AutoWP MCP Server - WordPress Automation MCP Server

AutoWP MCP (Model Context Protocol) server connects Claude to WordPress sites and allows users to ask Claude to work on different tasks on their WordPress site like create and post blog posts and other WordPress site management tasks. It acts as a bridge between LLM clients like Claude Desktop and WordPress websites.

It provides a secure, standardized way for AI assistants to interact with WordPress sites through the WordPress REST API, without the need for direct database access.

- Handles secure login using WordPress application passwords
- Manages authentication sessions safely
- Test site connectivity before attempting operations

- Creates and publishes blog posts
- Formats raw text into WordPress-compatible HTML
- Manages post metadata (titles, excerpts, status)

- Retrieves available categories and tags
- Accesses the site structure and permissions
- Respects user role limitations (like your contributor role)

- Saves drafts locally for editing
- Loads previously saved content
- Enables iterative content development

{ "mcpServers": { "autowp": { "command": "node", "args": ["/path/to/your/autowp-mcp/build/index.js"] } } }
