Get Jetpack Sitemaps status is a WordPress ability from Jetpack — usable via Easy MCP AI, which connects Claude, ChatGPT, and any AI assistant to your site.
Install Free Plugin →Get Jetpack Sitemaps status
Read-onlyReport whether Jetpack's XML sitemaps are active, the public sitemap URL, and the child sitemaps currently generated.
Requires the Jetpack plugin on WordPress 6.9+. Abilities are registered by several bundled Jetpack packages (automattic/jetpack-backup, jetpack-connection, jetpack-forms, jetpack-stats) plus the main plugin's own registrars for Related Posts, Shortlinks, Sitemaps, Newsletter/Subscriptions, and Monitor. Permission requirements vary by ability — most gate on 'manage_options', 'jetpack_admin_page', or 'view_stats', while Forms abilities use 'edit_pages'. Backup abilities only register when a Backup product/plan is active; Sitemaps, Monitor, and Newsletter abilities only register when their respective module is turned on.
What it does
This ability returns the current state of Jetpack-generated XML sitemaps: whether the Sitemaps module is active, the public sitemap.xml URL, the number of published posts and pages, whether the News sitemap is included in robots.txt, and the list of child sitemaps currently present in the served sitemap index (each with its location and last-modified time). The sitemaps array reflects what has actually been generated and stays empty until a master sitemap exists. This ability only registers while the Sitemaps module is active.
