The WordPress MCP Server is a tool that lets AI assistants connect to and manage a WordPress site. It uses the standard WordPress REST API to handle content programmatically.
To begin using it, clone its repository and install its dependencies. You must also prepare your WordPress site by ensuring the REST API is active and generating a dedicated application password for secure access.
Key capabilities include creating, fetching, and updating posts securely using WordPress application passwords. It also provides clear error messages and supports pagination when listing posts.
This server is useful for automating blog content creation, allowing AI assistants to manage site content, or building custom applications that need to interact with WordPress.
Common questions include prerequisites: you need Node.js v18+ and a WordPress site with the REST API enabled. For authentication, use an application password from your WordPress admin area. You can also update existing posts with new content or change their status.
