Semrush MCP

Ask about search volume and keyword difficulty in Claude, ChatGPT or any AI agent, from live Semrush data.

What is the Semrush MCP server?

Lemonado's Semrush MCP server gives Claude, ChatGPT and other AI apps your Semrush data: keyword positions, search volumes, competitor domains and backlinks. Connect Semrush to Lemonado, connect Lemonado to your AI, and ask where you lost rankings and what to write next. The same connection reaches Search Console, GA4 and Google Ads, so you can also see which keywords you pay for that you already rank for.

  • All your Semrush data

    Organic keyword positions and changes, ready to ask about.

  • Always today's numbers

    Competitor domains and their top keywords, synced from Semrush automatically, so answers use today's numbers.

  • Connect all your tools

    Questions like "Are we paying for rankings we have?" use Semrush and Search Console, Ahrefs at once.

Connecting takes minutes.

Is there an official Semrush MCP server?

Yes. Semrush runs a hosted MCP server. It needs a Semrush plan with API access, and every request uses your API units. It covers Semrush only, so your own Search Console clicks and ad spend stay out of the answer.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Semrush data comes through Semrush's API, so requests count toward your API units, the same as with Semrush's own MCP server. Questions about your own clicks and impressions can come from Search Console instead, which has no unit cost.

Connect your Semrush account in Lemonado, turn on External tools, and add Lemonado to Claude or ChatGPT. Each guide on this page has the exact steps. Use a Semrush account on a plan with API access, and add your domain and main competitors as projects. Then ask something like "Which keywords dropped out of the top 10 for us in the last 30 days, sorted by search volume?"

Yes. It's a standard remote MCP server (https://mcp.lemonado.io/mcp): one command in Claude Code, one entry in Cursor's mcp.json, and an MCP Client Tool with a Lemonado token in n8n. In a coding agent, try "For pages with Semrush keywords at positions 4 to 15, check the title tags in our code and list the ones missing the main keyword."

Yes. Besides answering in Claude or ChatGPT, Lemonado runs Semrush reports and alerts on a schedule, in Slack or email. For example: "Every Monday, send keywords that entered or left the top 10 last week, with search volume and the page that ranks."

It reads your Semrush data. Semrush stays untouched; the only changes Lemonado can make are in ad accounts you connect, and only once you approve them.

MCP is included in Lemonado's paid plans and in the free trial, so you can try it before you pay.
