Easy MCP AI – Connect Claude to WordPress: MCP Server for ChatGPT & AI Agents

Secure WordPress MCP server for Claude, ChatGPT and AI agents. Easy MCP AI is a free plugin that turns your own site into a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server. Connect Claude to WordPress, connect ChatGPT to WordPress, or give Cursor, OpenAI Codex, GitHub Copilot and other AI agents access limited to the tools and permissions you choose.

Your WordPress AI assistant can write and publish posts, update WooCommerce products, and edit Yoast or Rank Math SEO fields. It answers questions with data from Google Analytics, Search Console and Semrush. Every tool call runs under WordPress permissions, and, when logging is on, the Audit Log records each one.

Why Easy MCP AI

• Secure by design: OAuth 2.1, WordPress capability checks, per-token permissions, rate limits, an Audit Log and Change History
• 243 MCP tools: 96 for core WordPress, 93 for plugin integrations (WooCommerce, ACF, The Events Calendar, BuddyPress and the supported SEO plugins) and 54 for SEO and analytics
• One AI connector: works with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, OpenAI Codex, GitHub Copilot, Google Antigravity, Manus, n8n and more
• SEO data in chat: tools for Google Analytics, Search Console, Semrush, SE Ranking, DataForSEO and Ahrefs
• No relay, no vendor account: the MCP server is PHP on your own site, AI clients connect to your site directly, with no hosted relay, account or usage fee
• WordPress MCP adapter for the Abilities API: turn abilities from other plugins into MCP tools without writing code

• Cursor: use the one-click Add to Cursor button, or paste a config into mcp.json
• GitHub Copilot in VS Code: install with the one-click Install in VS Code button
• OpenAI Codex CLI: copy the prepared codex mcp add command, which includes your API token and connects through the mcp-remote bridge

What Your WordPress AI Agent Can Do

Content management: draft, rewrite, schedule and publish posts and pages. These tools also work in any custom post type, run find-and-replace inside content and restore revisions.

Gutenberg and site editing: create and edit Gutenberg blocks, reusable blocks, block templates and global styles.

Media: upload media from a file or a URL. For URL uploads the plugin downloads the file, and your AI agent can set alt text and captions.

Site admin: manage users, roles and user meta. Moderate comments and update site settings. Handle menus, categories, tags and custom taxonomies, and list plugins and themes.

Try prompts like:

• “Write a 500-word post about healthy eating and save it as a draft.”
• “Show today’s WooCommerce orders and total revenue.”
• “What keywords does my homepage rank for, and how many clicks do they get?”

WooCommerce MCP: Run Your Store with an AI Agent

47 WooCommerce tools give your WooCommerce AI agent control of products, variations, attributes, orders, customers, coupons and webhooks. Your AI agent can also read refunds, shipping zones and methods, tax rates and payment gateways, pull sales and top-seller reports, and bulk-update products, variations and orders.

SEO MCP for Yoast, Rank Math, AIOSEO, SEOPress, Slim SEO & The SEO Framework

Easy MCP AI works as a Yoast MCP or Rank Math MCP connector. It exposes your Yoast SEO or Rank Math fields as MCP tools. Your AI agent reads and updates SEO titles and meta descriptions. Where the SEO plugin supports them, it also edits canonical URLs, robots meta tags, Open Graph data, focus keywords and schema settings. Supported fields depend on the SEO plugin and on the version you run.

Google Analytics MCP, Search Console MCP & Semrush MCP

Pull data from Google Analytics, Search Console, Semrush, SE Ranking, DataForSEO and Ahrefs into chat. The 54 tools below use your own provider accounts and API keys.

• Google Analytics 4 (11 tools): traffic, top pages, conversions, custom dimensions and realtime users
• Google Search Console (6 tools): search queries, clicks, impressions, CTR, position, sitemaps and URL indexing
• Semrush (13 tools): domain overview, organic keywords, competitors, keyword difficulty and backlinks
• SE Ranking (15 tools): keyword and backlink research, competitors, top pages and AI-search visibility
• DataForSEO (8 tools): live search results pages, search volume, ranked keywords, backlinks and on-page SEO audits
• Ahrefs (1 tool): Domain Rating for any domain with a free Ahrefs APIv3 key. Show the credit “Domain Rating by Ahrefs” wherever you display the rating.

Setup: open Easy MCP AI → External Data. Upload a Google service-account key file (a JSON file), then set your default GA4 property and Search Console site. Add Semrush, SE Ranking, DataForSEO or Ahrefs credentials, click Test, and enable the tools you want.

Easy MCP AI calls a provider in three cases: when you save or test the credentials, when the External Data screen loads account details, and when an AI client runs one of that provider’s tools.

ACF, The Events Calendar & BuddyPress

• Advanced Custom Fields (ACF): 6 tools to read and update ACF fields on posts, users and terms, and list field groups
• The Events Calendar: 10 tools for events, venues and organizers
• BuddyPress: 10 tools for members, groups, activity and private message threads

WordPress Abilities API & MCP Adapter

WordPress 6.9+ lets plugins register Abilities. Easy MCP AI acts as a WordPress MCP adapter for them. Under Easy MCP AI → Abilities, select the abilities you want and save. The ones you select become MCP tools, and the adapter exposes nothing else. No adapter code is required. Find compatible plugins in the Abilities directory.

Change History & Audit Log

• Audit Log: when logging is on, the Audit Log records tool calls, including refused ones, with the token, tool, arguments, result, client IP and time. Entries are kept for 30 days by default.
• Change History: keeps before/after snapshots of what your AI client changes. It is enabled by default on new installs, and you can compare any recorded change in the admin. You can ask “what did the AI change on this post last week?” through the wp_history_list, wp_history_get and wp_history_diff tools.

Secure MCP Server for WordPress

Giving an AI client access to your site is a serious step. This MCP server runs inside WordPress, with no hosted relay in between. Tool results return to the authenticated client that requested them. Your content and credentials stay between your AI client and your own site, and the plugin sends nothing to its makers. The controls below cover sign-in, permissions, storage and logging.

• OAuth 2.1 with PKCE, Dynamic Client Registration, refresh-token rotation with reuse detection, audience binding and revocation
• WordPress permissions: every tool call runs as the WordPress user bound to the token or OAuth grant, with that user’s capability checks
• Least privilege: choose which tools each API token or OAuth grant can use, including read-only access
• Hashed tokens, encrypted credentials: token records are SHA-256 hashes, and external data credentials use AES-256-GCM encryption
• Rate limits and IP allowlist: 60 requests per minute per token by default, plus an optional IP allowlist for API tokens
• Force Draft on Create (off by default): any content your AI client creates is saved as a draft
• HTTPS: OAuth requires HTTPS on live sites (local loopback addresses are exempt), and API tokens should use HTTPS too
