Free — Connect Claude AI With WordPress MCP
Automate your WordPress website using Claude AI — completely free. Create blog posts, manage pages, and handle WooCommerce products through natural language chat. No coding required.
What You Can Do with Claude AI + WordPress MCP
Once connected, Claude AI becomes your personal WordPress assistant — controlled entirely through natural language chat. No dashboard clicking, no hiring a developer, no copying and pasting between tools. Here’s what you can do from inside the Claude interface:
Create SEO-friendly blog posts automatically, complete with H2/H3 headings and proper content structure
Create, update, and delete WordPress pages without ever opening the dashboard
Add and manage WooCommerce products using plain English descriptions
Audit existing posts for SEO issues and get actionable improvement suggestions
Analyze your entire WordPress content library for quality and keyword coverage
Schedule content creation tasks using Claude's built-in automation features
Check your site for potential security issues and malware signals
Move posts to trash or restore them — all from a single chat window
This is powered by the Model Context Protocol (MCP) — an open standard created by Anthropic that lets AI models connect directly to external tools and APIs. The free WSP MCP plugin exposes your WordPress capabilities to Claude in a structured, permission-controlled way so you stay in full control.
How to Connect Claude AI with WordPress: Step-by-Step
Download the WSP MCP Plugin
You now only need a single plugin. Go to the WSP MCP GitHub repository, click Releases, and download wsp-mcp-ai-agents-connector.zip from the latest release. The MCP Adapter is bundled inside, so there’s no separate adapter plugin to install anymore. It’s free and MIT licensed — no account required.
Install and Activate the Plugin in WordPress
In your WordPress dashboard, go to Plugins → Add Plugin → Upload Plugin. Upload the ZIP and click Activate Plugin. After activation, you’ll see a new “MCP” menu item appear in your sidebar.
Configure Which Abilities Claude AI Can Use
Click MCP → Settings. Toggle on the specific abilities you want Claude to have: create posts, read posts, delete posts, manage pages, WooCommerce products, comments, media, users, and more. Toggle off anything you don’t want Claude to touch — you stay in complete control.
Copy the Claude AI Config File
Go to MCP → Config Files and click “Copy to Clipboard” under the Claude AI section. This JSON snippet already includes your WordPress URL, ability endpoints, and connection credentials — it’s what connects the two systems together, with nothing to replace by hand.
Paste the Config into Claude and Restart
Open Claude → Settings → Developer → Edit Config. Paste the config JSON, save the file, then fully quit and reopen Claude. Return to Settings → Developer — you should see the WordPress MCP server listed and active. A red error means something in the config needs rechecking.
Test It — Ask Claude to Create a Blog Post
Open a new Claude chat and type: “Please create a new SEO-friendly blog post in my WordPress website about [your topic].” Claude will request permission on first use — click Always Allow. Within seconds you’ll have a fully structured, heading-tagged, SEO-ready blog post live in your WordPress dashboard.
