How to Set Up and Use Claudeus WordPress
Claudeus WordPress MCP Server is a TypeScript-based MCP server that bridges AI assistants with WordPress sites through the WordPress REST API, providing over 145 tools for comprehensive site management. It covers content creation and editing, media management, taxonomy control, user administration, Full Site Editing templates, WooCommerce integration, and site health diagnostics. Teams and individual developers use it to automate repetitive WordPress tasks — drafting posts, moderating comments, updating global styles, managing plugins — entirely through natural language conversations without accessing the WordPress admin dashboard.
Prerequisites
- Node.js 18 or later with npx available
- A WordPress site with REST API enabled and accessible
- A WordPress Application Password generated for an admin user (Users > Profile > Application Passwords)
- A wp-sites.json credentials file mapping site aliases to URL, USER, PASS, and authType
- An MCP-compatible client such as Claude Desktop or Cursor
Generate a WordPress Application Password
Log in to your WordPress admin, go to Users > Profile, scroll to Application Passwords, enter a descriptive label, and click Add New Application Password. Save the generated string.
Create your wp-sites.json credentials file
Create a JSON file that defines your WordPress sites. Each key is a site alias you will use to refer to the site in prompts.
{
"production": {
"URL": "https://yoursite.com",
"USER": "admin",
"PASS": "xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx",
"authType": "basic"
}
}Install the package globally
Install claudeus-wp-mcp via npm so it is available as a command for the MCP client to execute.
npm install -g claudeus-wp-mcpConfigure your MCP client
Add the server to your claude_desktop_config.json, setting the WP_SITES_PATH environment variable to the absolute path of your wp-sites.json file.
{
"mcpServers": {
"claudeus-wp-mcp": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "claudeus-wp-mcp"],
"env": {
"WP_SITES_PATH": "/absolute/path/to/wp-sites.json"
}
}
}
}Restart Claude Desktop and verify the connection
Fully restart your MCP client. Ask the AI to list the WordPress tools or describe the production site to confirm the server is connected and authenticated.

401 Unauthorized when making API requests
Double-check the PASS value in wp-sites.json — it must be the Application Password (formatted as xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx), not your WordPress login password. Also verify the user account has Administrator privileges.
Server starts but no tools are visible in the client
Confirm the WP_SITES_PATH environment variable points to a valid, readable JSON file. Test by running: node -e "require(process.env.WP_SITES_PATH)" with the same env var set. An invalid path silently prevents tool registration.
REST API returns 403 errors for specific operations
Security plugins like Wordfence or WP Cerber may block certain REST API endpoints. Check the plugin settings for REST API restrictions and whitelist your client IP, or temporarily disable the security plugin to identify whether it is the cause.
