Agents can now read and fill a post’s custom fields, Connections has a setup for each AI coding app, and content checks read page builder layouts as visitors see them.
01 · Added · 5 changesAgents and MCP
5 changes- Custom fields: agents can read and fill a post’s custom fields. Fields registered for the REST API are open, and so are ACF field groups with “Show in REST API” on, repeaters included. A site can open others, such as a classic metabox, with the
agentedseo_content_meta_keysfilter. Changes are logged, can be undone and follow the approval rules for content. - Held changes: when a change waits for approval, the answer lists what was held and which rule held it, and reading the post shows the changes still waiting.
- Smaller capabilities answer:
get-capabilitiescan return only the sections you ask for, so the answer fits in one reply. - propose-changes in Claude Code: Claude Code dropped the tool because of a mistake in its description. It loads again.
- Lists sent as text: an agent that sent a list or a group of values as text was refused. The MCP endpoint now reads it.
02 · Added · 3 changesConnections
3 changes- A setup for each AI coding app: Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, VS Code, Gemini CLI and Other, each with the right file or command. Create password fills in the sign-in value for you, and the agent is named after the app.
- AI coding apps first, and each way to connect has a plainer title. Claude Desktop connects through the connector path, where sign-in works.
- Step numbers were invisible in dark mode. They show again.
03 · Fixed · 7 changesContent checks
7 changes- Page builders: pages built with Bricks, Elementor, Breakdance or Oxygen are read as visitors see them. Word counts, links, the introduction and sentence length no longer pick up icon text or run buttons together. On Bricks, the H1 check reads the header and footer templates and no longer counts a post title Bricks never prints.
- Bricks templates with ACF: a post shown through a Bricks template, with ACF fields and query loops, is checked as it looks on the site. Fields the page never shows are no longer counted.
- Builder pages in the editor were measured as empty (0 words, no links). They are now measured on their layout.
- Keywords: checks pass on a secondary keyword as well as the focus keyword, as they did in SEOPress, and ignore accents, so “Porec” finds “Poreč”. Pages that are translations of each other are no longer reported as targeting the same keyword.
- Internal links: links to any address of your site (a mapped domain, a language on its own domain, the www. form) count as internal. They no longer trigger “No links to other pages of this site” or get nofollow and a new tab.
- Front page slug: the slug check is skipped on the front page, whose address never holds its slug.
- Fix on builder pages opens the builder instead of the hidden content box.
04 · Improved · 2 changesEditor
2 changes- Search Console chart: the SEO panel shows the same chart as the Search Console screen, with impressions and clicks over time, dates underneath and the numbers for each day on hover. It works with the arrow keys and screen readers too.
- Plan this page: the content brief button says what it does, so you no longer have to hover to find out.
05 · Fixed · 3 changesUpdates and compatibility
3 changes- Automatic updates: new installs let WordPress update AgentedSEO automatically. Turn it off on the Licence screen. Sites that already chose keep their choice.
- Classic Monks 404 redirect: with Classic Monks also active, its global 404 redirect stopped working. It works again, and the 404 monitor still logs the visit first.
- Trash view: opening the Trash view of a post list stopped the page with a fatal error. It loads again.
Special thanks
Thanks to the people whose requests and reports shaped this release.
- Ricard Jungic asked for a full test of Bricks templates with every ACF field type, which found query loops repeating the first post and fields the page never shows being counted.
- Chad Botha reported Classic Monks’ global 404 redirect stopping while both plugins were active.
