Waleed 02b1de4faf fix(ahrefs): align tool coverage and outputs with the Ahrefs API v3 (#5367)
* fix(ahrefs): align tool coverage and outputs with the Ahrefs API v3

- 5 of 8 tools were missing the required `select` param (API v3 rejects
  list-endpoint requests without it) and 3 sent a `date` param the
  endpoint doesn't accept
- all list endpoints sent an `offset` param that doesn't exist on any
  Ahrefs v3 site-explorer endpoint (only `limit` is supported)
- domain_rating and backlinks_stats read response fields at the wrong
  nesting level and always returned zeros; several other tools mapped
  output fields to column names the API doesn't return (position, url,
  traffic, backlinks, dofollow_backlinks, http_code) instead of the
  real ones (best_position, best_position_url, sum_traffic,
  links_to_target, dofollow_links, http_code_target)
- keyword_overview used the wrong endpoint param entirely (`keyword`
  instead of `keywords`) so it always returned empty
- added ahrefs_metrics (site-explorer/metrics) and
  ahrefs_organic_competitors (site-explorer/organic-competitors) tools
- fixed docsLink to point at docs.sim.ai instead of ahrefs.com

* fix(ahrefs): default metrics country to us like every other tool

Greptile and Cursor Bugbot both flagged that ahrefs_metrics omitted
the country when unset, unlike every other country-accepting Ahrefs
tool, which silently returns global data instead of US data on
direct tool calls.

* fix(ahrefs): default history to all_time on backlinks and referring domains

Cursor Bugbot flagged that history was only sent when explicitly set,
even though the block UI defaults it to all_time — same class of gap
as the metrics.ts country fix, applied for direct tool-call consistency.

* feat(ahrefs): expose search intent flags on keyword overview

Adds the real intents field (informational, navigational, commercial,
transactional, branded, local) from keywords-explorer/overview, which
was verified valid against the live API docs but not yet surfaced.

Sim — Integrate, Context, Build, and Monitor AI agents

A workspace to build, deploy and manage AI agents and workflows.

Quickstart

Cloud-hosted: sim.ai

Open sim.ai

Self-hosted

npx simstudio

Open http://localhost:3000

Docker must be installed and running. Use -p, --port <port> to run Sim on a different port, or --no-pull to skip pulling the latest Docker images.

The Sim platform — chat on the left, the visual workflow builder on the right

Capabilities

  • Connect 1,000+ integrations and every major LLM
  • Add Slack, Notion, HubSpot, Salesforce, databases, and more
  • Build agents visually, conversationally, or with code
  • Ingest files, knowledge bases, and structured table data
  • Monitor runs, logs, schedules, and workflow activity

One workspace, every surface

Chat and workflows are just the start — tables, files, knowledge, and scheduled tasks all live in the same workspace.

Tables in Sim — structured data your agents can query

Tables — a database, built in

Files in Sim — documents for your team and every agent

Files — one store for your team and every agent

Knowledge bases in Sim — synced docs your agents can search

Knowledge — your agents' memory

Scheduled tasks in Sim — recurring agent runs on a calendar

Scheduled tasks — runs on your schedule

Self-hosting

Docker Compose

git clone https://github.com/simstudioai/sim.git && cd sim
docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml up -d

Open http://localhost:3000

Sim also supports local models via Ollama and vLLM. See the Docker self-hosting docs for setup details.

Manual Setup

Requirements: Bun, Node.js v20+, PostgreSQL 12+ with pgvector

  1. Clone and install:
git clone https://github.com/simstudioai/sim.git
cd sim
bun install
bun run prepare  # Set up pre-commit hooks
  1. Set up PostgreSQL with pgvector:
docker run --name simstudio-db -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=your_password -e POSTGRES_DB=simstudio -p 5432:5432 -d pgvector/pgvector:pg17

Or install manually via the pgvector guide.

  1. Configure environment:
cp apps/sim/.env.example apps/sim/.env
# Create your secrets
perl -i -pe "s/your_encryption_key/$(openssl rand -hex 32)/" apps/sim/.env
perl -i -pe "s/your_internal_api_secret/$(openssl rand -hex 32)/" apps/sim/.env
perl -i -pe "s/your_api_encryption_key/$(openssl rand -hex 32)/" apps/sim/.env
# DB configs for migration
cp packages/db/.env.example packages/db/.env
# Edit both .env files to set DATABASE_URL="postgresql://postgres:your_password@localhost:5432/simstudio"
  1. Run migrations:
cd packages/db && bun run db:migrate
  1. Start development servers:
bun run dev:full  # Starts Next.js app and realtime socket server

Or run separately: bun run dev (Next.js) and cd apps/sim && bun run dev:sockets (realtime).

Chat API Keys

Chat is a Sim-managed service. To use Chat on a self-hosted instance:

  • Go to https://sim.ai → Settings → Chat keys and generate a Chat API key
  • Set COPILOT_API_KEY environment variable in your self-hosted apps/sim/.env file to that value

Environment Variables

See the environment variables reference for the full list, or apps/sim/.env.example for defaults.
