To install WordPress Server for Claude Desktop automatically viaSmithery:

npx -y @smithery/cli install server-wp-mcp --client claude

{ "site": { "type": "string", "description": "Site alias (as defined in configuration)", "required": true } }

{ "site": { "type": "string", "description": "Site alias", "required": true }, "endpoint": { "type": "string", "description": "API endpoint path", "required": true }, "method": { "type": "string", "enum": ["GET", "POST", "PUT", "DELETE", "PATCH"], "description": "HTTP method", "default": "GET" }, "params": { "type": "object", "description": "Request parameters or body data", "required": false } }

- Log in to your WordPress admin dashboard
- Go to Users → Profile
- Scroll to the "Application Passwords" section
- Enter a name for the application (e.g., "MCP Server")
- Click "Add New Application Password"
- Copy the generated password (you won't be able to see it again)

Note: Application Passwords require WordPress 5.6 or later and HTTPS.

Create a JSON configuration file (e.g.,wp-sites.json) with your WordPress site details:

{ "myblog": { "URL": "https://myblog.com", "USER": "yourusername", "PASS": "abcd 1234 efgh 5678" }, "testsite": { "URL": "https://test.example.com", "USER": "anotherusername", "PASS": "wxyz 9876 lmno 5432" } }

- URL: WordPress site URL (must include http:// or https://)
- USER: WordPress username
- PASS: Application password (spaces will be automatically removed)

The configuration key (e.g., "myblog", "testsite") becomes the site alias you'll use when interacting with the server.

Add to yourclaude_desktop_config.json:

{ "mcpServers": { "wordpress": { "command": "node", "args": ["path/to/server/dist/index.js"], "env": { "WP_SITES_PATH": "/absolute/path/to/wp-sites.json" } } } }

TheWP_SITES_PATHenvironment variable must point to the absolute path of your configuration file.

Once configured, you can ask Claude to perform various WordPress operations:
