Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pressbridge": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "pressbridge",
        "serve",
        "--config"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add pressbridge -- uvx pressbridge serve --config

This one needs values on its command line, so copy the settings and fill them in.

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pressbridge": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [

Common questions

Is PressBridge 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 (1.3.1) reached the registry 2 days 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?

The WordPress MCP that still works when WordPress doesn't. Let Claude look inside your WordPress site safely: read-only, sandboxed, secrets hidden. Runs outside WordPress, so it works even when the site shows a critical error.

Website · Demo video · Get Pro · User guide · Security

you     On mysite, where is the footer phone number set? And show me the DB password.

claude search "0744" in wp-content/themes → footer.php:41 read_file wp-config.php → refused: blocked by deny rule 'wp-config*'

The number is in wp-content/themes/mysite/footer.php, line 41. I can't read wp-config.php: PressBridge hides it so passwords never reach me.

PressBridge is an MCP server that gives Claude (Claude Code, Claude Desktop, any MCP client) controlled access to a WordPress site. The Free edition is read-only and made for one site: perfect for debugging, audits and "where is this text coming from?".

Read, list and search theme and plugin files
wp-config.php, .env, SQL dumps, keys and .git are invisible
Nothing outside the site folder, symlink tricks included
Read-only WP-CLI: versions, plugin and theme lists, checksums, cron, users
WooCommerce, read-only: products, stock, prices, coupons, shipping and taxes (set wc_user in the config; orders and customers only if you turn them on)
site_overview: version and pending updates in one call
check_site_health: is the site up right now? Loads key pages and boots WordPress
Includes the wp-care-report skill: a client-ready health and security report

Install (5 minutes, nothing exposed to the internet)

On the server:

sudo apt install python3-venv php-cli php-mysql

curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wp-cli/builds/gh-pages/phar/wp-cli.phar sudo install wp-cli.phar /usr/local/bin/wp python3 -m venv ~/pressbridge-venv ~/pressbridge-venv/bin/pip install pressbridge mkdir -p ~/.pressbridge cat > ~/.pressbridge/config.yaml <<EOF data_dir: $HOME/.pressbridge/data sites: mysite: root: /var/www/mysite/public_html EOF ~/pressbridge-venv/bin/pressbridge check --config ~/.pressbridge/config.yaml

Run it as the user that owns the site files (or one that can read them).

On your computer, Claude Code:

claude mcp add pressbridge -- ssh you@server \

/home/you/pressbridge-venv/bin/pressbridge serve --config /home/you/.pressbridge/config.yaml

Claude Desktop (claude_desktop_config.json, Settings → Developer → Edit Config):

"mcpServers": { "pressbridge": { "command": "ssh", "args": ["-o", "BatchMode=yes", "you@server", "/home/you/pressbridge-venv/bin/pressbridge", "serve", "--config", "/home/you/.pressbridge/config.yaml"] } } }

Then ask Claude: *"Give me a health overview of mysite"* or *"Where in the theme is the footer phone number set?"*

The full user guide, with every command, config option and tool, is in GUIDE.md (features marked Pro aren't in this edition).

Want Claude to fix things too?

PressBridge Pro adds editing with automatic backups and one-call undo, a check after every change that rolls it back automatically if it broke the site, PHP syntax checks before saving, plugin/theme/core updates, unlimited sites, a remote HTTPS server with Docker and automatic certificates, the audit log, and skills for safe edits and safe updates.
