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 titled 'AI Trends 2024' and assign it to the Tech category." 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

Note: This project was developed with and is supported exclusively by AI. There is no human support — issues and PRs are triaged and responded to by AI agents. If AI-assisted software isn't for you, no hard feelings — but you might want to reconsider, since so is most of the software you already use.

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that lets Claude manage WordPress sites through the WordPress REST API. Create, edit, publish posts, manage categories and tags, and query site configuration — all from Claude Desktop or Claude Code.
