WordPress MCP

A Composer package that exposes WordPress functionality through the Model Context Protocol (MCP), enabling AI assistants to interact with your WordPress site.

Overview

This plugin registers a comprehensive set of WordPress abilities as MCP tools, allowing remote AI assistants to:

• Manage posts, pages, and custom post types
• Handle media uploads and management
• Create and manage users
