  "mcpServers": {
    "wordpress": {
      "command": "uvx",

Common questions

Is MCP Wordpress safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.4.1) reached the registry 8 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Python (uv) on your computer.

What can I use instead?

MCP WordPress CrunchTools

A secure MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for WordPress content management. Designed for developers publishing about their work.

Overview

This MCP server is designed to be:

Secure by default - Input validation, credential protection, and SSRF prevention
No third-party services - Runs locally via stdio, your credentials never leave your machine
Cross-platform - Works on Linux, macOS, and Windows
Automatically updated - GitHub Actions monitor for CVEs and update dependencies
Containerized - Available at quay.io/crunchtools/mcp-wordpress

Naming Convention

Component	Name
GitHub repo	crunchtools/mcp-wordpress
Container	`quay.io/crunchtools/mcp-wordpress`
Python package (PyPI)	`mcp-wordpress-crunchtools`
CLI command	`mcp-wordpress-crunchtools`
Module import	`mcp_wordpress_crunchtools`

Features

33 Tools for posts, pages, media, and comments
Security-focused: Credentials protected, input validation, SSRF prevention
Developer workflow: Scheduled publishing, revisions, search
Easy integration: Works with Claude Code and other MCP clients

Installation

With uvx (recommended)

uvx mcp-wordpress-crunchtools

With pip

pip install mcp-wordpress-crunchtools

mcp-wordpress-crunchtools

With Container

# Create a shared upload directory (required before first run)

mkdir -p ~/.local/share/mcp-uploads-downloads

podman run -v ~/.local/share/mcp-uploads-downloads:/tmp/mcp-uploads:z \ -e WORDPRESS_URL=https://example.com \ -e WORDPRESS_USERNAME=admin \ -e WORDPRESS_APP_PASSWORD='xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx' \ quay.io/crunchtools/mcp-wordpress

SELinux note: Use :z (lowercase, shared) instead of :Z (uppercase, private).

MCP servers run as long-lived stdio processes. With :Z, files copied into the

directory after container start won't have the container's private MCS label and

will be invisible inside the container. The :z flag sets a shared

container_file_t context that all containers and the host can read/write.

Tip: Use the same shared directory (~/.local/share/mcp-uploads-downloads/)

across multiple MCP container servers (e.g., mcp-wordpress and mcp-gemini) so

generated files are immediately available for upload without copying.

git clone https://github.com/crunchtools/mcp-wordpress.git

cd mcp-wordpress uv sync --all-extras uv run mcp-wordpress-crunchtools

Editing Model

Reads return the source the editor saved (context=edit), never the rendered page, so what an agent reads is safe to write back. Changes go through the edit_* tools: the agent sends the exact text to replace and its replacement, the server applies it to the current source, and the post never round-trips through the agent. The post and page update and edit tools take an optional expected_version (the version get_post or get_page returned); when it is given, the write is refused if the item changed since. update_* refuses content that is rendered output. edit_draft edits only draft or pending posts, so a gateway can grant revision rights without the power to change published posts.
