About Strapi in SEOmatic

SEOmatic connects to your Strapi instance with an API token. Agents write new entries and improve existing ones, reading each entry first so a partial edit never clears the fields around it.

Last Updated

Requirements

A Strapi instance reachable over the internet, running v4 or v5, and an API token with create and update permissions generated under Settings > API Tokens. Meta fields additionally need the community SEO plugin, which many Strapi starters already include.

How to Fix Strapi SEO from Codex

Step 1: Connect Strapi to SEOmatic

SEOmatic connects to your Strapi instance through the API, then works on the entries you already have.

Step 1: In your Strapi admin, go to Settings, then API Tokens, and create one with full access, or custom access with create and update.

Step 2: In SEOmatic, go to Connections and select Strapi. Paste your API URL and the token, then pick the collection to work in.

Step 3: Agents read your Search Console data, find what is holding those entries back, and propose the changes with the reasoning attached.

Step 4: You approve what you want. Approved work is written to your instance, logged as a diff you can read, and undone in one click if you change your mind.

Step 2: Connect SEOmatic to Codex

Run these two commands in your terminal. The second one opens your browser: sign in to SEOmatic and pick your site. The CLI and the IDE extension share the same config, so this covers both.

Connect Codex

codex mcp add seomatic --url https://app.seomatic.ai/api/mcp
codex mcp login seomatic

Other ways to connect are on the Codex page.

Step 3: Ask Codex, Then Approve

Paste any of these. Codex answers from your data and stages the fix; you approve it before it reaches Strapi.

“Which of my Strapi pages lost the most clicks this month, and why?”
“Stage new titles for my Strapi pages with high impressions and low CTR.”
“Find Strapi pages Google has not indexed and tell me what is blocking them.”
“Audit my Strapi homepage and rank the fixes by impact.”

What Codex Can Change on Strapi

Writes And Improves Entries

New entries written from research, plus title and slug fixes on ones already published. A body rewrite on a published entry comes to you as text to paste.

Never Invents A Field

Agents write only what your content type already has. An unknown field would fail the whole save, so they never guess.

Your SEO Component Survives

Meta is merged into your existing SEO component, so your canonical, keywords and social fields are not blanked.

Nothing Applies Without You

The agent arrives switched off and starts in approval mode. It earns more rope only when you give it.

A Diff For Every Change

A before and after view with the reasoning attached, so you see what changed and why.

One Click Revert

Any change rolls back to its previous value. Low-risk edits that cost you traffic revert on their own.

v4 And v5 Both Handled

Draft and publish behaviour differs between the two majors. Agents detect which you run and write accordingly.

No Accidental Publishing

Strapi v5 will publish a draft if the request is shaped carelessly. Agents send the state explicitly so it cannot happen.

Works With Your Front End

Everything goes through the Strapi API, so whatever renders your content keeps rendering it the same way.

Strapi has no core SEO fields, so most projects lean on a community plugin that changes hands and breaks on major upgrades. Agents work through the API instead, so there is nothing extra in your instance to go stale.

What do I need on the Codex side?

Will Codex publish to Strapi without asking?

No. By default every change SEOmatic proposes waits for your approval before it touches your site, and your assistant is told never to approve on its own. Approved changes are stored with the page's previous state, so any edit to an existing page can be rolled back. If you later want low-risk fixes to go ahead on their own, you can turn that on in your autonomy settings; changes to your URLs or indexing, and new content, still wait for you.

Is it free?

Connecting is free with no card: 5 questions a month from your own data, plus 10 once you connect Search Console, and site audits of up to 30 pages. Staging and publishing fixes is part of paid plans, which start with a 14-day free trial.
