Why connect Semrush to Windsurf (Devin Desktop)?

Windsurf's agent works across your files and terminal, but on its own it can't see what your campaigns are doing. Connected through Lemonado, it reads your Semrush keywords, positions, competitors and backlinks, so it can check paid keywords you already rank for with today's numbers.

  • 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.

    Ask Windsurf (Devin Desktop) about Semrush

    Try "Compare last month's Semrush numbers with the targets in config/targets.json and update the file where we're consistently off." Or ask: "Which pages compete with each other?" or "Do titles match the keywords?"

Good to know

  • Devin Local and legacy Cascade keep separate setups, so sign in to each one you use.
  • Current versions keep user MCP config in ~/.config/devin/mcp_config.json on macOS and Linux.

Compare last month's Semrush numbers with the targets in config/targets.json and update the file where we're consistently off.

2 of 6 targets were missed three months running. I updated them in config/targets.json and left a comment with the numbers behind each change.
