About this plugin
WP-MCP connects AI assistants like Claude and Codex directly to your WordPress site using the Model Context Protocol (MCP) — an open standard for AI tool integration.
Once connected, you can manage your entire site through plain English conversations:
- “Write a blog post about summer gardening and publish it”
- “Show me all my draft posts”
- “List all users with admin access”
- “Run a health check on my site”
- “Show me the last errors in my debug log”
No coding. No page builders. Just talk to your AI assistant.
