Get WP-MCP Pro \u2192<\/a><\/p>\n\nSecurity<\/h4>\n\n
Every request goes through:\n* WordPress Application Password authentication\n* Rate limiting (configurable)\n* Full audit logging\n* Danger confirmation for destructive actions<\/p>\n\n
How It Works<\/h4>\n\n\n- Install and activate WP-MCP<\/li>\n
- Go to WP-MCP \u2192 Dashboard<\/strong> and generate an Application Password<\/li>\n
- Paste the connection prompt into Claude or Codex<\/li>\n
- Start managing your site in plain English<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n
Requirements<\/h4>\n\n\n- WordPress 6.3+<\/li>\n
- PHP 8.1+<\/li>\n
- Claude (claude.ai) or Codex<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n
\n- Upload the
wp-mcp<\/code> folder to \/wp-content\/plugins\/<\/code><\/li>\n- Activate the plugin through Plugins \u2192 Installed Plugins<\/strong><\/li>\n
- Go to WP-MCP<\/strong> in your admin sidebar<\/li>\n
- Follow the 3-step connection wizard on the dashboard<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
\nDoes this require any coding?<\/h3><\/dt>\nNo. WP-MCP is designed for non-technical users. Everything is done through plain English prompts in Claude or Codex.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Is it safe?<\/h3><\/dt>\nYes. All requests require authentication via WordPress Application Passwords, are rate-limited, and are fully logged in the audit log. Destructive actions require confirmation.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Does it work with Claude.ai?<\/h3><\/dt>\nYes. WP-MCP works with Claude via the Cowork SSE connector. You can also use it with Claude Code (the CLI tool).<\/p><\/dd>\n
Does it work with Codex?<\/h3><\/dt>\nYes. WP-MCP includes a companion setup for OpenAI Codex.<\/p><\/dd>\n
What's the difference between Free and Pro?<\/h3><\/dt>\nThe free version includes 21 essential tools for content management, users, media, and site health. Pro adds 100+ tools including Magic Tools, WooCommerce, SEO, Elementor, Theme editing, and advanced features.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Will this slow down my site?<\/h3><\/dt>\nNo. WP-MCP only activates when an AI client makes a request. It has zero impact on your site's front-end performance.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
