What people say

Built for people who maintain real sites

We run forty client sites. Bulk meta descriptions used to be a week of somebody's life. It is now an afternoon, and the afternoon is mostly reviewing.

Sample Name Founder, Sample Agency

I stopped opening wp-admin for small changes. I describe what I want, read the diff, and approve it.

Sample Name Freelance developer

Four hundred price updates from a supplier spreadsheet, done in one conversation. No CSV import to babysit.

Sample Name Ecommerce manager

The draft-by-default setting is what sold it internally. Nothing reaches the site without someone looking at it first.

Sample Name Head of content

How it works

Three steps, about five minutes

There is no dashboard to learn and no second subscription. The plugin turns your site into an MCP server that your AI client connects to directly.

01

Create a free account and download the plugin

One page, one email address, no card. The zip is waiting in your account straight after signup.

02

Install and activate it on your site

Upload it under Plugins, activate, and copy the endpoint the plugin shows you. Shared hosting is fine.

03

Paste the endpoint into your AI and start talking

Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or anything else that speaks MCP. Ask for a change the way you would ask a developer.

Example client config

All connect guides
json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "wordpress": {
            "command": "npx",
            "args": [
                "-y",
                "mcp-remote",
                "https://your-site.com/wp-json/wpwithai/mcp/v1"
            ]
        }
    }
}

Your real endpoint and token appear inside the plugin after you activate it. Nothing here needs to be typed by hand.

What you can do

Everything you can do in wp-admin

The plugin exposes the WordPress REST API, the options table, and the file system as MCP tools. If an administrator can do it from a browser, your AI can do it from a chat window.

Content and pages

Draft, edit, schedule, and restructure posts and pages. Bulk edits included, so a hundred posts take the same sentence as one.

Media library

Upload, replace, and organise files. Write alt text for every image that is missing it, in one pass.

Plugins and themes

Search, install, activate, deactivate, and update. Ask what a plugin does before you install it.

Users and roles

Create users, change roles, audit capabilities, and find the accounts nobody has used since 2021.

Settings and options

Permalinks, reading and writing settings, menus, widgets, and anything else stored in the options table.

SEO plugins

Yoast, Rank Math, and AIOSEO fields are readable and writable, including titles, descriptions, and schema settings.

WooCommerce

Products, variations, categories, stock, prices, coupons, and orders, through the same connection.

Custom post types, ACF and meta

Whatever your site is actually built from: custom post types, taxonomies, ACF fields, and raw post meta.

Theme and code files

Read and edit theme files, add CSS, and debug a template without opening an FTP client.

Safe by default

Write access, with the brakes on

Handing an AI the keys to a live site is a reasonable thing to be nervous about. The defaults are set so the cautious answer is the one you get without configuring anything.

  • Application password authentication

    Connections use a WordPress application password, not your login. Your account password is never shared with the AI client.

  • Your roles and capabilities still apply

    Every action runs as the connected user. An editor cannot install plugins through the AI, because an editor cannot install plugins.

  • New content is created as a draft

    Publishing is a separate, explicit step. Nothing reaches your visitors until you say so.

  • Deletions go to trash

    Posts, pages, and media are trashed rather than removed, so a mistake is one click to undo.

  • Destructive actions need approval

    Permanent deletion, bulk overwrites, and settings changes that affect the whole site stop and ask before they run.

  • Search and replace runs dry first

    You see the list of every match and what it would become, then decide whether to apply it.

  • Credentials are stored encrypted

    Tokens are encrypted at rest in your database. They are never sent to us, because there is no server of ours in the path.

  • Revoke access in one click

    A single button in wp-admin invalidates the connection. The AI loses access immediately, with no cleanup on your side.

  • Every action is logged

    An audit log records what ran, when, and as which user, so you can answer "what changed" without guessing.

  • File editing is off by default

    Theme and plugin file access is opt-in. Turn it on when you want it and leave it off when you do not.

Comparison

How it compares

There is more than one way to point an AI at WordPress. Here is where each option fits.

Feature comparison between WP with AI, the WordPress MCP Adapter, and the WordPress.com MCP server.
Feature WP with AI WordPress MCP Adapter WordPress.com MCP
Full REST API
WP-CLI style commands
Theme and file editing
Plugin APIs and Abilities
Works in Claude.ai and ChatGPT on the web
Self-hosted WordPress
Local and remote connection Both Local Remote
Price Free Free Plan required

The official WordPress MCP Adapter is a good choice if you work locally and want something maintained by the project itself. WP with AI covers more ground and connects from hosted clients, which is the difference that matters if you want to change your live site from Claude on your phone.
