Default Mode (Claude Desktop Integration) ```bash ./setup.sh ./start.sh default ``` **Services**: Database + WordPress + MCP Server (stdio) **Use case**: Local development with Claude Desktop ### 2. HTTP Mode (Remote MCP Access) ```bash ./setup.sh ./start.sh http ``` **Services**: Default + MCP Server HTTP endpoint **Use case**: Remote MCP server access, API testing ### 3. Production Mode (Full Stack) ```bash ./setup.sh ./start.sh production ``` **Services**: All + Nginx reverse proxy **Use case**: Production deployment with SSL termination ## 📋 Quick Start Guide ### Step 1: Initial Setup ```bash # Clone repository git clone https://github.com/your-username/wordpress-mcp-server.git cd wordpress-mcp-server # Run automated setup ./scripts/setup.sh # Review and customize environment nano .env ``` ### Step 2: Start Services ```bash # Start default stack ./scripts/start.sh # Check status ./scripts/status.sh # View logs ./scripts/logs.sh ``` ### Step 3: Configure WordPress 1. Visit **http://localhost:8888** 2. Complete WordPress installation 3. Login with credentials from `.env` 4. Enable REST API (usually enabled by default) ### Step 4: Configure Claude Desktop ```json { "mcpServers": { "wordpress-blog": { "command": "docker", "args": [ "exec", "wordpress-mcp-server", "wordpress-mcp-server", "--mode", "stdio" ], "env": { "WORDPRESS_URL": "http://localhost:8888", "WORDPRESS_USERNAME": "admin", "WORDPRESS_PASSWORD": "admin123" } } } } ``` ### Step 5: Test Integration ```bash # Test MCP connectivity ./scripts/test.sh # Should output: ✅ All tests passed! ``` ## 🔒 Security Features ### Built-in Security - ✅ **Non-root containers**: All services run as non-root users - ✅ **Network isolation**: Custom Docker network with controlled access - ✅ **Environment separation**: Sensitive data in environment variables - ✅ **Health checks**: Automated service monitoring - ✅ **Secure defaults**: Strong passwords and unique security keys ### Production Security - 🔐 **SSL/TLS**: Nginx with SSL certificate support - 🛡️ **Firewall**: Only necessary ports exposed - 🔑 **Secrets management**: External secret stores supported - 📊 **Monitoring**: Health checks and logging - 💾 **Backups**: Automated backup system ## 📊 Monitoring and Maintenance ### Health Monitoring ```bash # Service status ./scripts/status.sh # Real-time logs ./scripts/logs.sh [service] # Resource usage docker stats ``` ### Backup System ```bash # Create backup ./scripts/backup.sh # Automatic backups (via cron) 0 2 * * * /path/to/wordpress-mcp-server/scripts/backup.sh ``` ### Updates ```bash # Update Docker images docker-compose pull # Restart with new images ./scripts/stop.sh ./scripts/start.sh # Update MCP server code git pull docker-compose build wordpress-mcp-server ./scripts/start.sh ``` ## 🎓 Perfect for Academic Use ### Thesis Documentation - 📝 **Research progress tracking** with built-in prompts - 🧮 **Algorithm analysis** post templates - 📊 **Data visualization** support - 🔗 **Citation management** integration ready ### Blog Categories - **Thesis Progress** - Weekly/monthly research updates - **Algorithm Analysis** - Technical deep-dives - **Implementation** - Code showcases and tutorials - **Literature Review** - Paper summaries and analysis - **Problem Solving** - Debugging and solution documentation ### AI-Powered Features - 🤖 **Claude integration** for content creation - 📚 **Academic prompt templates** for structured writing - 🔄 **Automated posting** workflows - 📈 **Content organization** and categorization ## 🌐 Production Deployment ### Domain Configuration ```bash # Update .env for your domain WP_HOME=https://yourdomain.com WP_SITEURL=https://yourdomain.com/wp # SSL certificates mkdir -p nginx/ssl # Copy SSL certificates to nginx/ssl/ ``` ### Performance Optimization - 🚀 **CDN integration** ready - ⚡ **Caching** with Redis (easily added) - 📈 **Auto-scaling** with Docker Swarm/Kubernetes - 🔄 **Load balancing** with Nginx ### Backup Strategy - 💾 **Database backups**: Automated MySQL dumps - 📁 **File backups**: WordPress uploads and themes - ☁️ **Cloud storage**: S3/Google Cloud integration ready - 🔄 **Restore procedures**: Documented and tested ## 🛟 Troubleshooting ### Common Issues **WordPress not accessible**: ```bash ./scripts/logs.sh wordpress docker-compose exec bedrock wp core verify-checksums ``` **MCP Server connection failed**: ```bash ./scripts/test.sh ./scripts/logs.sh mcp ``` **Database issues**: ```bash ./scripts/logs.sh db docker-compose exec bedrock-db mysql -u root -p ``` **Port conflicts**: ```bash netstat -tulpn | grep :8888 # Change ports in docker-compose.yml if needed ``` ### Recovery Procedures 1. **Soft reset**: `./scripts/stop.sh && ./scripts/start.sh` 2. **Hard reset**: `docker-compose down && docker-compose up -d` 3. **Nuclear reset**: `./scripts/reset.sh` (⚠️ destroys data) ## 🎉 Benefits ### For Researchers - 📝 **Streamlined documentation** of research progress - 🤖 **AI-assisted writing** for technical content - 📊 **Professional presentation** of findings - 🔗 **Easy sharing** and collaboration ### For Students - 🎓 **Thesis documentation** from day one - 📚 **Learning reinforcement** through writing - 💼 **Portfolio building** for career development - 🤝 **Community engagement** through blogging ### For Developers - ⚡ **Modern stack** with Bedrock WordPress - 🐳 **Containerized deployment** for consistency - 🔧 **Easy maintenance** with automation scripts - 📈 **Scalable architecture** for growth ## 🚀 Next Steps 1. **Deploy the stack** using the provided scripts 2. **Configure WordPress** for your needs 3. **Integrate with Claude Desktop** for AI assistance 4. **Start documenting** your research journey 5. **Share your insights** with the world!
