FAQ
Semrush MCP server questions
Is there an official Semrush MCP server?
Yes. As of October 2026, Semrush offers a hosted, read-only MCP server that uses your API units. MegaMCP connects Semrush with your own API key in the same connection as Search Console, GA4 and your ad platforms, with an explicit consent step before calls use API units.
What is a Semrush MCP server?
An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server lets AI assistants such as Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor use Semrush through tools. MegaMCP's hosted Semrush MCP server gives your assistant 3 read tools for domain overviews, organic keywords and backlinks.
Does the Semrush MCP server work with ChatGPT?
Yes. MegaMCP is a remote MCP server with OAuth sign-in, so one URL works in ChatGPT (as an app, with developer mode on), Claude (as a custom connector), Cursor, Claude Code and VS Code. Your AI app's own plan decides whether it can add custom MCP servers.
Can it make changes to my Semrush account?
No. MegaMCP's Semrush connection is read-only: it has no write tools, so your AI can report and analyze but can't change anything in Semrush. Customer API subscriptions and units apply. Admission bounds and explicit credit consent control calls; no automatic retries or pagination.
How do I connect Semrush to Claude or ChatGPT?
Save a dedicated Semrush API key, authorize vendor credit use, then enable and assign the account. Credential saving makes no vendor API call.
What does the Semrush MCP server cost?
Reading Semrush is free on MegaMCP's Free plan (100 reads a day, no card). Paid plans, from $19/month after a 5-day free trial, remove the daily limit, with unlimited runs and no credits. MegaMCP adds no markup: any subscription or API usage with the vendor stays between you and them.
Is my Semrush data safe?
Your Semrush credentials are encrypted at rest (AES-256-GCM) and bound to their connection, and MegaMCP never trains AI models on your data. Your AI only sees the accounts you switch on, members limited to certain clients only see those clients, and every tool call lands in the flight recorder.
