issues:read- MCP tool
issue_detail
Get an issue with pages, evidence and suggestions For a writable field other than alt, suggestions gives the rule-based value per affected page, 100 per call: page with suggestions_offset. A recheck reads every listed page fresh, so affected, evidence and suggestions show what the pages say now.

Notes
For an issue MonoRanks can fix (SEO title, meta description, canonical or redirect), GET /sites/{siteId}/issues/{issueId} also returns suggestions: for each affected page, the current value and the value MonoRanks suggests. These are the same values the app shows before you press Apply.
"suggestions": [
{ "url": "https://example.com/pricing/", "pageId": "…", "current": "Pricing", "suggested": "Pricing | Example", "writable": true }
],
"suggestionsTotal": 240,
"suggestionsOffset": 0,
"suggestionsLimit": 100,
"suggestionsNextOffset": 100,
"suggestionsTruncated": true
| What | Details |
|---|---|
| Paging | Each call returns up to 100. For the next ones, call again with ? set to suggestionsNextOffset; it is null after the last page. suggestions_limit (1 to 100) sets the page size. The spellings suggestionsOffset and suggestionsLimit work too. |
suggested |
is null when MonoRanks has no good new value for that page. A title that is too long is shortened by fixed rules that keep the page’s topic and never cut a phrase in half; when no shorter title works, suggested is null and you can draft one in the app. |
suggestionsNote |
(titles only) is set when the website changes the letter case of titles on the page, for example Rank Math’s Capitalize Titles setting. |
writable |
is false, with notWritableReason, when apply cannot write that page, for example a category archive that is not a WordPress post or page. Do not send those to apply. |
advice |
(meta descriptions only) says when a page may not need a description: a legal page or an archive (leave it empty or set noindex), an empty archive (add posts or set noindex), or a login, account, cart or checkout page (set noindex; no description is suggested). |
titleTemplate |
(titles that are too long) is set when one shared ending from the SEO plugin’s title template makes most titles too long, so one change to the template fixes them all. |
lastRecheck |
says what the last recheck found. A recheck reads every listed page again, fresh, so pages you already fixed leave the list. A page that did not answer stays listed and is counted in lastRecheck.notRechecked. |
lastChange |
is the last approved batch, with each change’s status. not_live means it was written but the page still shows another value; notLiveReason says why, including whether the website’s page cache was cleared after the write. A recheck looks at such changes again. Titles and descriptions count as live when only the letter case, spaces, quotes or dashes differ; liveNote then says what changed them. |
Send the values you approve to POST /sites/{siteId}/actions/{issueId}/apply as { "changes": [ { "url": "…", "value": "…" } ] } (at most 500). Through the API, apply writes SEO titles, meta descriptions, canonicals and noindex; image alt text and redirects are applied in the app.
Personal email addresses in the page text MonoRanks stores are hidden, for example j•••@gmail.com.
