WPWriter — WordPress MCP Server

WordPress MCP server. Connect your self-hosted WordPress site to AI assistants (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code / GitHub Copilot, Gemini, and any MCP client) and run the full content loop: generate SEO-optimized posts and pages, edit and patch existing content, create AI featured and inline images, manage media, categories, tags and menus, manage WooCommerce products, run autoblogging, and track SEO and Search Console rankings — all on your own site, with your own credentials.

WPWriter is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for WordPress. 163 tools across 33 categories. Remote Streamable HTTP with OAuth 2.0 (keyless) or a wpw_ API key.

🔌 Endpoint: https://mcp.wpwriter.com/mcp

Connect

WPWriter is a remote MCP server — no install, no local process. Point your client at the endpoint and authenticate.

Endpoint: https://mcp.wpwriter.com/mcp (Streamable HTTP)
Auth: OAuth 2.0 (Dynamic Client Registration + PKCE — keyless, recommended) or a wpw_ Bearer API key from your WPWriter dashboard.

Claude / generic MCP client (JSON)

config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "wpwriter": {
      "url": "https://mcp.wpwriter.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

OAuth runs automatically on first connect. To use an API key instead:

config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "wpwriter": {
      "url": "https://mcp.wpwriter.com/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer wpw_YOUR_KEY" }
    }
  }
}

Cursor

One-click: Add to Cursor (deeplink on the docs page), or add the url above in Cursor's MCP settings.

VS Code / GitHub Copilot

Extensions view → @mcp → search WordPress / WPWriter, or add the remote url in your MCP config. (Listing in progress.)

How it works / data ownership

WPWriter does not wrap or resell a third-party API. Each user connects their own self-hosted WordPress site with their own credentials (user-owned infrastructure). WPWriter provides the AI content-generation and SEO infrastructure. Credentials are encrypted at rest; OAuth tokens are scoped per user.
