The AI connector lets assistants that support custom connectors read Serpfull data and run checks while you chat. It's included on every plan; the setup steps for each assistant are in the AI connector documentation.

Permissions

  • Read: data and insights for the linked websites. Always included.
  • Run actions: start audits, rescans and link re-checks, add keywords or competitors, generate reports. Uses the plan's normal quotas.
  • Change settings: create and remove uptime monitors and bot protection rules.
  • Viewers can grant Read only; members up to Run actions; owners and admins all three.
Illustrative interface, sample dataPermissions are chosen per connection. Read is always included.

Safety

  • Each connection only sees the websites you ticked, and every tool checks the website belongs to it.
  • Removing anything needs an explicit confirmation from the assistant.
  • Access tokens last one hour; every request is logged in Settings → AI connections for 90 days.
  • Recordings are summarised without personal data.

How long does a connector access token last?

Good starting prompts

  • "Give me a health overview of example.com across every module."
  • "What are the five highest-impact SEO fixes this month?"
  • "Which competitors moved into the top 10 this week?"
