WordPress MCP Extension for VS Code

This VS Code extension implements a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for WordPress integration. It helps VS Code understand your WordPress environment, making development easier and more intuitive.

Features

  • WordPress Configuration Detection: Automatically finds your wp-config.php file by searching from the current directory up through parent directories

  • Database Integration: Extracts WordPress database credentials and connects to your WordPress database

  • WordPress Installation Path: Detects the WordPress installation directory

  • Intelligent Code Completion: Provides context-aware code completion for WordPress functions and hooks

  • Documentation Hover: Shows documentation for WordPress functions including the current WordPress version

  • Code Actions: Offers WordPress-specific code actions and quick fixes

Requirements

  • VS Code 1.74.0 or higher

  • A WordPress installation that the extension can access

  • Node.js and npm (for development)

Usage

  1. Open a folder that contains a WordPress installation or is a child directory of a WordPress installation

  2. The extension will automatically search for a wp-config.php file

  3. Use the command WordPress MCP: Connect to WordPress to explicitly connect to the WordPress installation

  4. Enjoy enhanced WordPress coding with intelligent assistance based on your specific WordPress environment

Extension Settings

This extension doesn't require any additional settings.

Known Issues

  • PHP serialization parsing is implemented in a simplified way and may not handle all serialized data formats

  • Database connection needs to close properly when VS Code shuts down

Release Notes

0.1.0

Initial release of WordPress MCP Extension with basic WordPress integration features.

Development

Building the Extension

npm install npm run compile

Packaging the Extension

npm install -g vsce vsce package

This creates a .vsix file in your project directory that can be installed in VS Code.

Testing the Extension

After installing the extension, you can test its functionality using these commands:

  1. Test WordPress Connection:

    > WordPress MCP: Connect to WordPress

    This command will search for and connect to your WordPress installation.

  2. View WordPress Configuration:

    > WordPress MCP: Show WordPress Configuration

    This displays database credentials and other WordPress configuration details.

  3. Query WordPress Database:

    > WordPress MCP: Query Database

    This allows you to execute natural language queries against your WordPress database.

  4. Test MCP Integration via Chat:

    @wordpress What is the database name in wp-config.php?

    Use in the VS Code chat interface to test the MCP integration. Other useful queries:

    • @wordpress What is the database username?

    • @wordpress Show me active plugins

    • @wordpress What theme is active?

    • @wordpress What custom post types are available?
