What is the Wp Standalone MCP MCP server?

A specialized connector service that facilitates communication between intelligent systems and content management platforms using standardized protocols. Features secure credential management and streamlined endpoint discovery for REST API. Exposed over MCP by the wp standalone mcp mcp server, that capability becomes something an assistant can invoke while it works, not something you go and do afterwards.

What it actually does

A powerful Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides seamless integration between AI assistants and WordPress sites through the WordPress REST API. This server automatically discovers and creates individual tools for each WordPress REST API endpoint, enabling natural language WordPress management.

Its toolset

Everything the assistant can do here goes through one of these:

  • myblog_get_v2_posts — List all posts
  • myblog_get_v2_posts_id — Get a specific post by ID
  • myblog_post_v2_posts — Create a new post
  • myblog_put_v2_posts_id — Update a specific post
  • myblog_delete_v2_posts_id — Delete a specific post
  • Pattern — [site][method][resource] or [site][method][resource]_id
  • Examples — - myblog_get_v2_posts - List all posts
  • myblog_get_v2_media — List media files
  • myblog_get_v2_users — List users
  • Installation — The Installation tool exposed by this server
  • wp_discover_endpoints — Re-discovers all available REST API endpoints on a WordPress site

Adding it to your client

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.

Configuration

You will need 3 environment variables: USER, PASS, WP_SITES_PATH. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than in a file you might commit.

When to reach for it

Among the developer tooling options, the useful question is rarely "what can it do" but "what does it cost you to run" — permissions, credentials, and how much of your context its toolset consumes. Wp Standalone MCP's toolset — myblog_get_v2_posts, myblog_get_v2_posts_id, myblog_post_v2_posts and 8 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by diazoxide; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

This entry was verified against Wp Standalone MCP's own documentation before publication; SyncDev keeps the directory reviewed rather than auto-generated.

Caveats

  • It runs with your machine's permissions. That is convenient and also the reason to think about what you point it at before you approve a tool call.
  • With 11 tools registered it takes up a noticeable share of the context window; turn it off in projects that never touch Wp Standalone MCP.
  • MCP clients confirm each tool call by default. Leave that on until you have watched what the wp standalone mcp mcp server does with a few real requests.

Frequently asked questions

It connects Wp Standalone MCP to MCP-compatible AI assistants such as Claude and Cursor, exposing 11 tools (myblog_get_v2_posts, myblog_get_v2_posts_id, myblog_post_v2_posts, and more) that the assistant can call on your behalf. Instead of copying data back and forth by hand, the assistant works with Wp Standalone MCP directly.
