## Why MCP Hub?
WordPress powers 43% of the web. WooCommerce runs 36% of online stores. Yet **no MCP server existed** for managing them through AI — until now.
MCP Hub is the first MCP server that lets you manage WordPress, WooCommerce, and 7 other self-hosted services through any AI assistant. Instead of clicking through dashboards, just tell your AI what to do:
> *"Update the SEO meta description for all WooCommerce products that don't have one"*
>
> *"Create a new blog post about our Black Friday sale and schedule it for next Monday"*
>
> *"Check the health of all 12 WordPress sites and report any with slow response times"*

## Quick Start
### Option 1: Docker (Recommended)
```bash
git clone https://github.com/airano-ir/mcphub.git
cd mcphub
cp env.example .env
# Edit .env — set MASTER_API_KEY and add your site credentials
docker compose up -d
```
### Option 2: Docker Hub (No Clone)
```bash
# Create a .env file with your credentials (see "Configure Your Sites" below)
docker run -d --name mcphub -p 8000:8000 --env-file .env airano/mcphub:latest
```
### Option 3: From Source
```bash
git clone https://github.com/airano-ir/mcphub.git
cd mcphub
pip install -e .
cp env.example .env
# Edit .env with your site credentials
python server.py --transport streamable-http --port 8000
```
### Verify It Works
After starting the server, wait ~30 seconds then:
```bash
# Check server health
curl http://localhost:8000/health
```
Open the **web dashboard** in your browser: **http://localhost:8000/dashboard**
You should see the login page. Use your `MASTER_API_KEY` to log in.
### Configure Your Sites
Add site credentials to `.env`:
```bash
# Master API Key (recommended — auto-generates temp key if omitted)
MASTER_API_KEY=your-secure-key-here
# WordPress Site
WORDPRESS_SITE1_URL=https://myblog.com
WORDPRESS_SITE1_USERNAME=admin
WORDPRESS_SITE1_APP_PASSWORD=xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx
WORDPRESS_SITE1_ALIAS=myblog
# WooCommerce Store
WOOCOMMERCE_STORE1_URL=https://mystore.com
WOOCOMMERCE_STORE1_CONSUMER_KEY=ck_xxxxx
WOOCOMMERCE_STORE1_CONSUMER_SECRET=cs_xxxxx
WOOCOMMERCE_STORE1_ALIAS=mystore
# Gitea Instance
GITEA_REPO1_URL=https://git.example.com
GITEA_REPO1_TOKEN=your_gitea_token
GITEA_REPO1_ALIAS=mygitea
```

**Plugin Site Configuration** — Pattern: `{PLUGIN_TYPE}_{SITE_ID}_{KEY}`
| Plugin | Required Keys | Optional Keys |
|--------|--------------|---------------|
| `WORDPRESS` | `URL`, `USERNAME`, `APP_PASSWORD` | `ALIAS`, `CONTAINER` |
| `WOOCOMMERCE` | `URL`, `CONSUMER_KEY`, `CONSUMER_SECRET` | `ALIAS` |
| `WORDPRESS_ADVANCED` | `URL`, `USERNAME`, `APP_PASSWORD`, `CONTAINER` | `ALIAS` |
| `GITEA` | `URL`, `TOKEN` | `ALIAS` |
| `N8N` | `URL`, `API_KEY` | `ALIAS` |
| `SUPABASE` | `URL`, `SERVICE_ROLE_KEY` | `ALIAS` |

| `DIRECTUS` | `URL`, `TOKEN` | `ALIAS` |
> **CONTAINER**: Docker container name of your WordPress site. Optional for WordPress (enables WP-CLI tools like cache flush, transient management). **Required** for WordPress Advanced (all 22 tools use WP-CLI). Find your container: `docker ps --filter name=wordpress`. Also requires Docker socket mount.
**Example** — Multiple WordPress sites:
```bash
WORDPRESS_BLOG_URL=https://blog.example.com
WORDPRESS_BLOG_USERNAME=admin
WORDPRESS_BLOG_APP_PASSWORD=xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx
WORDPRESS_BLOG_ALIAS=blog
WORDPRESS_SHOP_URL=https://shop.example.com
WORDPRESS_SHOP_USERNAME=admin
WORDPRESS_SHOP_APP_PASSWORD=yyyy yyyy yyyy yyyy
WORDPRESS_SHOP_ALIAS=shop
```
</details>
### Connect Your AI Client
All MCP clients use **Bearer token** authentication: `Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY`
> Use a plugin-specific endpoint (e.g., `/wordpress/mcp`) instead of `/mcp` to reduce tool count and save tokens. See [Architecture](#architecture) below.
<details>
<summary><b>Claude Desktop</b></summary>
Add to `claude_desktop_config.json`:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"mcphub-wordpress": {
"type": "streamableHttp",
"url": "http://your-server:8000/wordpress/mcp",
"headers": {
"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
}
}
}
}
```
</details>
<details>
<summary><b>Claude Code</b></summary>
Add to `.mcp.json` in your project:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"mcphub-wordpress": {
"type": "http",
"url": "http://your-server:8000/wordpress/mcp",
"headers": {
"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
}
}
}
}
```
</details>
<details>
<summary><b>Cursor</b></summary>
Go to **Settings > MCP Servers > Add Server**:
- **Name**: MCP Hub WordPress
- **URL**: `http://your-server:8000/wordpress/mcp`
- **Headers**: `Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY`
</details>
<details>
<summary><b>VS Code + Copilot</b></summary>
Add to `.vscode/mcp.json`:
```json
{
"servers": {
"mcphub-wordpress": {
"type": "http",
"url": "http://your-server:8000/wordpress/mcp",
"headers": {
"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
}
}
}
}
```
</details>
<details>
<summary><b>ChatGPT (Remote MCP)</b></summary>
MCP Hub supports **Open Dynamic Client Registration** (RFC 7591). ChatGPT can auto-register as an OAuth client:
1. Deploy MCP Hub with `OAUTH_BASE_URL` set
2. In ChatGPT, add MCP server: `https://your-server:8000/mcp`
3. ChatGPT auto-discovers OAuth metadata and registers
</details>
> **Transport types**: Use `"type": "streamableHttp"` for Claude Desktop and `"type": "http"` for VS Code/Claude Code. Using `"type": "sse"` will cause `400 Bad Request` errors.

## Architecture
```
/mcp → Admin endpoint (all 596 tools)
/system/mcp → System tools only (24 tools)
/wordpress/mcp → WordPress tools (67 tools)
/woocommerce/mcp → WooCommerce tools (28 tools)
/wordpress-advanced/mcp → WordPress Advanced tools (22 tools)
/gitea/mcp → Gitea tools (56 tools)
/n8n/mcp → n8n tools (56 tools)
/supabase/mcp → Supabase tools (70 tools)
/openpanel/mcp → OpenPanel tools (73 tools)
/appwrite/mcp → Appwrite tools (100 tools)
/directus/mcp → Directus tools (100 tools)
/project/{alias}/mcp → Per-project endpoint (auto-injects site)
```
**Recommendation**: Use plugin-specific endpoints instead of `/mcp` (596 tools) to minimize token usage.
| Endpoint | Use Case | Tools |
|----------|----------|------:|
| `/project/{alias}/mcp` | Single-site workflow (recommended) | 22-100 |
| `/{plugin}/mcp` | Multi-site management | 23-101 |
| `/mcp` | Admin & discovery only | 596 |
### Security
- **OAuth 2.1 + PKCE** (RFC 8414, 7591, 7636) with auto-registration for Claude/ChatGPT
- **Per-project API keys** with scoped permissions (read/write/admin)
- **Rate limiting**: 60/min, 1,000/hr, 10,000/day per client
- **GDPR-compliant audit logging** with automatic sensitive data filtering
- **Web dashboard** with real-time health monitoring (8 pages, EN/FA i18n)
> **Compatibility Note**: MCP Hub requires FastMCP 2.x (`>=2.14.0,<3.0.0`). FastMCP 3.0 introduced breaking changes and is not yet supported. If you install dependencies manually, ensure you don't upgrade to FastMCP 3.x.
### WordPress Plugin Requirements
Some MCP Hub tools require companion WordPress plugins:
| Tools | Requirement |
|-------|-------------|
| SEO tools (`wordpress_get_post_seo`, etc.) | [SEO API Bridge](wordpress-plugin/seo-api-bridge/) ([Download ZIP](wordpress-plugin/seo-api-bridge.zip)) + Rank Math or Yoast SEO |
| WP-CLI tools (15 tools: `wp_cache_*`, `wp_db_*`, etc.) | Docker socket + `CONTAINER` env var |
| WordPress Advanced database/system tools | Docker socket + `CONTAINER` env var |
| OpenPanel analytics integration | [OpenPanel Self-Hosted](wordpress-plugin/openpanel-self-hosted/) ([Download ZIP](wordpress-plugin/openpanel-self-hosted.zip)) |
| WooCommerce tools | WooCommerce plugin (separate `WOOCOMMERCE_` config) |
**Docker socket** is needed for WP-CLI and WordPress Advanced system tools. Add to your docker-compose:
```yaml
volumes:
- /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:ro
environment:
WORDPRESS_SITE1_CONTAINER: your-wp-container-name
```
Without Docker socket, WP-CLI tools return "not available" but all REST API tools work normally.
