Yoast SEO GraphQL Mutations

Add this to your theme's functions.php to enable mutations:

php
// Enable Yoast SEO mutations via WPGraphQL
add_action('graphql_register_types', function() {
    register_graphql_mutation('updatePostSeo', [
        'inputFields' => [
            'postId' => ['type' => 'Int', 'description' => 'Post ID'],
            'title' => ['type' => 'String', 'description' => 'SEO Title'],
            'metaDesc' => ['type' => 'String', 'description' => 'Meta Description'],
            'focusKeyphrase' => ['type' => 'String', 'description' => 'Focus Keyphrase'],
        ],
        'outputFields' => [
            'success' => ['type' => 'Boolean'],
            'post' => ['type' => 'Post'],
        ],
        'mutateAndGetPayload' => function($input) {
            $post_id = absint($input['postId']);

            if (!current_user_can('edit_post', $post_id)) {
                throw new \GraphQL\Error\UserError('You do not have permission to edit this post.');
            }

            if (isset($input['title'])) {
                update_post_meta($post_id, '_yoast_wpseo_title', sanitize_text_field($input['title']));
            }
            if (isset($input['metaDesc'])) {
                update_post_meta($post_id, '_yoast_wpseo_metadesc', sanitize_textarea_field($input['metaDesc']));
            }
            if (isset($input['focusKeyphrase'])) {
                update_post_meta($post_id, '_yoast_wpseo_focuskw', sanitize_text_field($input['focusKeyphrase']));
            }

            return [
                'success' => true,
                'post' => get_post($post_id),
            ];
        }
    ]);
});

Configuration

Create a config.json in the skill directory:

json
{
  "wordpress": {
    "graphql_url": "https://your-site.com/graphql",
    "username": "your-username",
    "app_password": "your-app-password"
  },
  "batch": {
    "size": 10,
    "delay_seconds": 1
  },
  "state_file": "./seo_update_progress.json"
}

Or use environment variables:

  • WP_GRAPHQL_URL
  • WP_USERNAME
  • WP_APP_PASSWORD

Workflow

Step 1: Analyze Posts for SEO Issues

bash
python scripts/analyze_seo.py --all --output analysis.json

This fetches posts and identifies SEO issues (missing titles, too long descriptions, etc.). Output includes instructions for Claude to generate optimized SEO content.

Step 2: Generate Optimized SEO Content

Claude analyzes the analysis.json output and generates a changes.json file with:

  • Optimized SEO titles (50-60 chars)
  • Compelling meta descriptions (150-160 chars)
  • Relevant focus keyphrases

Step 3: Preview Changes (Dry Run)

bash
python scripts/preview_changes.py --input changes.json

Step 4: Apply Updates

bash
python scripts/yoast_batch_updater.py --input changes.json --apply

Step 5: Resume if Interrupted

bash
python scripts/yoast_batch_updater.py --resume

Input Format

The skill expects a JSON file with changes:

json
{
  "updates": [
    {
      "post_id": 123,
      "post_title": "Original Post Title",
      "current": {
        "seo_title": "Old Title | Site Name",
        "meta_desc": "Old description"
      },
      "new": {
        "seo_title": "New Optimized Title | Site Name",
        "meta_desc": "New compelling meta description under 160 chars"
      }
    }
  ]
}

Output

The skill produces:

  1. Preview report showing before/after for each post
  2. Progress state file for resuming interrupted batches
  3. Final report with success/failure counts

Safety Features

  • Dry-run mode by default - preview before applying
  • Confirmation prompt before batch updates
  • Progress tracking - resume interrupted sessions
  • Rate limiting - configurable delay between API calls
  • Backup - logs current values before changing

Example Usage

User: "Update the meta descriptions for all posts in the 'tutorials' category to be more compelling"

Claude will:

  1. Run analyze_seo.py to fetch posts and identify SEO issues
  2. Analyze each post's content and current SEO data
  3. Generate optimized titles, descriptions, and keyphrases
  4. Create a changes.json file with the improvements
  5. Run preview_changes.py to show before/after comparison
  6. Ask for confirmation
  7. Run yoast_batch_updater.py --apply to apply changes
  8. Report results with success/failure counts
