WordPress MCP — Claude Code MCP server: features and setup
Connect an AI agent to the WordPress API to publish and manage pages, posts, and media. Use it when you want to handle site content from an agent workspace.
Open on GitHubWhat WordPress MCP does
WordPress MCP lets an agent publish and edit WordPress pages, posts, and media through the API. The package includes wordpress-cli and the wordpress-mcp server; agents discover the skill through the SKILL.md file in its install directory. Supported platforms include Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Windsurf, Cline, and Zed.
Run the installer for macOS/Linux or Windows PowerShell, then authenticate as described in the README. Check the CLI with wordpress-cli --version. Use the default stdio transport: this build’s HTTP mode has no request-size or time limits, so running it is unsafe. Claude Code users can also install the WordPress plugin from its marketplace.
