No code. No configuration. Just install, activate and connect. #### What You Can Do with the Lite Version * **Auto-Discovery** — Automatically detects all CPTs, taxonomies, custom fields, ACF groups and any registered meta.

This is used only when the user explicitly requests a system diagnostics report. The data sent is the WordPress version number. No personal data is transmitted. * Service: [WordPress.org](https://wordpress.org/) * [Terms of Use](https://wordpress.org/about/terms-of-service/) * [Privacy Policy](https://wordpress.org/about/privacy/) #### OAuth 2.1 Authentication This plugin implements an OAuth 2.1 server so that MCP clients (Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot, Cursor, etc.) can authenticate with your site. The OAuth flow happens entirely between the MCP client application and your own WordPress site. No data is sent to any third-party service by the plugin during authentication. The MCP client connects directly to your site’s REST API endpoints. ## Installation 1. Upload the `mcp-content-manager-lite` folder to `wp-content/plugins/`. 2. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** menu in WordPress. 3. Install and activate the [WordPress MCP Adapter](https://github.com/WordPress/mcp-adapter) plugin. 4. Go to **Settings MCP Content Manager Lite** to review the configuration. 5. Connect your MCP client to your site (see below). 6. Start managing your content with natural language! #### Connecting Your MCP Client The plugin works with any MCP client that supports remote servers with OAuth 2.1 authentication. **Your MCP Server URL is:** https://your-domain.com/wp-json/mcp/mcp-adapter-default- server You can find the exact URL in the plugin settings page (Settings > MCP Content Manager Lite > Status tab). **Claude Desktop / Claude Code / Cowork:** 1. Go to Settings > MCP Servers > Add server. 2. Paste your MCP Server URL as the endpoint. 3. When you connect for the first time, your browser will open an authorization page — click Authorize. 4. Done! Ask Claude to discover your site schema and start working. **ChatGPT (OpenAI):** 1. Enable Developer Mode in ChatGPT settings. 2. Add a new remote MCP server and paste your MCP Server URL. 3. ChatGPT will handle OAuth registration and authentication automatically. **VS Code / GitHub Copilot:** 1. Open VS Code settings (1.101+) and add a new MCP server. 2. Paste your MCP Server URL as the endpoint. 3. Authenticate via the OAuth browser flow when prompted. 4. Use Copilot Chat to manage your WordPress site. **Cursor / Windsurf / Continue / Augment Code:** 1. Open the MCP server settings in your client. 2. Add a new server and paste your MCP Server URL. 3. Complete the OAuth 2.1 authentication when prompted. 4. Start managing content with natural language. The OAuth 2.1 handshake happens automatically — you only need to authorize once per device. ## FAQ ### What is AI Mode and why does it say it requires WordPress 7.0? AI Mode is a built-in chat interface that lets you talk to AI assistants (Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, etc.) directly from your WordPress admin panel. It uses the Connectors API introduced in WordPress 7.0, so it will become available when you update to that version. In the meantime, you can already use **all content management abilities** by connecting your AI assistant (Claude Desktop, ChatGPT, Copilot, Cursor, etc.) to your site via MCP. The MCP connection works with WordPress 6.9 and gives you full access to create, edit, search and manage content using natural language from your preferred AI client. ### Does it work with any custom post type? Yes. The plugin auto-discovers all registered CPTs, including those from WooCommerce, ACF, Toolset, Pods, CPT UI, Jetpack and any custom implementation. If WordPress knows about it, so does your AI assistant. ### Do I need to write code? No. Install, activate and connect. The plugin handles discovery and content management automatically. Your AI assistant will know your full site structure without any configuration. ### Which MCP clients are supported? Any MCP-compatible client that supports remote servers with OAuth 2.1 works. Confirmed clients include: * **Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cowork** (Anthropic) — Full native OAuth 2.1 support. * **ChatGPT** (OpenAI) — Full native OAuth 2.1 with Dynamic Client Registration. * **GitHub Copilot in VS Code** — Native OAuth support (VS Code 1.101+). * **Continue** — Full native OAuth 2.1 support in VS Code and IntelliJ. * **Augment Code** — Native OAuth with one-click approval for popular services. * **Windsurf** (Codeium) — OAuth support for remote MCP servers. * **Cursor AI** — OAuth support (some servers may require the mcp-remote bridge). * **JetBrains AI Assistant** — MCP support in JetBrains IDEs (2025.2+). There are 500+ MCP clients available. Any application that implements the Model Context Protocol with remote server support should work. ### Is it secure? Yes. The plugin uses OAuth 2.1 with PKCE for authentication. All MCP connections require proper authorization. Options access is restricted to a security whitelist. The Lite version provides read-only access to users, options and theme settings. ### Can I use Lite and Premium at the same time? If both plugins are active, the Premium version takes over automatically and you will see a friendly notice suggesting you deactivate the Lite version. There will be no errors or conflicts. ### Does it work with WooCommerce? The Lite version auto-discovers WooCommerce post types (products, orders) so you can read them, but full store management (variations, refunds, customers, analytics, shipping, subscriptions) is available in the **[Premium version](https://plugins.joseconti.com/en/product/mcp-content-manager-for-wordpress/)**. ### Can I manage SEO from my AI assistant? SEO management (Yoast, Rank Math, AIOSEO) is a Premium feature. **[Upgrade to Premium](https://plugins.joseconti.com/en/product/mcp-content-manager-for-wordpress/)** for unified SEO meta management and redirect control. ### Does it include backups? The Time Machine backup system with automatic snapshots before updates and one-click rollback is a Premium feature. **[Get Premium](https://plugins.joseconti.com/en/product/mcp-content-manager-for-wordpress/)** for peace of mind on every update. ### Can it detect and clean malware? Yes, with the Premium version (v2.1+). Your AI assistant can verify core file integrity against official checksums, scan wp-content for malware patterns, detect database injections (scripts, iframes, hidden spam, pharma hacks), identify rogue admin accounts, verify plugins against WordPress.org, analyze .htaccess for malicious rules, replace infected core files with clean versions, and regenerate security salts. All diagnostic scans are read-only and all cleanup actions require your explicit confirmation. ** [Get Premium](https://plugins.joseconti.com/en/product/mcp-content-manager-for-wordpress/)** to protect your site. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “MCP Content Manager Lite” is open source software.
