# MCP Hub
**The AI-native management hub for WordPress, WooCommerce, and self-hosted services.**
596 tools across 9 plugins. Connect your sites, stores, repos, and databases — manage them all through Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or any MCP client.
## Quick Start
### 1. Create a `.env` file
```bash
# Recommended (auto-generates temp key if omitted — check container logs)
MASTER_API_KEY=your-secure-key-here
# Add at least one WordPress site
WORDPRESS_SITE1_URL=https://your-site.com
WORDPRESS_SITE1_USERNAME=admin
WORDPRESS_SITE1_APP_PASSWORD=xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx
WORDPRESS_SITE1_ALIAS=mysite
```
### 2. Run the container
```bash
docker run -d \
--name mcphub \
-p 8000:8000 \
--env-file .env \
airano/mcphub:latest
```
### 3. Verify it works
```bash
# Health check (wait ~30 seconds for startup)
curl http://localhost:8000/health
# Open the web dashboard
# http://localhost:8000/dashboard
```
### 4. Connect your AI client
**Claude Desktop** (`claude_desktop_config.json`):
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"mcphub": {
"type": "streamableHttp",
"url": "http://localhost:8000/wordpress/mcp",
"headers": {
"Authorization": "Bearer your-secure-key-here"
}
}
}
}
```
**VS Code** (`.vscode/mcp.json`):
```json
{
"servers": {
"mcphub": {
"type": "http",
"url": "http://localhost:8000/wordpress/mcp",
"headers": {
"Authorization": "Bearer your-secure-key-here"
}
}
}
}
```
> Use a plugin-specific endpoint (e.g., `/wordpress/mcp`) instead of `/mcp` to reduce tool count and save tokens. See [Endpoints](#endpoints) below.
## Authentication
MCP Hub uses **Bearer token** authentication:
```
Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY
```
> `X-API-Key` header and query parameter auth are **not** supported.
## Endpoints
Use the most specific endpoint for your use case:
| Endpoint | Tools | `site` param? | Best for |
|----------|------:|:-------------:|----------|
| `/project/{alias}/mcp` | 22-100 | No (pre-scoped) | Single-site workflow |
| `/{plugin}/mcp` | 23-101 | Yes | Multi-site management |
| `/mcp` | 596 | Yes | Admin & discovery only |
Available plugin endpoints: `/wordpress/mcp`, `/woocommerce/mcp`, `/wordpress-advanced/mcp`, `/gitea/mcp`, `/n8n/mcp`, `/supabase/mcp`, `/openpanel/mcp`, `/appwrite/mcp`, `/directus/mcp`, `/system/mcp`
## Using Docker Compose
```yaml
services:
mcphub:
image: airano/mcphub:latest
ports:
- "8000:8000"
env_file:
- .env
volumes:
- mcphub-data:/app/data
- mcphub-logs:/app/logs
# Optional: mount Docker socket for WP-CLI tools
# - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:ro
restart: unless-stopped
volumes:
mcphub-data:
mcphub-logs:
```
> **WP-CLI tools** (cache flush, database export, plugin updates via CLI) require Docker socket access.
> Add `WORDPRESS_SITE1_CONTAINER=your-wp-container-name` to your `.env` and uncomment the Docker socket volume above.
```bash
docker compose up -d
```
## After Starting
| URL | Description |

| `http://localhost:8000/health` | Health check & status |
| `http://localhost:8000/dashboard` | Web dashboard (manage API keys, view sites, health) |
| `http://localhost:8000/mcp` | MCP endpoint (connect AI clients here) |
## Environment Variables
| Variable | Required | Description |
|----------|----------|-------------|
| `MASTER_API_KEY` | Recommended | API key for authentication. If omitted, a temporary key is auto-generated and printed to logs |
| `WORDPRESS_SITE1_URL` | For WP | WordPress site URL |
| `WORDPRESS_SITE1_USERNAME` | For WP | WordPress admin username |
| `WORDPRESS_SITE1_APP_PASSWORD` | For WP | WordPress Application Password |
| `WORDPRESS_SITE1_ALIAS` | Recommended | Friendly name (e.g., `myblog`) |
| `WORDPRESS_SITE1_CONTAINER` | For WP-CLI | Docker container name of your WordPress site (enables cache/db/system tools) |
| `OAUTH_JWT_SECRET_KEY` | For OAuth | JWT secret for ChatGPT auto-registration (not needed for Claude/Cursor) |
| `OAUTH_BASE_URL` | For OAuth | Public URL of your server (not needed for Claude/Cursor) |
> **CONTAINER**: Required for WP-CLI tools (cache flush, database export, system info) and **all** WordPress Advanced tools. Find your container name: `docker ps --filter name=wordpress`. Also requires Docker socket mount.
> **OAuth**: Only needed for ChatGPT Remote MCP auto-registration. For Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, and VS Code — just use `MASTER_API_KEY` with Bearer token auth.
Add more sites with `SITE2`, `SITE3`, etc. See [full configuration guide](https://github.com/airano-ir/mcphub/blob/main/docs/getting-started.md).
