AI RankiaWordPress MCP that publishes, adds schema and links your posts
Connect AI Rankia to Claude and ask in plain words: publish this article, push its schema, place the suggested internal links. Every change to your live site is shown first and waits for your yes.
Works in these and other MCP clients

Connect WordPress
In Content Hub, one click. WordPress creates an Application Password and sends it to us.
Add the MCP
Add mcp.airankia.com as a connector in Claude and sign in. In ChatGPT, an admin adds it as an app (Business, Enterprise, Edu).
Ask, check, confirm
The assistant shows what it would change. Nothing goes live until you say yes.
Five tools write. None without a yes.
Tool names exactly as your assistant sees them. Each write shows a preview and waits for confirm=true.
Changes your live site

All edits or none.
Reads and checks
changes nothing on the sitect_articlesWhat is published and what is still a draft, with each live URL.Free.ct_schema_auditEvery page’s schema, and published pages with none at all.Free.ct_schema_validateCrawls the live page and checks the schema it really serves.Small crawl fee, ~30–60 s.ct_schema_writeGives the assistant the page’s text, current JSON-LD and entities to write new schema.Free, unless it first runs the entity analysis: 10 credits, and it asks before.
Articles are Content Hub articles; schema works on any page of your site. Content Hub is in the Brand ($349/mo), Autopilot ($899/mo) and Agency plans.
Suggested links, written into the live post
Ask for the pending suggestions, pick the ones you like, confirm. ct_internal_links adds one link per suggestion to the WordPress article.
- Up to 10 per call
- Same route as the panel’s button
- Reject the ones you don’t want
JSON-LD that is validated before it ships
The assistant writes the schema, ct_schema_save has a crawler validate it, and ct_schema_publish pushes it through the AI Rankia plugin.
- Refuses markup with errors
- Old JSON-LD backed up first
- Yoast or Rank Math output replaced on those pages
What it doesn't do
- It is not a site manager.
No media, comments, plugins, users, menus or settings. For that, use an official WordPress MCP.
- It publishes Content Hub articles only.
It won’t open and rewrite an arbitrary post or page of your site.
- Schema needs our plugin.
Without the AI Rankia plugin (or the edge worker), stored schema waits; nothing reaches the page.
- No WordPress connected, nowhere to publish.
ct_publish says so before trying. The article stays safe in Content Hub.
- Links placed in WordPress stay there.
Removing one means editing the post. The MCP doesn’t take links back out.
- Some schema calls cost a little.
ct_schema_validate (30–60 seconds) and ct_schema_save charge a small crawl fee. ct_schema_write is free unless it first runs the entity analysis, which costs 10 credits and asks before.
Yes, there are official ones. Here's the difference.
Checked on their own docs on October 13, 2026. They manage the site; ours does the SEO work on it. They can run side by side.

Checked on on each vendor's public pages and docs. ✗ means we did not find it advertised on that date, not that it does not exist.
Not in the table: Automattic's first WordPress MCP plugin, Automattic/wordpress-mcp, is deprecated and archived; its README points to the MCP Adapter and the WordPress.com docs.

Where the official ones are better
- They run the whole site.
Posts, pages, media, comments, taxonomies; WordPress.com also plugins and users.
- Block-level edits.
WordPress.com can replace or move one block instead of rewriting a page.
- Free and open source.
The MCP Adapter is GPL; any plugin can expose its own abilities through it.
