspaces create --name <workspace-name>

        The CLI creates and selects a workspace context for you.

      2. 2

        Confirm the workspace context

        dome context list

        The workspace you just created is already selected.

      3. 3

        Pull the template

        npx @domesystems/templates pull dome-systems/track-competitor-serps@0.1.1 --dir track-competitor-serps

        Downloads this immutable release and verifies its digest.

      4. 4

        Run the template

        npx @domesystems/templates up --dir track-competitor-serps

        Imports it into Dome and starts the companion app.

      Dome import variables

      npx @domesystems/templates up imports the template into Dome and prompts for required values. For unattended runs, set them as DOME_IMPORT_VAR_… environment variables.

      Required values

      • DOME_IMPORT_VAR_anthropic_api_key
      • DOME_IMPORT_VAR_google_oauth_client_id
      • DOME_IMPORT_VAR_google_oauth_client_secret

      Setup guide

      Follow this template's setup guidance for agent variables and upstream connections.

      # Set up Track Competitor SERPs
      
      This is a read-only composite, but it needs a model credential and every listed data source configured before it can run. Set up isolated test accounts or workspaces first, grant only the smallest read scope that exposes the test data, and store every credential only in Dome's secret inputs. Never put a key or secret in this repository, an agent prompt, or a chat message.
      
      ## Create the model credential
      
      - Create an API key in the [Anthropic Console](https://console.anthropic.com/settings/keys).
      - Enter the raw key as `anthropic_api_key` during import. Do not prepend `Bearer `.
      - The template uses that key only for its managed `claude-sonnet-5` model connection.
      
      ## Create the provider credentials
      
      - `google_oauth_client_id`: A Google OAuth client ID for an AI-powered agent.
      - `google_oauth_client_secret`: The Google OAuth client secret.
      
      For a provider that asks you to register a manual OAuth app, use this callback URL exactly:
      
      `https://api.domesystems.ai/oauth/callback`
      
      ## Set up each connected provider
      
      ### Connect Ahrefs
      
      This provider uses Dynamic Client Registration (DCR). Do **not** create or paste an OAuth client ID or client secret: after import, Dome registers the client and opens the provider's consent page.
      
      Ahrefs' hosted MCP server is read-only, and each request consumes API units.
      It is available on Ahrefs Lite and higher plans. Use the official
      [Ahrefs MCP guide](https://docs.ahrefs.com/en/mcp/docs/introduction) for the
      current endpoint, plan limits, and vendor-specific setup details.
      
      ## Recommended: OAuth consent
      
      OAuth is the normal way to connect an Ahrefs account to an MCP-compatible AI
      client. Ahrefs creates a dedicated API key with the `MCP` scope after consent.
      
      Start the shared Ahrefs OAuth connection after importing this composite, sign in
      to the intended account, and approve the consent screen. Confirm that the
      resulting connection appears in Ahrefs' API keys report; workspace
      administrators can adjust its per-key API-unit limit there. Then test with
      “Show the top organic pages for example.com” or “What are the remaining API
      limits?”
      
      OAuth-created MCP keys default to a 200,000 monthly API-unit limit per key.
      The workspace plan limit still applies.
      
      ## Alternative: Manually generated MCP key
      
      Use this option when a shared, non-interactive connection is required.
      
      - In Ahrefs, generate an MCP key for the intended account.
      - In Dome, create a separate API key/token tool connection instead of using
        this OAuth template.
      - Send the static credential as `Authorization: Bearer <MCP key>`.
      - Keep the value out of source control and local `.env` files, and rotate or
        revoke it in Ahrefs when access should end.
      
      ## Alternative: Enterprise API key
      
      Enterprise customers can connect with an Ahrefs API key instead. Create a
      separate API key/token tool connection and send
      `Authorization: Bearer <API key>`. API keys and MCP keys are not
      interchangeable, so use the credential type appropriate to the selected flow.
      
      ### Google Drive
      
      Before import, open [Google Cloud OAuth clients](https://console.cloud.google.com/auth/clients/create) and create a **Web application** OAuth client. Enable **Use this client for an AI-powered agent**, add `https://api.domesystems.ai/oauth/callback` as an authorized redirect URI, and copy the client ID and secret. In **APIs & Services → Library**, enable both **Google Drive API** and **Google Drive MCP API** for that same project. Configure the consent screen as **Internal**, or add the test user if it is **External**.
      
      - `google_oauth_client_id` and `google_oauth_client_secret`: enter values from a Google Cloud Web OAuth client configured as an AI-powered agent.
      
      Enable the Drive and Drive MCP APIs, register the redirect URI shown by Dome, and request only `https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.readonly`.
      
      ## Import and verify
      
      1. Import the template and provide the values above.
      2. Complete every browser OAuth flow with the intended dedicated test user. Token-based sources do not open a browser.
      3. Open **Tools**, refresh discovery, and confirm every connection is attached to the template gateway.
      4. Run the managed agent against known test data. Treat the template as verified only when the run succeeds **and calls at least one expected read-only tool**.
      
      If a connection is unreachable, check the provider section above for its callback, API/MCP enablement, token prefix, consent scopes, and user/workspace access before retrying.

      Runtime environment

      These variables are required to run the agent. During pull, .env.example is copied to .env when available. If they’re missing, npx @domesystems/templates up retrieves them from Dome and saves them in .env. Pass --provision to refresh them.

      Use connected tools only to retrieve information. Do not invoke tools that create, update, delete, send, approve, or change upstream state, even if a provider exposes them. Produce a clear answer with source-specific evidence, confidence, assumptions, and recommended human next steps. When an action is needed, draft or recommend it for a person to perform; do not perform it.
