Nothing is contacted on a default install. Ahrefs Domain Rating API — api.ahrefs.com When: only after an administrator saves an Ahrefs APIv3 key and enables the tool under Easy MCP AI → External Data → Ahrefs (it is OFF by default — nothing is contacted on a default install). Thereafter: when an authorized MCP client calls the wp_ahrefs_domain_rating_free tool, and once each time an administrator saves the key or presses Test Connection on the External Data screen (both validate the key against Ahrefs). What is sent: your Ahrefs APIv3 key, as an Authorization: Bearer header, plus the target domain or URL supplied with the call. No WordPress credentials or personal data are transmitted. Terms: https://ahrefs.com/legal/domain-rating-license Privacy: https://ahrefs.com/legal/privacy-policy Semrush API — api.semrush.com, www.semrush.com When: only if an admin saves a Semrush API key. What is sent: the configured Semrush API key plus the parameters supplied per call (target domain, target URL, keyword/phrase, database/region code, display limits). Terms: https://www.semrush.com/company/legal/terms-of-service/ Privacy: https://www.semrush.com/company/legal/privacy-policy/ DataForSEO — api.dataforseo.com When: only if an admin saves a DataForSEO account login + API password. What is sent: the configured DataForSEO login + API password (HTTP Basic auth), plus the parameters supplied per call (keyword, target domain, target URL, location code, language code). Terms: https://dataforseo.com/terms-of-use Privacy: https://dataforseo.com/privacy-policy SE Ranking API — api.seranking.com When: only if an admin saves a SE Ranking API key. What is sent: the configured SE Ranking API key (sent as an Authorization token) plus the parameters supplied per call (target domain, target URL, keyword, region/source code, search engine, display limits). Terms: https://seranking.com/legal/terms-of-service.html Privacy: https://seranking.com/legal/privacy-statement.html Google Analytics 4 Data API & Google Search Console API — analyticsdata.googleapis.com, searchconsole.googleapis.com / www.googleapis.com/webmasters/v3 (token exchange via oauth2.googleapis.com) When: only if an admin uploads a Google service-account JSON. What is sent: a signed JWT minted from the service-account key, plus the chosen target and per-call parameters — for Analytics, the GA4 property id and report definition (dimensions, metrics, date range, filters); for Search Console, the site URL and query parameters (date range, dimensions, URL to inspect, sitemap URL). Terms: https://policies.google.com/terms Privacy: https://policies.google.com/privacy Easy MCP AI connection diagnostics (optional) — easymcpai.com When: only if you click the Diagnose Connection button on the Easy MCP AI dashboard. The plugin never contacts this service on its own — it simply opens the page in a new browser tab. What is sent: only your site’s address (its hostname), so the diagnostic page can check that your MCP endpoint is reachable. No credentials, content, or personal data are sent.
