Very much a work in progress that has not progressed
You should go to https://github.com/Automattic/wordpress-mcp for a fully functional WordPress MCP implementation.
To try it you currently need a WordPress instance locally on http://localhost:8888/.
It is currently a python app, I used uv locally,so you will need to:
uv venv
source .venv/bin/activate
uv pip install -r requirements.txt
You can then run the server with uv run wp.py to see if you get any errors, but you don’t need to run from terminal as Claude will start its own instance.
You also need to add the following to your claude_desktop_config.json:
{ "mcpServers": { "wordpress": { "command": "uv", "args": [ "--directory", "/FULL/PATH/TO/wp-server-python", "run", "wp.py" ] } } }
