sitemd for programmatic SEO

The best way to build programmatic SEO sites with AI coding agents

sitemd is a static site generator / website building toolkit for AI coding agents like Claude, Codex, Cursor, Gemini, OpenClaw, etc.

It's a complete agent-driven framework with MCP server, dev server, skills, guardrails, best practices, and one-line integrations for essentials like deployment, media hosting, SEO, analytics, user login + content gating, forms, dynamic data + detail pages, content generation, and more

It's super affordable — only $16.15 one-time purchase per site when buying 50+ site slots at one time.

It's a site-building superpower that scales extremely well. Great for AI agencies and as a bulk website builder for AI coding agents.


Why sitemd works for programmatic SEO

pSEO operators need output at scale with maximum efficiency. sitemd helps you ship high-quality, high-performance sites at super speed.


sitemd vs the programmatic SEO tools you might be using

You've probably already evaluated the bolt-on content tools — Letterdrop, SEOmatic, Airtable→Webflow pipelines, the whole "spreadsheet to CMS" category. They solve a real problem (turning a dataset into N pages) but they solve it in someone else's CMS, on someone else's pricing model, with a workflow built around a human clicking around.

Those bolt content into someone else's CMS. sitemd is the whole system, owned by you, driven by your agent.

Concern Bolt-on pSEO tools sitemd
Pricing Subscription, per-seat or per-site One-time, $16/site at the 50+ tier
Workflow driver Human clicking through a UI Your AI coding agent
CMS dependency Locked into Webflow / WordPress / Framer None — you own the build, host anywhere
Customization Bound by the host CMS Full source, full customization
Stack complexity Pipeline + CMS + theme + deploy One install, one workflow
Output ownership Lives in someone else's database Markdown files in your repo

You don't need a pipeline that bolts into Webflow when your agent can build the whole site, drop the dataset into a sitemd dynamic data adapter, and deploy in one command.


Unit economics that actually scale

If you're in the business of shipping programmatic sites, you care about cost, speed, and quality per site.

sitemd is the most cost-effective way to build sites at scale using AI coding agents.

Instead of hundreds (or thousands) of recurring costs every month, sitemd is a simple flat price for every site you ship.


A typical pSEO workflow with sitemd

  1. Scaffold a new site. npx @sitemd-cc/sitemd init city-comparisons — your agent scaffolds the project.
  2. Connect your dataset. Point sitemd at your data source (Airtable, Supabase, a CSV — your agent handles the wiring).
  3. /kickstart — describe the site in one sentence. Your agent generates the homepage, navigation, settings, theme, and a worked example of one detail page.
  4. sitemd_pages_create_batch — your agent scaffolds the rest of the pages from the dataset in one MCP call.
  5. /seo — runs the SEO health check, fixes Open Graph + JSON-LD + sitemap + robots.txt + llms.txt issues automatically.
  6. /deploy — push to Cloudflare Pages, Netlify, Vercel, or GitHub Pages with one command.
  7. Move on to the next site.

Why not build your own in-house programmatic site system instead?

You should build your own in-house system, you just shouldn't build all of it. sitemd is meant to be the backbone of your system, not a replacement for it.

sitemd is the ideal starting point for a fully-featured, powerful programmatic site system.

Here's everything you'd have to build (and maintain) yourself to replace what sitemd handles for you:

Your time is better spent running your business instead of engineering every inch of your tech infrastructure from scratch.


Fully AI-native site building

sitemd is designed for an AI coding agent to drive end-to-end. You can edit markdown directly in your code editor and sitemd's browser dev panel, but your coding agent is the primary interface for sitemd.

Markdown all the way down

Coding agents think in markdown. sitemd sites are just folders of markdown files. Agents write pages and build whole sites with simple markdown edits. Bonus: markdown is easy for humans to read + edit too.

MCP tools for every task

Content, config, build, deploy, auth, cloning, docs, and feedback — all through one MCP server. Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini, OpenClaw, VS Code — any MCP-capable agent works out of the box.

Skills for every agent

sitemd ships with ready-made skills and manifests for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini, and OpenClaw. Any MCP-compatible agent picks it up automatically. You're not locked into one coding agent.

Predictable project structure

pages/ for content. settings/ for configuration. theme/ for customization. Your agent always knows where everything lives. No routing magic, no hidden state.

Automate content

Generate full docs, blog posts, changelogs, and roadmap updates — with quality checks and voice rules using sitemd's write skill.

Clone sites

Use sitemd's clone skill to point your agent at any URL, scrape the content, map nav and images to markdown, and migrate any site in minutes.

Works with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini, OpenClaw, and any AI agent that can use MCP and skills.


Programmatic SEO FAQ

How does sitemd compare to pSEO tools like SEOmatic, AirOps, or Webflow + Airtable + Whalesync?
Those tools pipe content into someone else's CMS and cost hundreds (or thousands) of dollars every month. They're built for a human clicking through a UI with an AI helping at the edges. sitemd is the whole system — no CMS lock-in, no monthly fee, and only $16.15 one-time purchase per site when buying 50+ sites at once — and your agent drives the entire workflow end-to-end without ever leaving the terminal. See our programmatic SEO use case page for more detail.

How does sitemd compare to Astro / Next.js / Remix / SvelteKit starter kits?
Most starter kits are only marginally better than starting from scratch (and some are actually worse). Most don't include an MCP server, CLI tools, or built-in one-line integrations for SEO, analytics, content generation, doc writing, user login, content gating, dynamic data + detail pages, and more.

Do I have to host my site with sitemd?
No, and you couldn't even if you wanted to. sitemd isn't a website hosting service — it's a website building toolkit you install on your machine. You'll build your site locally, then deploy & host wherever you want.

Can I use sitemd for client sites?
Absolutely. 15% bulk discount when purchasing 50+ site slots at one time.

Is there a free version/trial?
Yes. sitemd can run in free trial mode forever. You can preview all features in trial mode. You only need to pay when it's time to deploy your site.

How many sites do I get?
When you initially upgrade/purchase sitemd for $79, you get 3 starter site slots. If you need more sites, you can purchase additional slots for $19/ea or 50+ at one time for a 15% bulk discount.

What counts as 1 "site"?
Any set of pages (could be 1, could be 100+) that share the same site title, brand name, and deploy URL. We call this your "site identity" and it's how we verify your site's activation status.

Note: subdomains are considered their own unique deploy URL, so if you need to deploy pages to both mydomain.com and sub.mydomain.com, that uses 2 site slots.

Can I reassign my site slots?
No. Activating a site is permanent — it cannot be undone, refunded, or credited.

Do you offer refunds?
No. You can fully preview all sitemd functionality for free for as long as you need before making a purchase decision.

Are future updates included?
Yes. All sitemd updates ship to you automatically.
