What it does

MCP WordPress Server connects Claude Desktop, VS Code and Cline to a WordPress site through its REST API. Tools are grouped into posts, pages, media, users, comments, taxonomies, site settings, cache, performance monitoring and SEO. The SEO group has 11 tools: content analysis, metadata, schema markup and keyword research. One server manages up to 50 sites. Sign-in defaults to a WordPress application password, with JWT, Basic and API key as alternatives. Claude Desktop gets a ready `.dxt` extension, and other clients run `npx -y mcp-wordpress` or a Docker image.

Who it is for. WordPress site owners and editors who manage content and settings from an assistant chat.

Good fit when

  • Draft posts older than 30 days need to be found and listed.
  • One change, such as a policy footer, must be rolled out across client sites.
  • A post needs an SEO review and metadata before publishing.
  • You run several sites and want to switch between them by name.

Not a fit when

  • The site blocks the REST API or runs without HTTPS.
  • The assistant's account has administrator rights while only post edits are needed.
  • You need file-level work on plugins and themes: the server only inspects them.
  • The task is a one-off and easier in the admin panel.

Example request

Environment variables

WORDPRESS_SITE_URL required
URL of the WordPress site.
WORDPRESS_USERNAME required
WordPress username.
WORDPRESS_APP_PASSWORD required, secret
Application password from the user profile.

Limitations

WordPress with the REST API enabled and an application password from the user profile are required. A 403 error means the role is too low: writing needs Editor or higher. The tools can create, change and delete posts, pages, media and users, so create a dedicated account with the minimum role. The README gives two WordPress versions, 5.6 and 5.0, so go with 5.6 if unsure. The `.dxt` route needs Claude Desktop and the others need Node.js. Site data passes through your chosen model provider.

How to disable. Remove the `mcp-wordpress` entry from the client config or uninstall the extension in Claude Desktop. Revoke the application password in the WordPress profile under Application Passwords.

FAQ

How do I install MCP WordPress Server in Claude Desktop?

Download `mcp-wordpress.dxt` from the releases page, install it under Extensions, then enter the site URL and credentials.

How do I connect it through npx?

Add `npx` with arguments `-y mcp-wordpress` to the client config, plus three variables: `WORDPRESS_SITE_URL`, `WORDPRESS_USERNAME`, `WORDPRESS_APP_PASSWORD`.

Which role should the account have?

Editor at minimum for working with posts. Users and site settings need a higher role, which is best not granted unless needed.

Can it manage several sites?

Yes, up to 50. Sites are defined in the config and you name the one you want in the request, for example `client-blog`.

How do the sign-in methods differ?

An application password is the recommended default. JWT, Basic and API key are described in `docs/CONFIGURATION.md`.
