Which integrations are available for this server?

Planned integration for WooCommerce functionality (currently on roadmap). Enables full WordPress site management through the REST API, including creating, reading, updating, and deleting posts, managing pages and media, querying plugins, and controlling content workflow from draft to published status.

How do I use WordPress MCP Server?

1. Click on "Install Server". 2. Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state. 3. In the chat, type @ followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@WordPress MCP Server create a draft post about our new product launch" That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed. Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.

WordPress MCP Server

Manage your WordPress site with AI. Create posts, update content, and query your site—all through natural conversation.

Python 3.10+ MCP License: MIT

What is this?

WordPress MCP is a Model Context Protocol server that connects AI assistants like Claude Code and Cursor to your WordPress site via the REST API.

Instead of switching between your terminal and WordPress admin, just ask:

You: "Create a draft post about our new product launch" You: "Show me all posts from last week" You: "Update post 42 to published status" You: "What plugins are installed on my site?"

Demo

Here's a real conversation showing the draft-to-publish workflow:

You: Create a draft post titled "Why AI Tools Matter for Content Creators" Claude: I'll create that draft post for you. ✓ Created draft post: ID: 142 Title: Why AI Tools Matter for Content Creators Status: draft Link: https://your-site.com/?p=142 You: Add some content about productivity and automation Claude: I'll update the post with content about productivity and automation. ✓ Updated post 142 with new content. You: Show me my draft posts Claude: Here are your draft posts: | ID | Title | Date | |-----|-------------------------------------------|------------| | 142 | Why AI Tools Matter for Content Creators | 2026-01-03 | | 138 | Upcoming Features Preview | 2026-01-02 | | 135 | Team Update Q1 | 2025-12-28 | You: Publish post 142 Claude: ✓ Published!
