Claude

Connect Claude to WordPress in one click.

MCPWP supports Claude's connector sign-in: add your site as a connector, sign in with OAuth, and Claude can operate your WordPress — content, pages, Elementor, SEO, media — with every change checked and big ones waiting for your approval. Works in Claude, Claude Cowork and Claude Code.

Setup path

Sign in once, then make your first ask.

1 · Install

Upload and activate MCPWP on the WordPress site you want Claude to operate.

2 · Add the connector

In Claude: Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector → paste your site's MCPWP URL.

3 · Sign in

Claude opens your site's sign-in page. Log in as your WordPress user and approve the access scope. No keys to copy.

4 · First ask

“Look at my site and tell me what you can do.” Claude inspects before it ever edits.

Two ways to connect

OAuth sign-in, or a scoped API key.

A — Connector sign-in (recommended). In Claude or Claude Cowork, add a custom connector with your site URL. Claude handles the rest with OAuth — sign in, approve, done. Revoke access anytime from your WordPress admin.

Connector URL: https://your-site.com/wp-json/mcpwp/v1/mcp

B — API key (Claude Code, developers). Create a role-scoped key in WP Admin → MCPWP, then add:

"mcpwp": {
  "url": "https://your-site.com/wp-json/mcpwp/v1/mcp",
  "headers": { "X-API-Key": "mcpwp_your_scoped_key" }
}
FAQ

Questions buyers ask before connecting Claude.

Does it work in Claude Cowork?

Yes — Cowork uses remote connectors, which is exactly what MCPWP provides. Add the connector once and Cowork sessions can operate your site under the same approval rules.

Can Claude edit Elementor pages?

Yes. MCPWP validates every Elementor change before it saves — wrong widget settings get flagged or fixed instead of silently breaking your layout.

Can Claude publish posts?

Yes when the access scope allows it. Start with drafts; destructive or bulk operations create an approval request you confirm first.

How do I cut off access?

Revoke the connector's token or the API key in WP Admin → MCPWP. Access ends immediately; the activity log keeps the full history.
