The most comprehensive WordPress MCP server - 145 production-ready tools for complete WordPress management with AI
The most comprehensive WordPress MCP server - 145 production-ready tools for complete WordPress management with AI. That is what the claudeus wp mcp mcp server brings to an AI assistant: the same capability, reachable through the Model Context Protocol rather than a separate app or dashboard.
✅ Content Management 25 tools ✅ Media & Assets 6 tools ✅ Taxonomies 12 tools ✅ User Management 10 tools ✅ Comments & Moderation 8 tools ✅ Menus & Navigation 10 tools ✅ Full Site Editing (FSE) 27 tools ✅ Astra Pro Integration 11 tools ✅ Site Configuration 15 tools ✅ Site Health & Diagnostics 8 tools ✅ Search & Discovery 5 tools ✅ WooCommerce 3 tools ✅ System Discovery 5 tools
Installation goes through your MCP client rather than a global install: point it at npx on npm and it is fetched when the client starts. The copy-paste blocks for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are further down this page.
The server publishes 14 tools. What each one is for:
Autosaves — Get/create autosaves for posts, pages, blocksget_media — List media libraryget_media_item — Get specific mediaupload_media — Upload filesupdate_media — Update metadatadelete_media — Remove filesupdate_alt_text — SEO optimizationget_post_statuses — list, get, activate, deactivate, deletetest_auth — Authorization header testtest_background_updates — Background updates checktest_dotorg_communication — WordPress.org connectivitytest_https — HTTPS validationConfiguration is passed through the environment: USER, PASS, WP_SITES_PATH. Treat anything key-shaped as a real credential — scope it to the minimum the server needs, and rotate it if it ever lands in a shared config.
Plenty 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. Claudeus Wp MCP's toolset — Autosaves, get_media, get_media_item and 11 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by deus-h; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
SyncDev reviews every entry in this directory against the project's own documentation before publishing, and revisits them as servers change.
