Who it is for
SEO and market research people who need figures rather than general guidance.
Overview
Semrush publishes quantitative marketing data, and this MCP connection returns it as structured datasets rather than prose. Coverage runs to domain analytics, keyword metrics, backlink profiles, and traffic split by period and by channel.
Market-level material sits beside the per-domain numbers: audience geography, demographic breakdowns, and competitive or industry indicators.
The connector is meant to be called whenever a question needs measured figures instead of an estimate, including questions phrased as requests for advice. A prompt asking how a site might improve still resolves first to pulling that site's actual numbers.

Advice-shaped questions are routed to measured data before any interpretation happens.
Availability
Semrush Holdings, Inc. ships this on both marketplaces: Semrush is listed in the Claude connectors directory and in the ChatGPT apps directory, under the same publisher domain.
Only 392 of the 3,150 products in this directory are listed in both marketplaces. One MCP server can serve both surfaces; what differs is each platform's listing and review process.
ChatGPT listing
Claude listing
Semrush publishes 14 tools to Claude. That is a mid-sized surface: 56.6% of the 1,253 Claude-listed connectors expose fewer.
The median Claude-listed connector filed under Sales & Marketing publishes 18, so this one sits 4 tools below its bucket's median, 54th of 94.
It falls in the 11-20 tools band, which holds 22.5% of the Claude directory.
Semrush publishes a remote MCP endpoint. Claude connects to it over HTTP; there is nothing to install locally.
Every connector in the Claude directory is remote, all 1,253 of them, so transport is not a differentiator there.
https://mcp.semrush.com/claude/v1/mcp Semrush carries partner verification in the Claude directory, which 474 of 1,253 listings do (37.8%). That is a review step past self-publishing, not an Anthropic-built server.
In the publisher's words
Semrush data helps you plan and improve SEO, uncover competitor strategies, find keyword opportunities, research backlinks, audit websites, and reveal paid tactics.

This is an independent catalogue entry compiled by Node8 from Semrush's public marketplace listings as they stood in August 2026. Listing facts come from the marketplaces; the comparisons against the rest of the directory and any live-endpoint measurements are Node8's. Node8 is not affiliated with Semrush Holdings, Inc., and inclusion here is not an endorsement.
Node8 builds MCP servers end to end: deciding which tools are worth exposing, the authentication and permission model, the review submissions, and the onboarding that gets them used. One server serves ChatGPT, Claude, and Microsoft Copilot.
