WordPress MCP connector

The WordPress connector lets AI agents read and edit a WordPress site through InsightfulPipe's hosted MCP server at https://wordpress.insightfulmcp.com/. You connect it with a WordPress application password, and agents can work with posts, pages, revisions, media, comments, categories, tags and site search.

WordPress MCP server reference

Endpoint: https://wordpress.insightfulmcp.com/
Server name: wordpress-mcp
Actions: 34 (18 read, 16 write). Workspace owners, admins and operators choose which actions each connected account exposes, and destructive actions are off by default.

Add it from a terminal, then click Authorize access in the browser window that opens:

claude mcp add --transport http wordpress-mcp https://wordpress.insightfulmcp.com/
gemini mcp add --transport http wordpress-mcp https://wordpress.insightfulmcp.com/
codex mcp add wordpress-mcp --url https://wordpress.insightfulmcp.com/

What agents can do

Content: list and get posts and pages (filter by status, category, tag, author and date), their revisions, and search across content.
Publishing: create and update posts and pages.
Media: list, get and update media items, and create media item metadata.
Comments: list, get, create, update and delete comments.
Taxonomy: list, create, update and delete categories and tags, and list taxonomies and post types.
Account: get the user the connection runs as.

Before you connect

Your WordPress site URL and username.
An application password for that user, created from the user's profile in WordPress. The user's WordPress role decides what agents can change.

Connect WordPress

In the InsightfulPipe app, open Connectors, choose WordPress and click Connect.
Enter your site URL, username and application password.
Save the connection.
Add the MCP server to Claude, ChatGPT or another client, then click Authorize access.

Permissions and safety

Creating or updating a post with status publish makes it live. Ask for drafts when you want to review first.
delete_category, delete_comment, delete_media and delete_tag are destructive, so they stay off until an owner, admin or operator enables them in Configure actions for this account.

Limits

No actions to delete posts or pages.
Media actions handle metadata; uploading a file isn't supported through this connector.
No user management or site settings actions.

Example prompts

"Using WordPress, list posts published this month with their categories."
"Find draft posts not updated in the last 30 days."
"Create a draft post titled Q3 Product Updates in the News category."
"Show the pending comments on our latest post."

Troubleshooting

Authentication fails: create a new application password for the user and reconnect. A normal login password won't work here.
Edits fail: the WordPress user may not have permission. Use a user with the right role.
