Comprehensive Model Context Protocol server for WordPress management with 59 tools, performance monitoring, intelligent caching, auto-generated documentation, Docker support, TypeScript, and production-ready authentication

Package Exports

  • mcp-wordpress
  • mcp-wordpress/dist/index.js

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (mcp-wordpress) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

๐Ÿš€ Lazy Setup via Claude Desktop

Super Easy NPX Setup

If you want the absolute easiest setup, just paste this prompt into Claude Desktop:

Set up the MCP WordPress server using NPX for my Claude Desktop. 

My WordPress details:
- Site URL: [YOUR_WORDPRESS_URL]
- Username: [YOUR_USERNAME]

Please:
1. Help me create a WordPress Application Password
2. Configure my Claude Desktop mcp.json file with the NPX command
3. Test the connection to make sure everything works
4. Show me how to use the WordPress tools

I want to use the NPX version (mcp-wordpress) so I don't need to install anything locally.

Full Local Development Setup

For local development and customization:

Build and configure the MCP WordPress server project from https://github.com/thomasdyhr/mcp-wordpress locally on my computer. 

Please:
1. Clone the repository to an appropriate directory
2. Install all dependencies 
3. Run the setup wizard and help me configure my WordPress connection
4. Test the connection to make sure everything works
5. Set up the Claude Desktop MCP configuration
6. Run a quick test to verify all tools are working

My WordPress site URL is: [YOUR_WORDPRESS_URL]
My WordPress username is: [YOUR_USERNAME]

Guide me through any steps that require manual input, and let me know if you need any additional information from me.

Just replace [YOUR_WORDPRESS_URL] and [YOUR_USERNAME] with your actual WordPress site details, and Claude will handle the rest!

๐Ÿ”ง Configuration

Environment Variables (.env)

WORDPRESS_SITE_URL=https://your-wordpress-site.com
WORDPRESS_USERNAME=your-username

  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-wordpress": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["mcp-wordpress"],
      "env": {
        "WORDPRESS_SITE_URL": "https://your-site.com",
        "WORDPRESS_USERNAME": "your-username", 
        "WORDPRESS_APP_PASSWORD": "your-app-password",
        "WORDPRESS_AUTH_METHOD": "app-password"
      }
    }
  }
}

Option 2: Global Installation

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-wordpress": {
      "command": "mcp-wordpress",
      "env": {
        "WORDPRESS_SITE_URL": "https://your-site.com",
        "WORDPRESS_USERNAME": "your-username",
        "WORDPRESS_APP_PASSWORD": "your-app-password",

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-wordpress": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["mcp-wordpress"],
      "env": {
        "NODE_ENV": "production"
      }
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop Configuration File Locations

  • macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
  • Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
  • Linux: ~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

Quick Configuration Steps

  1. Create or locate your Claude Desktop config file at the path above
  2. Add the MCP server configuration using one of the options above
  3. Restart Claude Desktop for changes to take effect
  4. Verify the connection - you should see WordPress tools available in Claude Desktop

Example Complete Configuration

Here's a complete claude_desktop_config.json file with MCP WordPress:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-wordpress": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["mcp-wordpress"],
      "env": {
        "WORDPRESS_SITE_URL": "https://your-site.com",
        "WORDPRESS_USERNAME": "your-username",
        "WORDPRESS_APP_PASSWORD": "your-app-password",
        "WORDPRESS_AUTH_METHOD": "app-password"
      }
    }
  }
}

๐ŸŒ Multi-Site Configuration

MCP WordPress Server supports managing multiple WordPress sites from a single configuration. This is perfect for agencies, developers managing multiple client sites, or anyone with multiple WordPress installations.

Setting Up Multi-Site Configuration

  1. Create a mcp-wordpress.config.json file in your project root:
{
  "sites": [
    {
      "id": "site1",
      "name": "My Main Site",
      "config": {
        "WORDPRESS_SITE_URL": "https://site1.com",
        "WORDPRESS_USERNAME": "admin",
        "WORDPRESS_APP_PASSWORD": "xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx"
      }
    },
    {
      "id": "site2", 
      "name": "My Blog",
      "config": {
        "WORDPRESS_SITE_URL": "https://blog.site2.com",
        "WORDPRESS_USERNAME": "editor",
        "WORDPRESS_APP_PASSWORD": "yyyy yyyy yyyy yyyy yyyy yyyy",
        "WORDPRESS_AUTH_METHOD": "app-password"
      }
    },
    {
      "id": "dev",
      "name": "Development Site",
      "config": {
        "WORDPRESS_SITE_URL": "http://localhost:8080",
        "WORDPRESS_USERNAME": "dev_user",
        "WORDPRESS_APP_PASSWORD": "zzzz zzzz zzzz zzzz zzzz zzzz"
      }
    }
  ]
}
  1. Configure Claude Desktop for Multi-Site:
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-wordpress": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["mcp-wordpress"]
    }
  }
}

Note: When using multi-site configuration, you don't need to specify environment variables in Claude Desktop. The server will read from your mcp-wordpress.config.json file.

Using Multi-Site Tools

When you have multiple sites configured, all tools require a site parameter:

# List posts from site1
wp_list_posts --site="site1"

# Create a post on the blog site
wp_create_post --site="site2" --title="New Blog Post" --content="Content here"

# Get user info from development site
wp_get_current_user --site="dev"

Important Multi-Site Notes

  • Site IDs must be unique - Each site needs a unique identifier
  • Security: The mcp-wordpress.config.json file contains sensitive credentials and should NEVER be committed to version control
  • Default Site: If only one site is configured, it will be used by default without needing the --site parameter
  • Authentication: Each site can use different authentication methods (app-password, jwt, basic, api-key)

Example: Managing Multiple Client Sites

{
  "sites": [
    {
      "id": "client-acme",
      "name": "ACME Corporation",
      "config": {
        "WORDPRESS_SITE_URL": "https://acme-corp.com",
        "WORDPRESS_USERNAME": "mcp_admin",
        "WORDPRESS_APP_PASSWORD": "aaaa bbbb cccc dddd eeee ffff"
      }
    },
    {
      "id": "client-tech",
      "name": "TechStartup Blog",
      "config": {
        "WORDPRESS_SITE_URL": "https://blog.techstartup.io",
        "WORDPRESS_USERNAME": "content_manager",
        "WORDPRESS_APP_PASSWORD": "gggg hhhh iiii jjjj kkkk llll"
      }
    },
    {
      "id": "client-shop",
      "name": "Online Shop",
      "config": {
        "WORDPRESS_SITE_URL": "https://shop.example.com",
        "WORDPRESS_USERNAME": "shop_admin",
        "WORDPRESS_APP_PASSWORD": "mmmm nnnn oooo pppp qqqq rrrr",
        "WORDPRESS_AUTH_METHOD": "jwt",
        "WORDPRESS_JWT_SECRET": "your-jwt-secret-here"
      }
    }
  ]
}

Then in Claude Desktop, you can manage all sites:

# Check posts across all client sites
wp_list_posts --site="client-acme" --per_page=5
wp_list_posts --site="client-tech" --per_page=5
wp_list_posts --site="client-shop" --per_page=5

# Update content on specific sites
wp_update_post --site="client-acme" --id=123 --title="Updated Title"

# Manage media across sites
wp_list_media --site="client-shop" --media_type="image"

๐Ÿงช Contract Testing with Live WordPress

Test the MCP server against a real WordPress instance using our automated testing setup:

# Automated live contract testing (recommended)
npm run test:contracts:live

This command will:

  • ๐Ÿณ Start isolated WordPress + MySQL containers (port 8081)
  • โš™๏ธ Auto-configure WordPress with test data and authentication
  • ๐Ÿงช Run contract tests against the live WordPress API
  • ๐Ÿงน Clean up automatically when done

Features:

  • Zero Conflicts: Uses isolated containers with separate ports
  • Fully Automated: WordPress installation, user creation, and app password generation
  • Real API Testing: Validates actual WordPress REST API behavior
  • CI/CD Ready: Works in continuous integration environments

Manual Setup Alternative:

# Test setup phase only
bash scripts/test-setup-only.sh

# Use existing WordPress instance
export WORDPRESS_TEST_URL="https://your-wordpress-site.com"
export WORDPRESS_USERNAME="your-username"  
export WORDPRESS_APP_PASSWORD="your-app-password"
export PACT_LIVE_TESTING="true"
npm run test:contracts
