WP x MCP turns Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini or Grok into a full operator for your WordPress & WooCommerce store. Describe the outcome in plain English — it researches, writes, builds pages, fixes SEO, and runs real changes on your live site through one secure, self-hosted endpoint.
Self-hosted · Your server, your API keys · Per-tool approval · Nothing leaves your site
Every model can tell you how to write a post, fix a sitemap or restock a product. None can reach into your site and do it. WP x MCP closes that gap with one secure endpoint — so the assistant you already pay for becomes the operator, copywriter and SEO it always pretended to be.
Tools are grouped by job and tagged by risk — read, write, or destructive — so your AI (and you) always know what a call will do before it runs.
Bulk-draft researched, Koray-style posts with meta, slugs, internal links, entities, LSI, schema, FAQ — written to a grade-5 reading level.
Generate beautiful pages with hero, columns, media-text and galleries — in Gutenberg, Kadence Blocks, or free Elementor.
21 Semantic/Holistic SEO prompts — topical maps, content briefs, entity mapping, heading vectors — pulled straight into your AI.
Yoast & Rank Math aware. Meta, JSON-LD schema, internal links, robots, sitemaps, bulk audits, plus an llms.txt generator for AI search.
Products, orders, customers and sales summaries — daily store operations, scriptable in plain English.
The revenue levers: coupons, bulk price & stock, variable products, refunds, imagery, top-seller and low-stock reports.
Create, edit, schedule and delete any post type, with full post-meta read/write and revision control.
Read, write, edit, search, zip and move files — with an exec-free syntax check, so saves work even on hardened hosts like Cloudways.
Run SQL, score health, optimize tables, and a serialized-safe search-and-replace for clean migrations.
Output-whitespace diagnostics (the sitemap-bug finder), WP-Cron control, DB optimization, and date-range sales analytics.
Scan the whole site for broken links and missing image alt text — then fix them in place.
Plugins, themes, options, cache, navigation menus, taxonomy trees and user management — the whole admin, by prompt.
You supply the topic and a few keywords. Your AI does the Koray-style research — entities, LSI terms, heading vectors, internal & external links — then writes each article and saves it straight to your site as a draft. You review and publish.
Describe the layout and WP x MCP assembles it with real blocks: a full-width hero, feature columns, image-beside-text, galleries, buttons and more. One spec, three builders — so it fits whatever your site already runs.
Koray-style Holistic SEO prompts ship with WP x MCP and load straight into any connected AI with get_prompt — no copy-paste from scattered docs.
No scripts, no SSH, no plugin spelunking. You describe the outcome; the assistant picks the tools and reports back.
The endpoint is one URL. Authentication is one key. Everything after that is conversation.
Upload the zip in Plugins → Add New and activate. A default API key is generated on activation.
Pick a scope — read-only, editor, or full — and copy the key. Use the least power the job needs.
Add it as a custom connector. Header-less clients carry the key in the URL:
https://yoursite.com/wp-json/wp-x-mcp/v1/mcp?key=•••Clients that accept a custom header send the key as X-WPXMCP-API-Key. Clients that don’t — like Claude’s connector dialog — carry it in the URL. Same endpoint either way.
Web, Desktop & mobile via custom connector. Paste the endpoint with ?key=.
Custom GPT Actions with an API-key header, or the URL form for quick setups.
Connect from function-calling agents or any MCP bridge.
Drive it from the xAI API through a thin MCP bridge.
Native MCP config with a headers block — the developer’s seat.
No-code automations — the URL form needs zero header config.
Full-control access is only safe when it’s scoped, approved, and yours. WP x MCP is built so the keys to your site never leave your hands.
Issue read-only, editor, or full keys per client. Revoke any key instantly. Reserve full keys for trusted, header-based use.
Every tool is tagged read / write / destructive. Destructive tools default to a preview, so nothing irreversible runs without your nod.
The server lives in your WordPress install. Content and credentials stay on your origin — no third-party SaaS in the middle.
Speakable schema, FAQ & TL;DR blocks, and an llms.txt generator help ChatGPT, Gemini & Perplexity cite you accurately.

The AI does the research and writing in your chat; the plugin persists it. With bulk_publish_posts it saves a whole batch as drafts — each with meta title/description, slug, internal links, featured image, entities, LSI keywords, BlogPosting + FAQPage schema, a TL;DR block, and a Flesch-Kincaid readability score. You review and hit publish.
Gutenberg (core, works everywhere), Kadence Blocks, and the free Elementor. One layout spec drives all three — hero covers, columns, media-text, galleries, buttons and more — with images sideloaded into your media library.
No. WP x MCP runs entirely inside your WordPress install. Your AI client talks directly to your endpoint using your key. There’s no intermediary cloud — only your site and the assistant you choose.
It’s as contained as you want. Keys are scoped to readonly, editor or full; destructive tools default to a dry_run preview and can require manual approval; every action is logged.
WordPress 6.x and PHP 8.1+. It runs on managed hosts like Cloudways, Kinsta and standard cPanel — and on hosts that disable exec(), file saves fall back to a pure-PHP syntax check so writing still works.
Yes. Content gets Speakable schema, FAQ and TL;DR blocks written as direct, quotable answers, and there’s an llms.txt generator — the signals ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity use to understand and cite your site.
Install WP x MCP, create a key, paste one URL — and the AI you already use becomes the operator, copywriter and SEO your site has been waiting for.
