README
WordPress MCP Server
Manage your WordPress site with AI. Create posts, update content, and query your site—all through natural conversation.
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! Your post is now live at:
https://your-site.com/2026/01/03/why-ai-tools-matter-for-content-creators/
