Replaces single-vendor (Ahrefs-only) tool defaults with a per-task backend menu across all 14 SEO skills. Each skill now lists every capable MCP in allowed-tools and documents how to pick between Semrush, Ahrefs, OurSEO Agent (CLI + MCP), DataForSEO, and GSC in its SKILL.md Data Source Selection section. Tool stubs (~40 new files) populated per skill with capability deltas, call patterns, and explicit "not for this skill when" callouts so the menu is self-correcting. Skills affected: 19-keyword-strategy, 20-serp-analysis, 21-position-tracking, 22-link-building, 23-content-strategy, 24-ecommerce, 25-kpi-framework, 26-international, 27-ai-visibility, 28-knowledge-graph, 31-competitor-intel, 32-crawl-budget, 33-migration-planner, 34-reporting-dashboard.

# Semrush MCP
|
|
|
|
Use for **per-database organic visibility** across markets — Semrush's database-per-market model is well-suited to international SEO comparison.
|
|
|
|
Call pattern: discovery → `get_report_schema` → `execute_report`.
|
|
|
|
## Per-market comparison pattern
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
# Pull organic positions per database (one call per target market)
|
|
mcp__semrush__organic_research(query="<domain>", database="us")
|
|
mcp__semrush__organic_research(query="<domain>", database="kr")
|
|
mcp__semrush__organic_research(query="<domain>", database="jp")
|
|
mcp__semrush__organic_research(query="<domain>", database="cn")
|
|
mcp__semrush__organic_research(query="<domain>", database="de")
|
|
|
|
# Cross-market visibility deltas surface content-parity gaps from a ranking perspective
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Key reports
|
|
|
|
- `organic_research` — keywords/positions per `database`
|
|
- `overview_research` — domain traffic per market
|
|
- `siteaudit_research` — site-wide audit (catches hreflang issues with limitations)
|
|
- `keyword_research` — per-market keyword expansion
|
|
|
|
## Strengths for this skill
|
|
|
|
- Quickest "where am I ranking in market X vs market Y" comparison.
|
|
- Easy cross-database competitor pulls.
|
|
|
|
## Not for this skill when
|
|
|
|
- **Hreflang validation / parity audit / fix** — OurSEO is the default; only it owns the fix engine.
|
|
- **Forced-redirect / Accept-Language audit** — WebFetch with explicit headers.
|
|
- **Naver / regional engines** — Semrush is Google-only.
