Semrush's hosted MCP server gives Claude the Semrush SEO API, the Trends API and read-only project data through a compact set of research and report tools. Claude finds the right report, checks its parameters and runs it, spending the API units in your Semrush subscription.
Who it is for
- SEO and PPC teams
- Agencies reporting for clients
- Marketers researching competitors
