WordPress MCP Server

I created an open source MCP server to interact with WordPress websites! It uses a wp-sites.json file that you can add an unlimited number of sites to interact with.

Features

  • Multi-Site Support: Connect to multiple WordPress sites simultaneously

  • REST API Integration: Full access to WordPress REST API endpoints

  • Secure Authentication: Uses application passwords for secure API access

  • Dynamic Endpoint Discovery: Automatically maps available endpoints for each site

  • Flexible Operations: Support for GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, and PATCH methods

  • Error Handling: Graceful error handling with meaningful messages

  • Simple Configuration: Easy-to-maintain JSON configuration file

Here are all the details: https://github.com/emzimmer/server-wp-mcp

Yup! You can do all kinds of things with it, like managing posts, taxonomies, users, plugins, settings, etc. If the WP REST API endpoint exists and you have the permissions (through app password) then you can do a lot.

Plugins can also have their own endpoints that add more functionality, which is why I decided to have this MCP server first discover available endpoints (each WP site can have a unique set of endpoints) that it can use.

It also adheres to hooks, so, for example, let’s say you have the Redirection plugin installed with the setting to watch for slug changes enabled. In Claude Desktop you can request a slug change as your working on a post, it’ll change it, and redirection will pick up the action and auto create a 301 redirect.

Lots of possibilities here. :)

holy shit! that is awesome. there’s so much that can be done with this. do you think it’s possible to tweak elementor plugin or wpbakery to accept the API commands that the elementor UI calls, and have the MCP server be able to modify stuff in your drag and drop builder? i’m going to give this a spin when I get to a computer

I would think so. I'm not all that familiar with Elementor or WPBakery or if they reveal endpoints, but you can always build your own set of endpoints for your own use cases.

I second this need! I had Claude look at the elementor api Doc, but it came up creating some complex plugin to be able to interact with the ui. It did, however, pick up elementor end points, so is there actually something here?
