What this template gives you
Interface
A chat window, in your browser
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
Create a workspace
dome workspaces create --name <workspace-name>The CLI creates and selects a workspace context for you.
- 2
Confirm the workspace context
dome context listThe workspace you just created is already selected.
- 3
Pull the template
npx @domesystems/templates pull dome-systems/track-competitor-serps@0.1.1 --dir track-competitor-serpsDownloads this immutable release and verifies its digest.
- 4
Run the template
npx @domesystems/templates up --dir track-competitor-serpsImports 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_keyDOME_IMPORT_VAR_google_oauth_client_idDOME_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.
