## Description
**Ask ChatGPT or Claude about your site — and let it fix the text.**
AdMindra MCP turns your site into a secure MCP server for the AI assistant you
already use. Connect ChatGPT, Claude or Claude Code in a minute, sign in with OAuth(
no passwords, no API keys), and ask in plain language:
* “Which plugins need updating, and is anything inactive?”
* “Why does the registration page show a raw shortcode?”
* “Rewrite the introduction on the About page, shorter.”
* “What does this template file actually do?”
#### Reads by default, edits content when you allow it
Out of the box the assistant only reads. Switch **content edits** on under
Tools
AdMindra MCP and it can also change the title, text and excerpt of a post or page,
and the site title and tagline. The text from before each change is kept as a revision,
so it can be undone in the editor (unless revisions are switched off in `wp-config.
php`).
The assistant never installs, updates, activates, deactivates or deletes a
plugin
or theme, writes a file, publishes or deletes a post, or touches users and other
settings. There is no switch that allows any of that.
* **Administrators only.** Other roles are refused at the consent screen, and
every tool checks the `manage_options` capability on every call.
* **You approve each assistant** on a consent screen that names it, and can
disconnect
it at any time.
* **No overwrites unseen.** An edit must name the version of the post it
read;
if somebody changed it in wp-admin meanwhile, the edit is refused.
* Only files of installed plugins and themes can be read. `wp-config.php`,
hidden
files, symbolic links, and files whose names suggest secrets, credentials or
backups are refused.
#### What the assistant can do
* Read the site status: WordPress and PHP version, and whether MCP is ready.
* List the installed plugins and themes, with versions and which are active.
* List the updates that WordPress’s own update check last found, with the
installed
and offered version and whether each fits your WordPress and PHP, so it can tell
you which to run now and which to wait with. You run them on WordPress’s Updates
screen; the assistant gives you the link.
* Check published pages for shortcodes that are not registered.
* Find and read posts and pages, and read one source file of an installed
plugin
or theme (up to 128 KiB).
* With content edits on: edit a post or page, and the site title and tagline.
#### Fixing plugins and themes too
**AdMindra MCP Maintenance** is a separate add-on that lets the same assistant
also replace plugin and theme files and run updates, with an encrypted backup, a
health check and automatic rollback. It is free with an AdMindra account and is
downloaded there, not from WordPress.org. AdMindra MCP works fully without it.
#### 100% free
No account, no paid tier, nothing locked. AdMindra MCP sends nothing to
AdMindra.
Built on the official MCP Adapter.
#### Made by AdMindra
AdMindra MCP is developed by Viktor Grahn at
[3on Reklambyrå & Webbyrå AB](https://3on.se),
a Swedish web and advertising agency, and the team behind [AdMindra](https://admindra.com).
* Documentation: [admindra.com/wordpress-plugin](https://admindra.com/wordpress-plugin/#admindra-mcp)
* Support: [admindra.com/support](https://admindra.com/support/)
### External services
This plugin connects to the AI service that a site administrator chooses to
connect(
ChatGPT by OpenAI, or Claude by Anthropic). Nothing is contacted until an administrator
starts connecting one of them. The plugin sends nothing to AdMindra or to 3on Reklambyrå&
Webbyrå AB.
#### ChatGPT and Codex (OpenAI)
ChatGPT is an AI assistant by OpenAI, and Codex is OpenAI’s coding agent. The plugin
uses it as the MCP client
that reads the site, at the administrator’s request.
* **When ChatGPT or Codex connects**, the plugin downloads its public OAuth
client
metadata document from `https://chatgpt.com/oauth/client.json` or https://chatgpt.
com/oauth/codex/client.json (or the connection-specific `https://chatgpt.com/
oauth/…/client.json` an administrator saved under Tools AdMindra MCP), to verify
that the client asking for access is ChatGPT. The request contains no data about
the site beyond what any web request carries (the server’s IP address and WordPress’s
user agent, which includes the site’s address). The document is cached and fetched
again only when the cache expires.
* **After an administrator approves the consent screen**, ChatGPT receives
the
results of the tools it calls, and only those: the WordPress and PHP versions
and the site’s address, the installed plugins and themes with their versions,
the updates WordPress last found, the titles, addresses and shortcodes of the
pages it checks, the posts and pages it finds or reads, and the contents of the
source files it reads.

openai.com/policies/privacy-policy/
#### Claude (Anthropic)
Claude is an AI assistant by Anthropic. The plugin uses it as the MCP client
that
reads the site, at the administrator’s request.
* **When Claude or Claude Code connects**, the plugin downloads Claude’s
public
OAuth client metadata document from https://claude.ai/oauth/mcp-oauth-client-
metadata (Claude) or https://claude.ai/oauth/claude-code-client-metadata (Claude
Code), to verify that the client asking for access is Claude. The request contains
no data about the site beyond what any web request carries (the server’s IP address
and WordPress’s user agent, which includes the site’s address). The document
is cached and fetched again only when the cache expires.
* **After an administrator approves the consent screen**, Claude receives
the
results of the tools it calls, and only those — the same list as for ChatGPT
above.

#### Your own site
The bundled OAuth library adds a Site Health test that loads the site’s own
/.well-
known/oauth-protected-resource and /.well-known/oauth-authorization-server documents,
when an administrator opens Tools Site Health. That request goes from the server
to the site itself and nowhere else.
The plugin itself never contacts WordPress.org: the “Available updates” tool
reads
what WordPress’s own update check has already stored, and the Install MCP Adapter
button opens WordPress’s own install screen, where WordPress downloads MCP Adapter
from WordPress.org as it does for any plugin.
### Privacy
The plugin stores, in your own database, the content edits switch and a
ChatGPT
client URL if you saved one. Content edits are kept by WordPress as revisions. The
bundled OAuth library stores a signing secret and creates one Application Password
per connected client, listed under Users Profile. Deleting the plugin removes its
own options, including any that version 1.0.0 or earlier left behind (its edit switch,
audit log and file backups).
AdMindra’s privacy policy, which says the same: https://admindra.com/privacy/
### Source and bundled code
Everything in the plugin is plain PHP source. It bundles
[wp-media/mcp-oauth](https://github.com/wp-media/mcp-oauth)
2.0 (GPL-2.0-or-later) and [wp-media/apply-filters-typed](https://github.com/wp-media/apply-filters-typed)
1.2 (GPL-3.0-or-later) by WP Media in `vendor/`, installed with composer install–
no-dev from `composer.lock`; their licences are beside them. Because one bundled
library is GPLv3, the plugin as distributed is covered by GPLv3; AdMindra’s own
code is GPLv2 or later. The OAuth library is a WP Media project, not an official
WordPress component. Three local changes to it — negotiating the public-client method
for ChatGPT’s metadata, stricter token time and scope checks, and binding codes
and refresh tokens to the client that asked for them — are recorded in `patches/
oauth-2.0-chatgpt-and-claims.patch`.

## Installation
1. Install and activate **AdMindra MCP**.
2. It needs **MCP Adapter** 0.7 or newer, the free MCP server plugin from the WordPress
AI team. If it is not active yet, Tools AdMindra MCP (and the Plugins screen)
show a button: WordPress installs and activates it on its own screen and brings
you back. You can also install it yourself under Plugins Add New.
3. Make sure the site uses HTTPS and pretty permalinks (Settings Permalinks, anything
but “Plain”).
4. Open **Tools AdMindra MCP** and copy the MCP URL, normally https://your-site/wp-
json/mcp/mcp-oauth-server.
5. Connect your assistant (step-by-step instructions with your own URL are on the
same screen):
6. * **Claude** (claude.ai, desktop and mobile): Settings Connectors Add custom
connector, paste the URL, leave the OAuth client ID and secret empty, and choose
Connect.
* **Claude Code**: `claude mcp add --transport http mysite `, then /mcp
Authenticate.
* **ChatGPT**: add a custom MCP connector with the URL and OAuth. No client secret
and no WordPress password are needed.
7. Sign in to WordPress as an administrator when asked, and approve the consent screen,
which names the assistant.
8. Ask the assistant for the site status. Switch content edits on under Tools AdMindra
MCP when you want it to change text.
## FAQ
### Can the assistant change my site?
Only its content, and only after you switch content edits on: the title,
text and
excerpt of posts and pages, and the site title and tagline. Each change keeps a
revision. It cannot install, update, activate or delete plugins or themes, write
files, or change users and other settings.
### How do I undo an edit?
Open the post or page in the editor and choose Revisions. The text before the
assistant’s
change is there.
### Why do I need MCP Adapter?
MCP Adapter, by the WordPress AI team, is the MCP server: it is what ChatGPT
and
Claude talk to. AdMindra MCP adds the tools, OAuth sign-in and the settings screen
on top. AdMindra MCP activates without it and shows a button that opens WordPress’s
own install screen for it.
### Do I need an AdMindra account?
No. The plugin works on its own and sends nothing to AdMindra.
### Which AI clients can connect?
Claude (claude.ai, the desktop and mobile apps, and Claude Code) and ChatGPT
(chatgpt.
com), each identified by the OAuth client metadata document it publishes, so nothing
has to be registered or pasted. If ChatGPT shows you a connection-specific client
URL, paste it under Tools AdMindra MCP. No other client is trusted.
### Claude asks for an OAuth client ID
Leave the client ID and secret under Advanced settings empty. Claude
identifies
itself with its own client metadata, and this plugin trusts it.
### How do I disconnect an assistant?
Users Profile Application Passwords: delete the entry with the
assistant’s name.
Its access and refresh tokens stop working at once.
### The OAuth discovery links show a 404 or a login page
Both `/.well-known/oauth-protected-resource` and
/.well-known/oauth-authorization-
server must reach WordPress. Save your permalinks again, exclude those paths and`/
wp-json/mcp/` from page caches, and ask your host whether the web server answers`.
well-known` itself.
### The assistant gets 401
The token expired or was revoked, or the host strips the `Authorization`
header
before PHP sees it. Reconnect, and ask the host to pass Authorization: Bearer through.
### I had “AdMindra WP MCP”
That was this plugin’s name up to 0.11.0. Deactivate and delete it; AdMindra
MCP
picks up your settings.

## Changelog
#### 1.1.2
* Codex (OpenAI) can connect: its client document on chatgpt.com is trusted like
ChatGPT’s, so it no longer stops on “This OAuth client is not a verified publisher”.
#### 1.1.1
* Activates even when MCP Adapter is not active yet, instead of WordPress
stopping
on an error page. Tools AdMindra MCP and the Plugins screen show one button
that opens WordPress’s own install screen for MCP Adapter and comes back when
it is active.
* “Available updates” also says the installed version, what each update
needs
and whether it fits the site, and links WordPress’s Updates screen. It still
only reads.
#### 1.1.0
* The tools that could replace plugin and theme files, restore a backup and
run
plugin and theme updates are removed from this plugin, together with the switch
that turned them on and the code behind them. They are the separate add-on AdMindra
MCP Maintenance.
* New: find, read and edit posts and pages, and the site title and tagline,
behind
a content edits switch that is off by default. Every edit keeps a revision and
is refused if the post changed since it was read.
* “Available updates” reads WordPress’s own stored update check instead of
starting
one, so the plugin never contacts WordPress.org itself.
* The readme lists each external service with what is sent and when.
* Uninstall also removes what 1.0.0 left behind.
#### 1.0.0
* Renamed from AdMindra WP MCP for the plugin directory (“wp” is not allowed
in
a plugin name). Settings, the audit log and backups carry over.
* Fixed: updating an active plugin over MCP left it deactivated. It now stays
active, and the health check runs against the new code.
* Fixed: a lock left by a killed request blocked every later edit until it
was
removed by hand. It now expires after 30 minutes.
* The registration audit no longer has one site’s name built in; pass
search to
look for any text.
* File edits and updates use WordPress’s filesystem API, and are refused
without
direct filesystem access.
* Translatable, with Settings, documentation, support, terms and privacy
links,
and an uninstaller.
* Step-by-step connection instructions for Claude, Claude Code and ChatGPT
on
the settings screen.
#### 0.11.0
* Last release as AdMindra WP MCP.
