New: Yoast SEO Content Analyses scores can now chat with “AI” through new API

From today, your AI tools, dashboards, and automated workflows can now talk directly to Yoast SEO, thanks to the new Abilities API, built to work hand in hand with WordPress 6.9 .As WordPress evolves, we evolve with it, and the release of the Yoast SEO Abilities API is an extension of these new capabilities. 

What does that mean in plain English? 

If you use AI assistants, automated workflows, or custom dashboards, they can now automatically find and read your Yoast content scores, without anyone needing to build a custom connection or dig through documentation. It just works. 

What can these tools see? 

Once connected, any compatible tool can instantly pull the following from your most recent posts: 

• SEO scores and focus keyphrases 
• Readability scores 
• Inclusive language scores 

What can you do with this? 

Here are a few examples of what’s now possible: 

• Ask an AI assistant “How is my SEO health looking this week?” and get a real answer based on your actual posts 
• Set up a fully autonomous AI workflow, where agents can flag trends in your recent posts. 
• Pull your content scores into an external dashboard or reporting tool, with no manual exports needed 

In short, Yoast SEO is ready to plug straight into your workflow, whatever that looks like. As WordPress continues to open up new capabilities, you can expect Yoast to be right there alongside it.
