Model Context Protocol server for managing WordPress sites through the WordPress REST API.
Connect Autowpmcp to Claude, Cursor or any other MCP client and it stops being a tab you switch to. Model Context Protocol server for managing WordPress sites through the WordPress REST API. The autowpmcp mcp server is what makes that connection.
AutoWP MCP (Model Context Protocol) server connects Claude to WordPress sites and allows users to ask Claude to work on different tasks on their WordPress site like create and post blog posts and other WordPress site management tasks. It acts as a bridge between LLM clients like Claude Desktop and WordPress websites.
The server ships on npm as npm, so your MCP client can launch it on demand — there is no separate build step. Add the server block to your client's configuration, restart it, and the tools register themselves.
The toolset is worth reading before you wire it up, because it tells you what the integration is really for:
get-site-settings — View WordPress site configuration and reading settingsupdate-site-settings — Update basic site configuration such as title, tagline, timezone, and front page behaviorlist-plugins — List installed WordPress plugins with activation statusauthenticate-wp — Connect to WordPress with credentials (which we just used)test-wp-connection — Test if a WordPress site is reachablecreate-blog-post — Create new blog posts with title, content, categories, tags, and statusget-wp-categories — Retrieve all available categories from your WordPress siteget-wp-tags — Retrieve all available tags from your WordPress siteformat-wp-content — Convert raw text into WordPress-ready HTML formatsave-draft — Save blog post drafts locally for later useload-draft — Load previously saved draftsPublishing — ** Create posts as drafts or publish them directly - depending on your user permissionsPlenty of developer tooling servers cover similar ground. The differences that matter in practice are scope of access and how much setup stands between you and a working tool call. Autowpmcp's toolset — get-site-settings, update-site-settings, list-plugins and 11 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by Njengah; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
