This address needs a key in a request header, which the add-connector menu cannot set. Use Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code instead.

Run this in your terminal

Common questions

Is WordPress MCP 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?

You need to fill in: Authorization

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (2.0.0) reached the registry 44 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

WordPress MCP

Turn any WordPress site into a remote MCP server that any AI assistant can read, see, and work on directly, with an undo button. Engine-agnostic SEO (Yoast / Rank Math) · AEO/GEO (JSON-LD, llms.txt, robots, redirects, IndexNow) · complete WooCommerce store operations · page-builder aware editing · site speed auditing and optimisation · live Search Console / GA4 / PageSpeed, all over one authenticated endpoint.

Any MCP client

### 🔌 One endpoint, every AI client

WordPress MCP speaks the open Model Context Protocol over standard Streamable HTTP. It isn't tied to any one AI vendor. Install it on a client site and connect whichever assistant you or your team use: Claude, ChatGPT, Codex, Gemini, Cursor, Copilot, or all of them at once. The settings screen generates a ready-to-paste config for each one. The agent can then *see* the real site and *implement* changes itself. No copy-paste, no second OAuth, no guessing which SEO plugin the client runs.

What it does

One plugin, one endpoint, 165 typed tools, plus ready-made prompts and browsable resources. Any MCP client connects once per site and can then do the whole job rather than describe it:


📊 Read the real site	What is published, which SEO engine runs, what schema exists, what Search Console actually reports, what is slow, what is out of stock.
👁️ Look at the images	`get_image_bytes` returns a picture, not a filename, so alt text and product copy come from what is in the photograph.
✍️ Write to the live site	Meta through whatever SEO plugin the client runs, JSON-LD, posts, products, prices, stock, menus, widgets, theme files.
🧩 Edit builder pages safely	Elementor, Gutenberg, Divi and WPBakery pages are edited in their own data structure, not by flattening `post_content`.
🛒 Run the store	Catalogue, variations, images, bulk repricing, scheduled sales, inventory and coupons. Orders and customer data sit behind their own switch.
🚀 Make the site faster	Audit, apply reversible front-end fixes, clean the database, and prove the change with real Core Web Vitals.
↩️ Take it all back	Writes are journalled. Every change returns an `operation_id`; one call reverses it.

Quick start

Upload the ZIP from Releases via Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin, or copy the folder to wp-content/plugins/wordpress-mcp/.
Activate WordPress MCP.
Open WordPress MCP in the admin menu. Under Connect an AI client, pick your client and copy the snippet. The site's real endpoint and key are already filled in. Claude and ChatGPT need only the URL: you sign in with WordPress when they ask.
Click Test connection to confirm AI clients can get through. It catches stripped headers, firewalls and caches.
Toggle the capability groups you need. The defaults are safe. To give someone else access, create a connection key with a preset instead of sharing yours.

Then ask for something real:

*"Audit this site's SEO, show me the ten worst pages, and fix the missing meta descriptions."*

Requires WordPress 5.6+ and PHP 7.4+. WooCommerce and Google Site Kit are optional. Their tools appear only when those plugins are active.

Connect your AI client

Client	Connects with	Prompts	Resources	Notes
Claude Code	`claude mcp add` + Bearer header	✅ `/mcp__…`	✅ `@`	Best for dev work; files + builders
Claude web & desktop	Custom connector: sign in with WordPress, or URL with `?key=`	✅	✅	OAuth sign-in built in
ChatGPT	Developer mode: OAuth sign-in, or URL with `?key=`	No	No	Write tools ask for confirmation; `search`/`fetch` built in
OpenAI Codex	`codex mcp add` / `config.toml`	No	No	CLI and IDE extension share the config
Gemini CLI	`gemini mcp add` / `httpUrl`	✅ slash commands	No	Use `httpUrl`, not `url`
Cursor	`mcp.json`	✅	✅
VS Code / Copilot	`.vscode/mcp.json`	✅	✅	Key held in VS Code's secret storage
Windsurf	`mcp_config.json`	No	No	100-tool cap; use `?groups=`
Zed · Cline · Continue · LM Studio	Config file	varies	varies
Anything else	Streamable HTTP, or `mcp-remote` for stdio	varies	varies	Any spec-compliant client

Prompt and resource support depends on the client and changes often. Tools work in every client above.

Every client connects to the same endpoint:

https://client.example.com/wp-json/wp-mcp/v1/mcp

A client can present the key in any of these ways:

How	When to use it
`Authorization: Bearer` header	Any client with a header field. This is the preferred option because it keeps the key out of URLs and logs.
`X-API-Key:` header	Clients whose UI has an "API key header" box.
`?key=` on the URL	Clients that only accept a URL: Claude web/desktop connectors, ChatGPT developer mode, Continue.
Sign in with WordPress (OAuth)	Clients that support MCP sign-in (Claude, ChatGPT and others). Paste the plain URL; no key needed. See below.

The snippets below use my-site and YOUR_KEY. The settings screen generates them with your real values.

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http my-site https://client.example.com/wp-json/wp-mcp/v1/mcp \
