What It Does

This add-on plugin exposes Rank Math SEO functionality through MCP (Model Context Protocol). Your AI assistant can manage metadata, redirections, and 404 logs.

Part of the MCP Expose Abilities ecosystem.

This is one piece of a bigger open WordPress automation stack that lets AI agents do real SEO operations inside WordPress instead of just making recommendations.

Why This Is Cool

SEO cleanup usually dies in the gap between “we should fix this” and “who wants to do it by hand?”

This add-on closes that gap. You can ask the agent to inspect metadata, review redirects, look at 404 logs, check schema state, and make the actual change instead of leaving the work stuck in a spreadsheet or chat thread.
