Connect WordPress

Give your AI agents control of a WordPress site — build pages, edit Elementor, manage WooCommerce, handle media and SEO — through one MCP connection.

Connecting WordPress lets your agents operate a real site: create and edit pages and posts, build layouts in Elementor, manage WooCommerce products, upload and optimize media, and run SEO — all through natural language over MCP. The connector is MCPWP, a WordPress plugin that exposes 250+ tools.

#What your agents can do

• Content — create/update posts and pages, bulk operations, drafts, scheduling
• Design — build and edit Elementor layouts (sections, columns, widgets), global styles
• WooCommerce — products, categories, store SEO reports
• Media — upload, generate, describe, and alt-text images; stock photo search
• SEO — audits, keyword research, internal linking, structured data, autofix plans
• Site — menus, options, themes, health checks, blueprints

Every change is approval-first where you configure it — agents propose, you approve.

#Two ways to connect

#Managed proxy (fastest)

Point your AI client at the managed proxy — no self-hosting:

https://mcp-proxy.mumega.com/{your-site}/

The proxy handles auth and routing to your WordPress site. Best for agencies managing many client sites from one place.

#Self-hosted plugin (sovereign)

Install the MCPWP plugin on your WordPress site and connect your AI client directly to it. Your site, your plugin, your keys.

1. Install MCPWP on your WordPress site (from the plugin, or mcpwp.net).
2. In WordPress: MCPWP → API keys → Create a key.
3. Add the MCP endpoint + key to your AI client (Claude, Cursor, Windsurf).

#Connect your AI client

Once you have an endpoint and key, add it to your client’s MCP config. For example:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "wordpress": {
      "url": "https://mcp-proxy.mumega.com/your-site/",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer <YOUR_MCPWP_KEY>" }
    }
  }
}

Your agent now has the full WordPress toolset. Start with wp_onboard — it returns a site briefing (content inventory, active integrations, available tools) so the agent knows what it’s working with before it acts.

#First steps for an agent

1. wp_onboard — get the site briefing
2. wp_get_site_context — read the brand style guide and design rules
3. wp_detect_plugins — confirm which integrations (Elementor, WooCommerce) are available
4. Then build or edit — on-brand, approval-first

#Safety

• Approval-first: configure which actions require your sign-off before they apply.
• Scoped keys: each API key is revocable; revoke from MCPWP → API keys anytime.
• Brand-governed: agents read your brand book first and stay on-brand.

#Next

• Connect your AI tool — the one-line MCP setup
• Mint and manage agents — give specific agents WordPress access
