Overview

WordPress MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server designed to automate interactions with WordPress sites via the WordPress REST API, allowing developers to manage content programmatically.

To use the WordPress MCP Server, first clone the repository, install dependencies using npm, build the server, and then configure your WordPress settings and the MCP server settings file to initiate actions like creating, retrieving, or updating posts.

  • Create, retrieve, and update WordPress posts programmatically. - Pagination support for retrieving multiple posts. - Secure authentication using WordPress application passwords. - Detailed error handling and response messages for easier debugging.
  1. Automating content creation for blogs and websites.
  2. Integrating WordPress with AI assistants or other software applications for dynamic content management.
  3. Updating existing posts without manual intervention during content updates or migrations.
