# WordPress.com MCP server
> Read and manage posts, pages, media, comments and stats across your WordPress.com sites.
- Listing: https://mcp.tc/i/wordpress-com
- Connect: use the server's own URL `https://public-api.wordpress.com/wpcom/v2/mcp/v1` (OAuth sign-in at the server); clients connect to it directly. The listing link is a page, not an MCP endpoint.
- Type: remote (Streamable HTTP)
- Auth: OAuth sign-in
- Category: [Design, Websites & CMS](https://mcp.tc/c/design)
- Vendor: Automattic
- Verified: yes, mcp.tc checked that this is the official server (https://mcp.tc/verify). It says who runs the server, not that it is safe.

## About
Connects an AI assistant to your WordPress.com sites through the built-in MCP server. Based on the OAuth scopes and documentation, it covers sites, posts, comments, taxonomy and user data, so you can read and manage content and review site information from your assistant.
It runs as a hosted streamable HTTP endpoint at public-api.wordpress.com and uses OAuth sign-in. MCP access must be turned on in your account settings first. It is available on WordPress.com paid plans and for the first 30 days of free sites. Self-hosted WordPress needs the WordPress MCP Adapter plugin or a Jetpack AI or Complete plan.
## What it can do
- Read and manage posts and pages
- Work with media and comments
- Manage taxonomy such as categories and tags
- Look up site and user information
- Sign in with OAuth, no API key to copy
## Example prompts
- "List my five most recent draft posts on my WordPress.com site."
- "Draft a new post about our spring launch and save it as a draft."
- "Show the latest comments waiting for approval."
- "Which of my WordPress.com sites have the most posts?"
## Install
### Claude Code
1. Run this in a terminal, in your project folder:
```bash
claude mcp add --transport http wordpress-com https://public-api.wordpress.com/wpcom/v2/mcp/v1
```
2. Start Claude Code, type `/mcp`, pick **wordpress-com** and choose **Authenticate**. A browser window opens for the Automattic sign-in.
Add `--scope user` to make it available in every project, not just this one.
### Claude Desktop
1. Open **Settings → Connectors** and click **Add custom connector**.
2. Name it **WordPress.com** and paste this URL:
```url
https://public-api.wordpress.com/wpcom/v2/mcp/v1
```
3. Click **Add**, then **Connect**, and sign in when Automattic asks.
Claude Desktop’s JSON config file only starts local servers. Remote servers go through Connectors, and connectors you add on claude.ai show up here too.
### claude.ai
1. Open the connector form on claude.ai. This button fills in the name and URL for you:
[Add to claude.ai]() (opens connector settings)
2. Check that the URL reads `https://public-api.wordpress.com/wpcom/v2/mcp/v1` and click **Add**.
3. Click **Connect** and sign in when Automattic asks.
Free plans allow one custom connector. On Team and Enterprise plans an owner adds it under **Organization settings → Connectors**.
### ChatGPT
1. On chatgpt.com, open **Settings → Security and login** and turn on **Developer mode**.
2. Go to `chatgpt.com/plugins` and click **+** to create an app for a remote MCP server.
3. Paste `https://public-api.wordpress.com/wpcom/v2/mcp/v1` as the server URL and choose **OAuth**. ChatGPT sends you to Automattic to sign in.
Developer mode is available on the web for Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise and Education accounts.
### Cursor
[Add to Cursor]() (opens Cursor)
Or add it by hand to `~/.cursor/mcp.json` (all projects) or `.cursor/mcp.json` (this project):
`mcp.json`:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"wordpress-com": {
"url": "https://public-api.wordpress.com/wpcom/v2/mcp/v1"
}
}
}
```
Cursor shows **Needs login** next to the server. Click it to sign in.
### VS Code
[Install in VS Code]() (opens VS Code)
Or from a terminal:
```bash
code --add-mcp '{"name":"wordpress-com","type":"http","url":"https://public-api.wordpress.com/wpcom/v2/mcp/v1"}'
```
Or commit it to the repo in `.vscode/mcp.json`:
`.vscode/mcp.json`:
```json
{
"servers": {
"wordpress-com": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://public-api.wordpress.com/wpcom/v2/mcp/v1"
}
}
}
```
VS Code asks you to sign in the first time the server starts.
### Devin Desktop
1. Add it to `~/.config/devin/mcp_config.json` (macOS and Linux) or `%APPDATA%\devin\mcp_config.json` (Windows):
`mcp_config.json`:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"wordpress-com": {
"serverUrl": "https://public-api.wordpress.com/wpcom/v2/mcp/v1"
}
}
}
```
2. Refresh the MCP server list in Cascade and sign in when asked.
Devin Desktop is the new name for Windsurf. It reads `serverUrl` (or `url`) for remote servers.
### Codex
```bash
codex mcp add wordpress-com --url https://public-api.wordpress.com/wpcom/v2/mcp/v1
codex mcp login wordpress-com
```
Or edit `~/.codex/config.toml` directly:
`config.toml`:
```toml
[mcp_servers.wordpress-com]
url = "https://public-api.wordpress.com/wpcom/v2/mcp/v1"
```
### Gemini CLI
```bash
gemini mcp add --transport http wordpress-com https://public-api.wordpress.com/wpcom/v2/mcp/v1
```
Then, inside Gemini CLI, run `/mcp auth wordpress-com` to sign in.
This adds it to the current project. Add `-s user` to use it everywhere.
### Any client
Most clients accept this shape. Some name the URL field differently: `serverUrl` in Devin Desktop, `httpUrl` in Gemini CLI’s settings file.
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"wordpress-com": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://public-api.wordpress.com/wpcom/v2/mcp/v1"
}
}
}
```
Zed puts servers under `context_servers` in its settings. Cline needs `"type": "streamableHttp"`, or it assumes SSE.
Client only starts local servers? Bridge it with `npx -y mcp-remote https://public-api.wordpress.com/wpcom/v2/mcp/v1`.
