MCP WordPress Server

The MCP WordPress Server bridges the gap between AI assistants and a live WordPress installation by exposing a rich set of management tools through the Model Context Protocol. Rather than manually handling REST requests, developers can ask Claude—or any MCP‑compatible AI—to create posts, update pages, manage media, or tweak site settings. This eliminates repetitive boilerplate and lets conversational agents become true collaborators in website maintenance.

At its core, the server translates high‑level tool calls into authenticated WordPress REST API v2 requests. It supports multiple authentication schemes—App Passwords, JWT, or Basic Auth—so teams can choose the method that best fits their security posture. The server is written entirely in TypeScript, providing full type safety and IntelliSense for developers who extend or customize the tool set. With 54 pre‑built tools spread across eight functional categories, you can perform almost every routine WordPress task from a single AI prompt.

Key capabilities include:

• Comprehensive tool coverage: From post creation to taxonomy management, media uploads to plugin activation.
• Flexible deployment: Run the server via NPX for zero‑install usage, or install locally for deeper customization and debugging.
• Interactive setup wizard: Guides users through site configuration, authentication selection, and connection testing—making onboarding frictionless.
• Structured logging and error tracking: Facilitates monitoring in production environments.

Real‑world scenarios that benefit from this server include content teams automating blog rollouts, devops pipelines synchronizing site changes with AI‑driven documentation, or support desks letting agents troubleshoot WordPress issues without switching contexts. In a typical workflow, Claude receives a user request (“publish a new blog post about the upcoming product launch”), resolves it into an MCP tool call, and the server performs the REST request, returning a confirmation that the post is live.

What sets this MCP server apart is its blend of developer ergonomics and AI integration. The TypeScript foundation ensures that custom extensions are type‑checked, while the ES module architecture keeps runtime overhead low. Coupled with a dedicated setup wizard and robust authentication options, the MCP WordPress Server enables teams to harness AI for seamless, secure, and efficient website management.
