Update SureRank Global Settings is a WordPress ability from SureRank — usable via Easy MCP AI, which connects Claude, ChatGPT, and any AI assistant to your site.
Install Free Plugin →Update SureRank Global Settings
DestructiveUpdate one or more SureRank global SEO settings in a single call.
Requires the SureRank plugin on WordPress 6.9+ for the Abilities API. Abilities are only registered when SureRank's admin 'enable_mcp' setting is turned on, and every ability requires the current user to have the 'manage_options' capability.
What it does
This ability accepts a settings object, restricts it to keys that exist in SureRank's known global defaults, sanitizes each value the same way the REST API does, and saves the result. Unknown keys are silently dropped, and the call fails if none of the supplied keys are valid. Because it can overwrite site-wide SEO defaults, SureRank marks it as a destructive, non-readonly action; an AI assistant should confirm the intended changes with the user before calling it. It returns whether the save succeeded and a message describing the outcome.
