- Install dependencies:

Add the server to your MCP settings file with environment variables for WordPress credentials:

{ "mcpServers": { "wordpress": { "command": "node", "args": ["path/to/build/index.js"], "env": { "WORDPRESS_SITE_URL": "https://your-wordpress-site.com", "WORDPRESS_USERNAME": "your-username", "WORDPRESS_PASSWORD": "your-app-password" } } } }

- WORDPRESS_SITE_URL: Your WordPress site URL
- WORDPRESS_USERNAME: WordPress username
- WORDPRESS_PASSWORD: WordPress application password

You can also provide these credentials in the request parameters if you prefer not to use environment variables.

- siteUrl: (optional if set in env) WordPress site URL
- username: (optional if set in env) WordPress username
- password: (optional if set in env) WordPress application password
