Frequently asked questions
Are there additional charges for querying Semrush from my agent?
The Semrush API inherently consumes 'API Units' based on the weight of each request line (Keyword ranks, Domain analytics). You are completely bound to your established Semrush Business subscription rules. Vurb/MCP itself doesn't impose surcharges.
Can I filter SEO performance based on different global markets or languages?
Yes. Most core functions such as domain_overview and keyword_overview optionally accept a targeted string code array for Regional Databases (such as 'uk', 'fr', 'de', 'es', or strictly 'us'). Just specify it organically in your LLM chatting window.
Can it check a website's technical health natively?
Yes, through the specific site_audit directive. The AI agent will ingest the aggregated technical score corresponding directly to your preconfigured Semrush Project IDs, returning high-level data regarding crawled warnings and crawler fatal errors.
How do I add an MCP server to Claude Code?
Run claude mcp add <name> --transport http "<url>" in your terminal. Claude Code registers the server and discovers all tools immediately.
Can Claude Code run MCP tools in headless mode?
Yes. Claude Code supports non-interactive execution, making it ideal for scripts, cron jobs, and CI/CD pipelines that need MCP tool access.
How do I list all connected MCP servers?
Run claude mcp in your terminal to see all registered servers and their status, or type /mcp inside an active Claude Code session.
