It can generate and edit posts and pages, create featured and inline images, manage media, categories, tags and menus, update WooCommerce products, run autoblogging and check SEO scores and Search Console rankings. The README lists 163 tools in 33 categories. It runs as a hosted Streamable HTTP endpoint, so nothing is installed locally. Sign in with OAuth 2.0 on first connect, or send a wpw\_ API key from the WPWriter dashboard as a Bearer token. Each user links their own WordPress site with their own credentials. ## What it can do - Generate and improve SEO-optimized posts and pages - Edit, publish and schedule existing WordPress content - Create AI featured and inline images and manage media - Check SEO scores and Search Console rankings - Manage categories, tags and menus - Search and update WooCommerce products - Configure and trigger autoblogging runs ## Example prompts - "Write an SEO blog post about composting and save it as a draft on my site" - "Show SEO scores for my latest posts and suggest fixes" - "Generate a featured image for my newest post" - "Schedule the draft post titled Spring Sale for Friday at 9am" ## Install ### Claude Code 1. Run this in a terminal, in your project folder: ```bash claude mcp add --transport http wpwriter https://mcp.wpwriter.com/mcp ``` 2. Start Claude Code, type `/mcp`, pick **wpwriter** and choose **Authenticate**. A browser window opens for the WPWriter sign-in. Add `--scope user` to make it available in every project, not just this one. ### Claude Desktop 1. Open **Customize → Connectors**, click **+ Add**, then **Add custom connector**. 2. Name it **WPWriter** and paste this URL: ```url https://mcp.wpwriter.com/mcp ``` 3. Click **Add**, then **Connect**, and sign in when WPWriter 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://mcp.wpwriter.com/mcp` and click **Add**. 3. Click **Connect** and sign in when WPWriter 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://mcp.wpwriter.com/mcp` as the server URL and choose **OAuth**. ChatGPT sends you to WPWriter 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": { "wpwriter": { "url": "https://mcp.wpwriter.com/mcp" } } } ``` Cursor shows **Needs authentication** next to the server. Click the button beside it to sign in. ### VS Code [Install in VS Code]() (opens VS Code) Or from a terminal: ```bash code --add-mcp '{"name":"wpwriter","type":"http","url":"https://mcp.wpwriter.com/mcp"}' ``` Or commit it to the repo in `.vscode/mcp.json`: `.vscode/mcp.json`: ```json { "servers": { "wpwriter": { "type": "http", "url": "https://mcp.wpwriter.com/mcp" } } } ``` 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": { "wpwriter": { "serverUrl": "https://mcp.wpwriter.com/mcp" } } } ``` 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 wpwriter --url https://mcp.wpwriter.com/mcp codex mcp login wpwriter ``` Or edit `~/.codex/config.toml` directly: `config.toml`: ```toml [mcp_servers.wpwriter] url = "https://mcp.wpwriter.com/mcp" ``` ### Gemini CLI ```bash gemini mcp add --transport http wpwriter https://mcp.wpwriter.com/mcp ``` Then, inside Gemini CLI, run `/mcp auth wpwriter` 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": { "wpwriter": { "type": "http", "url": "https://mcp.wpwriter.com/mcp" } } } ``` 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://mcp.wpwriter.com/mcp`. ## Details - Server version: 2.0.0 - Last checked: 2026-10-07 (reachable, asks for credentials) - Listed: 2026-10-05 - Updated: 2026-10-05 --- Source: https://mcp.tc/i/wpwriter (mcp.tc is an independent directory, not affiliated with this server's publisher).
