AutoWP MCP

What it does

AutoWP MCP bridges Claude (or any MCP-compatible AI client) directly to your WordPress site via the WordPress REST API. Instead of logging into the WordPress dashboard, you can instruct your AI assistant to draft and publish posts, manage users, upload media, handle categories and tags, and check site health — all in natural language.
