Solid plugin with real publishing workflow potential

Running this on a WordPress.com-hosted news site as the MCP backend for Claude. Setup was straightforward and the core toolset covers the essentials well: post creation and editing, media lookup, meta field updates, category assignment. Yoast SEO fields and custom schema fields both read and write correctly once registered via register_rest_field – that was the critical test for our workflow.

Two feature requests worth considering for future versions:

Image upload via URL sideload. The current base64 upload method is impractical for full-size images – encoding a modest WebP runs to thousands of characters and frequently times out. A URL-based sideload endpoint (pass a public image URL, WordPress fetches it directly) would solve this cleanly. WordPress has the native capability; it just needs exposing via the plugin.

WPCode snippet access. Attempted to expose WPCode snippets via the REST API using register_post_type_args and direct $wp_post_types manipulation – WPCode Lite blocks both approaches. A dedicated tool for reading and writing WPCode snippets would be genuinely useful for AI-assisted site management. We worked around it with a custom pbn/v1 REST route but native support would be cleaner.

wp_delete_post is listed in tool descriptions but doesn’t appear to exist – wp_update_post references it for trash operations but there’s no corresponding tool. Worth adding or correcting the reference.

Overall a reliable foundation. The direct URL connection model is better than intermediary connector plugins.
