Why connect Semrush to Zed?

Zed's Agent panel can call MCP servers, which Zed calls context servers, while it edits your files. Connected through Lemonado, it reads your Semrush keywords, positions, competitors and backlinks, so it can find keywords you're about to lose 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.
