Connect Joomla

Joomla MCP for Claude

Connect Joomla and Claude can act on what it finds — meta descriptions and focus keywords on your articles, sitemap submission, tracking setup, and publishing. Diagnosis stays free; changes are Owner.

What Claude can do with Joomla

Joomla sites are usually well structured and badly described — good articles with meta descriptions nobody ever wrote. That is the cheapest search win available, and it is the one Claude can now do for you rather than about you.

Reading your data
  • Everything on Analyst, first

    Traffic, rankings, sitemap and index coverage, redirects and page speed for your Joomla site are free. Only the change is Owner.

Making changes Owner
  • Meta descriptions and focus keywords

    Claude rewrites the description and focus keyword on any article. Note the real limit: Joomla keeps the browser page title outside its API, so the SEO title cannot be set through the connector — description and focus keyword can.

  • Sitemap submission and indexing

    Submit sitemaps and request indexing for articles Google has not crawled.

  • Measurement setup

    Correct the analytics configuration behind numbers that look wrong.

  • Publishing and updating articles

    Create and update Joomla articles from the conversation.

A real Joomla question, start to finish

You talk to Claude. Claude steps out to datanephew when it needs your actual Joomla data.

  • Which of my Joomla articles have no meta description?
  • Write a description for my top five articles and save them.
  • Are my articles all in Google?
  • Which article gets impressions but no clicks?
  • Submit my sitemap to Google and Bing.
  • Is my Joomla site slow on mobile?
  • Publish an update to my services article.

Setup: authorise, paste, ask

Most Joomla MCP setups you'll find want you to clone a GitHub repo, install dependencies, manage credentials in a config file, and keep a local server running on your own machine. This one doesn't.

1

Authorise Joomla

Create an application password in Joomla and paste it in once.

2

Paste one connector URL into Claude

Add your personal connector URL in Claude's settings. That's the whole install — nothing runs on your machine, and there's nothing to keep alive or update.

3

Ask

Open a conversation and ask about your Joomla data the way you'd ask a person. Claude remembers what you looked at last time.

What's free and what's Owner

Your own numbers are free to read on every plan. Editing your site — publishing, fixing titles, submitting sitemaps — is Owner.

Joomla on datanephew
  • Reading your own site — traffic, rankings, page speed, technical health — is free and always will be.
  • Joomla sits on Owner because of what it does beyond reading your own numbers: changing things on your behalf.
  • Owner is $9 a month or $90 a year. Pro is $25 a month or $250 a year, for up to 5 of each site or account. There is no seat count and no minimum.
  • You can connect everything free first and see what the diagnosis looks like before paying for the fix.

Joomla and Claude — common questions

Can Claude change the page title on a Joomla article?

No, and this is a Joomla limitation rather than ours: Joomla keeps the browser page title outside the API the connector uses. Meta description and focus keyword can both be set. On Wix, the SEO title can be changed.

What is free and what is Owner?

Reading your Joomla site is free. Editing it is Owner.

How does Joomla authentication work?

An application password you generate in Joomla and paste into datanephew once. No plugin to install, no server to run.

Can Claude publish articles?

Yes, on Owner. We lead with metadata, sitemaps and tags because those move rankings on articles you already have.

How much is Owner?

$9 a month, or $90 a year, including $20/month in Premium Research credits for keyword and competitor research.
