FAQ
Questions Semrush API owners ask.
- 01
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.
- 02
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.
- 03
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.
