Migrate Strapi to Claude Code — without losing SEO
Sitejump audits the Strapi site, preserves every URL, redirect and meta tag, then packages it for a modern React + Tailwind rebuild in Claude Code.
What is a Strapi migration?
A Strapi migration means collapsing a self-hosted Strapi backend plus its separate front end into a single AI-built website, so there is no Node server, database and CMS deployment to keep patched for a marketing site. Content types that are genuinely editorial can move to the project's own database; the rest becomes code. The current Strapi stack stays running during the rebuild.
Why do Strapi migrations lose SEO?
Strapi produces no URLs of its own: the front-end framework maps collection types and slugs to routes, and localisation plugins add locale prefixes on top. Rebuild the mapping slightly differently and every entry in a collection changes address simultaneously.
Why teams leave Strapi
Strapi requires you to run and update a Node backend for content most teams edit once a month. AI-builder rebuilds usually collapse that into the website itself.
Strapi v3 → v4 was a rewrite. Take the migration cost once, land on standard React, stop chasing breaking releases.
If any client apps depend on your Strapi REST or GraphQL endpoints, we document them in the migration bundle so you can rebuild them cleanly.
Why teams move Strapi to Claude Code
Claude Code works in the terminal against a real repository, which fits teams that want the Strapi rebuild to land in their existing codebase and CI.
The rebuild can start inside a repository you already have, following the conventions and checks that are already in place.
Large page batches, redirect tables and language versions are handled in one continuous working session through the connector.
The output is a portable project: choose the host, the domain setup and the release process.
Once the Strapi site is rebuilt in the selected AI builder, the team can edit pages by describing changes in plain language.
The migration package is prepared for the selected AI builder, v0, Replit, Cursor or Claude, with instructions suited to the selected destination.
No more proprietary templating locking your site to Strapi. The rebuild is standard React + Tailwind — any developer or any AI assistant can extend it, and no vendor can hold the codebase hostage.

Honest, one-line takes on the other paths a Strapi team usually considers.
| Option | What actually happens |
|---|---|
| Stay on Strapi | Keeps monthly bills and the vendor lock-in. Every edit still needs a developer or agency ticket, and the platform gets older, not smarter. |
| Rebuild in Next.js on Vercel | A capable route, but migration discovery, content capture, redirects and evidence still need to be assembled before the rebuild begins. |
| Move to Webflow or Framer | Trades one hosted builder for another. You still don't own the code, and you'll re-platform again the day you need real product surfaces (auth, dashboards, checkout). |
| Migrate with Sitejump | One free audit, one-time payment, SEO preserved, and marketing edits the site with the compatible web builder or coding workspace that fits your delivery flow. |

How the Strapi → Claude Code move actually works
- 1. Free audit. Paste your Strapi URL. We crawl a sample, detect Strapi, count pages, and give you a preview report.
- 2. One-time payment. Pay once (tiered by page count). The full audit runs and packages your site into a migration bundle.
- 3. Paste one MCP URL into your AI builder. Lovable, v0, Replit Agent or a compatible coding workspace reads the migration package and rebuilds it in prioritised page batches on your instruction.
Strapi migration FAQ
Do I need to touch Strapi during the migration?
No. Sitejump crawls your live site the same way search engines do — we only need the public URL. Your Strapi install keeps running until you're ready to cut over.
What about SEO? Will rankings drop?
Every URL is preserved or 301-redirected to its new route, and every page's title, description, canonical and OG tags are carried forward. Search Console sees a clean move, not a rebuild.
Is this a subscription?
No. One free audit, then a one-time payment based on your site's page count. Lifetime access to your migration data through your account MCP connector.
How does the rebuild actually happen?
Paste one MCP URL into an AI builder, v0, Replit Agent or a compatible coding workspace. The builder reads the migration package and rebuilds pages on your instruction — you stay in control of design and structure.
Does paying for a migration replace my live website?
No. The current site keeps running as-is. Payment unlocks the migration package and connector for the saved destination. The switch happens only when the rebuilt site is published and the domain is moved.
Which AI builder should I use for a Strapi migration?
Choose the selected AI builder, v0 or Replit for a hosted project, or Cursor or Claude for a portable repository deployed to a host you control. Sitejump saves the choice with the migration and adapts the instructions and package.
What would this cost with an agency instead?
A manual Strapi rebuild is typically quoted at €3,000–€12,000 for a typical business site — most of that is the copying: pages, redirects, images and language versions carried over by hand. Sitejump automates that part for a one-time fee.
Can non-developers edit the site after migration?
Yes. The selected AI builder can apply plain-language changes after the rebuild. Complex product features and integrations may still need developer review.
