## Summary

Semrush’s Site Audit tool scans websites for 140+ technical SEO issues, but interpreting the results can be time-consuming. The company’s Model Context Protocol (MCP) now lets users pull that data into **Claude** for plain-language analysis, turning raw findings into prioritized fixes with causes, solutions, and team assignments.

To use this, a marketer or SEO professional needs a **Semrush One Starter or Pro+ plan** (or SEO Classic Pro/Guru) and **Claude’s web or desktop app**. The MCP connection requires **50,000 API units per month**, with requests costing between **100–10,000 units each**. After linking accounts, users can ask Claude to identify common issues (like missing meta tags or broken links), compare severity levels, and even draft fixes—such as rewriting duplicate title tags or generating meta descriptions. The tool also flags trends over time and suggests which team should address each issue. While Claude can’t start new audits, it retrieves data from completed Site Audit runs, making it useful for ongoing maintenance.

## Key points

- Semrush MCP connects Site Audit data to Claude for automated SEO issue analysis and prioritization
- Requires Semrush One Starter/Pro+ plans (or SEO Classic Pro/Guru) and Claude’s web/desktop app
- API units cost 100–10,000 per request; 50,000 units reset monthly with subscription

## Why it matters

This integration cuts hours from manual SEO audits by turning raw data into actionable plans, helping small businesses and marketers fix critical issues faster without deep technical expertise.
