WordPress MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides direct access to the WordPress REST API — allowing LLMs, agents, and automation tools to perform structured actions such as publishing posts, fetching content, managing media, or retrieving site data.

This server runs on Apify as a standby actor, meaning it only activates when invoked via an MCP client. It authenticates securely using WordPress Application Passwords and an Apify token passed in the URL query string.

For more details about MCP and how to connect servers, visit mcp.apify.com.

🌐 Connection URL

Connect to this MCP server at:

https://extremescrapes--wordpress-mcp-server.apify.actor/mcp?token=apify_api_yourtokenhere

⚠️ Important: Replace apify_api_yourtokenhere with your personal Apify API token, which you can find under Apify Console → Integrations.

The token must be appended as a query parameter (?token=...) — header-based authorization is not used.

---

⚙️ Client Configuration

To connect using an MCP-compatible client (like MCP Inspector or LM Studio), use:

{
  "servers": {
    "wordpress": {
      "url": "https://extremescrapes--wordpress-mcp-server.apify.actor/mcp?token=apify_api_yourtokenhere",
      "headers": {
        "x-wp-url": "https://yourwordpresssite.com",
        "x-wp-username": "your_wp_username",
        "x-wp-password": "your_wp_app_password"
      }
    }
  }
}

Note:

• No Authorization header is required.

• The token must be included in the URL query string.

• WordPress credentials are passed as headers:

  • x-wp-url: Your WordPress base URL (e.g., https://example.com)
  • x-wp-username: Your WordPress username
  • x-wp-password: Your WordPress Application Password

All credentials are used in-memory only — they are never stored or logged.

🔒 Authentication

This server uses two authentication layers:

1. Apify Token (via URL)

   • Required to activate the standby actor.

   • Example:

     https://extremescrapes--wordpress-mcp-server.apify.actor/mcp?token=apify_api_wLcRks0Rh6E5jCusmirDrhX7sYwvYM2ICXPM
     

   • You can generate or view your token in your Apify account settings.

2. WordPress Application Passwords

   • Used to securely authenticate with your WordPress REST API.
   • Generate under: Dashboard → Users → Profile → Application Passwords

🧠 Available Tools

The WordPress MCP Server exposes a structured set of tools (actions) that correspond to standard WordPress REST API endpoints.

---

🧩 Example Usage

Once connected to this MCP server, your LLM or MCP-compatible client (like ChatGPT, Claude, or MCP Inspector) can directly call WordPress actions through structured tool invocations.

For example, in a chat with an LLM that has this server configured, you can simply say:

User: Create a new post on my WordPress site titled “Hello from MCP” with the content “This post was published automatically via the WordPress MCP Server.”

The LLM will automatically invoke the wp_create_post tool behind the scenes, using your configured credentials and Apify token.
