@askbeam/strapi-plugin

Askbeam for Strapi 5: see which AI crawlers read your frontend, serve llms.txt, per-page Markdown and JSON-LD from your content, and get an "AI Visibility" page in the admin.

Also listed on the Strapi Marketplace.

Is ChatGPT reading your site? Strapi can't see the requests that reach your frontend, so it can't tell you. This plugin can: a verified log of GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, ChatGPT-User and others, stored in your own database.

npm install @askbeam/strapi-plugin

// config/plugins.js
module.exports = ({ env }) => ({
  geo: {
    enabled: true,
    config: {
      secret: env('GEO_SECRET'),
      llms: {
        siteURL: 'https://example.com',
        name: 'Acme',
        contentTypes: { 'api::article.article': { section: 'Blog', url: (doc) => `/blog/${doc.slug}` } },
      },
    },
  },
})

llms.txt, Markdown and JSON-LD only serve what an anonymous REST request could read: published entries of content types whose find the Public role is allowed, sanitized like the REST API. Content types with custom route policies are skipped unless you add an isPublic(entry) check. If your frontend reads Strapi with an API token instead, set llms.publicOnly: false. See What Strapi serves publicly.

Strapi can't see requests to your frontend, so add @askbeam/next there:

import { withGeo } from '@askbeam/next'

export const proxy = withGeo({ endpoint: 'https://cms.example.com/api/geo/ingest', secret: process.env.GEO_SECRET })

Set GEO_SECRET to the same long random string in Strapi and the frontend (for example openssl rand -hex 32). Restart Strapi and open AI Visibility in the admin menu.
