# Semrush MCP

**Not applicable** for AI search visibility / Brand Radar today. Semrush does not expose an equivalent product as of 2026-05.

Listed in this skill's `allowed-tools` only for forward compatibility if Semrush ships an AI-visibility product.

## Do not use Semrush for

- AI mentions / impressions / share of voice in AI answers
- Cited domains / cited pages in AI responses
- AI engine breakdown (ChatGPT / Gemini / Perplexity / Claude)
- Brand SOV history in AI search

## Use instead

- **Ahrefs Brand Radar** (`mcp__ahrefs__brand-radar-*`) — the only viable backend for the core capability today.
- **OurSEO `monitor_brand`** — for general web-mention monitoring (not AI-search specific) as a supplement.

## If a Semrush AI product ships

Update this stub and re-evaluate the Data Source Selection in `SKILL.md`. Until then, keep Brand Radar as the default and do not attempt to substitute Semrush.
