Update SureRank Term SEO 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 Term SEO
DestructiveUpdate a specific taxonomy term's SureRank SEO metadata.
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 writes SEO metadata to a taxonomy term. It confirms the term exists, filters the supplied metaData to keys present in SureRank's known SEO defaults, sanitizes each value like the REST endpoint does, and saves it. An AI assistant can use this to fix term-level SEO issues surfaced by get-term-seo-checks, such as a missing title on a category archive. Because it overwrites existing term metadata, SureRank marks it as a destructive action.
