Connect Claude Code
Claude Code is Anthropic's terminal assistant. It reaches Avada SEO Suite over HTTP using an access token — one command and you're done.
A token can read your SEO data and change it — edit meta tags, create redirects, start optimization runs. Treat it like a password: anyone holding it can do the same.
Set it up
Create an access token
On the MCP page, in the Access tokens card, click Create token, name it something like Claude Code on my laptop, and copy the token. It is shown only once — see Access tokens for the full walkthrough.
Copy the command
Scroll to Setup guide, select the Claude Code tab and copy the command under Run in your terminal. It already has your server URL filled in:
claude mcp add --transport http avada-seo https://…/mcp/s/your-store.myshopify.com \
--header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN"Paste in your token
Replace YOUR_TOKEN with the token you created, then run the command.
Check it worked
Start Claude Code and run:
/mcpavada-seo should be listed as connected. Ask "what's my store's speed score?" to confirm the tools respond.
By default the server is added for the current project only. Add --scope user to the command if you want it available in every project.
Replace the token
If you revoked the token or created a new one, remove the server and add it again with the new token:
claude mcp remove avada-seoThen run the claude mcp add command again.
Disconnect
claude mcp remove avada-seoAlso revoke the token on the MCP page, otherwise it stays usable anywhere else you pasted it.
