How to Set Up and Use AutoWP MCP
AutoWP MCP Server is a Node.js Model Context Protocol server that connects Claude to WordPress sites through the WordPress REST API, enabling AI-assisted content creation, publishing, and site management without direct database access. It supports creating and publishing blog posts, managing media uploads, handling categories and tags, managing users and roles, checking site health, and applying WordPress core updates. Content teams and developers can use it to have Claude draft and publish posts, manage taxonomy, handle media libraries, and perform routine WordPress administration — all through natural language.
Prerequisites
- Node.js 18 or higher installed
- npm installed with the package
- A WordPress site with the REST API enabled (enabled by default on WordPress 4.7+)
- WordPress Application Passwords enabled (built in since WordPress 5.6) — create one under Users > Profile > Application Passwords
- An MCP-compatible client such as Claude Desktop
Clone the repository
Clone the AutoWP MCP repository to your local machine.
git clone https://github.com/Njengah/autowpmcp.git
cd autowpmcpInstall dependencies and build
Install npm dependencies and build the TypeScript source to JavaScript.
npm install
npm run buildCreate a WordPress Application Password
In your WordPress admin, go to Users > Your Profile > Application Passwords. Enter a name like 'Claude MCP' and click Add New Application Password. Copy the generated password — you will need it when the MCP tool prompts for authentication.
Add to your MCP client configuration
Edit your claude_desktop_config.json to register AutoWP MCP. Use the absolute path to the built index.js file.
Authenticate on first use
After connecting, use the authenticate-wp tool in Claude. Provide your WordPress site URL, username, and the Application Password you generated. You can also use test-wp-connection to verify connectivity.
AutoWP MCP Examples
Client configuration
Add this block to your claude_desktop_config.json to connect Claude to your WordPress site via the AutoWP MCP server.
{
"mcpServers": {
"autowp": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["/absolute/path/to/autowpmcp/build/index.js"]
}
}
}Prompts to try
Use these prompts with Claude after authenticating to your WordPress site.
- "Write a 1000-word blog post about the benefits of remote work and publish it to my WordPress site"
- "Create a draft post titled 'Top 10 JavaScript Tips' and save it for review"
- "List all categories on my WordPress site"
- "Upload the image at /path/to/photo.jpg to my media library with alt text 'Office workspace'"
- "Check my WordPress site health and tell me if there are any critical issues"
- "List all users on my site and show their roles"Troubleshooting AutoWP MCP
Authentication fails when connecting to WordPress
Ensure you are using an Application Password, not your regular WordPress login password. Application Passwords are separate credentials created under Users > Profile > Application Passwords. Also confirm the WordPress REST API is accessible by visiting https://yoursite.com/wp-json/wp/v2/posts in a browser.
Posts are created as drafts instead of being published
This may be due to user role limitations. WordPress contributors can only create drafts; authors and above can publish directly. Either elevate the user role associated with your Application Password or ask Claude to explicitly set the post status to 'publish' when creating content.
node build/index.js fails with module not found errors
Ensure you ran both npm install and npm run build before adding the server to your MCP configuration. The build step compiles TypeScript to JavaScript in the build/ directory. Also confirm you are using an absolute path in the args array.
