Claude Code + WordPress, Connected via MCP

Claude Code is Anthropic’s agentic coding assistant — built to run in your terminal, manage your codebase, and execute multi-step tasks without switching contexts. With mumcp, you can add your WordPress site to that same workflow. One tool, one conversation, code and content in the same place.

Why Developers Connect WordPress to Claude Code

If you’re already using Claude Code to manage your codebase, your WordPress site is probably the one thing that still pulls you out of the terminal. Plugin updates in the dashboard. Blog posts in the editor. SEO tweaks in another tab. mumcp closes that gap by making your WordPress site a fully addressable MCP server — right inside Claude Code.

What You Can Do

Publish and Edit Content

Create posts, update pages, manage categories, and publish drafts — all from your terminal. No browser tab required. Claude Code calls mumcp’s MCP tools directly and reports back in the conversation.

Manage SEO at the Command Line

Read and update Yoast SEO metadata, set focus keywords, fix meta descriptions, and run bulk SEO updates across your entire site — as part of the same conversation where you’re debugging your theme or writing a plugin.

Automate Deployment Workflows

Build agentic workflows that write code and update the site at the same time. Claude Code can commit a feature to your repo and publish the corresponding announcement post to WordPress in a single task.

Control Media, Menus, and Settings

Upload images, update navigation menus, toggle Elementor settings, and manage API keys — all exposed as MCP tools that Claude Code can call on your instruction.

Setup: 3 Steps

Step 1 — Install mumcp on your WordPress site

Install and activate the mumcp plugin. Generate an API key from the plugin settings with the scope you need (read-only or full admin access).

Step 2 — Add to your Claude Code MCP config

Edit ~/.claude/mcp.json (or your project-level MCP config) and add your mumcp server:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "my-wordpress-site": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://yoursite.com/wp-json/site-pilot-ai/v1/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "X-API-Key": "your-api-key-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Step 3 — Start using it

Open Claude Code and try: “List my recent draft posts” or “Publish the post titled ‘Getting Started’ and set its focus keyword to WordPress MCP.” Claude Code will call mumcp’s tools and confirm each action.
