WordPress as an AI-Native Publishing Platform
The WordPress connector exposes the WordPress core REST API to AI agents via MCP — posts, pages, taxonomies, media, users, comments, search, site health, settings, and SEO meta (Yoast / Rank Math).
What makes it different from a thin REST wrapper: skill tools and enum reference cards. Workflows like SEO refresh, content refresh, scheduled publishing, internal linking and media optimisation are exposed as on-demand wordpress_skill_* tools that return step-by-step playbooks. Enum values (post status, comment status, user role, site-health test slugs, SEO meta keys) live in wordpress_list_*_options tools — your agent fetches them only when needed instead of carrying them in the system prompt.
Quick Setup
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/HelpCode-ai/anythingmcp/main/docker-compose.quickstart.yml -o docker-compose.yml
printf 'JWT_SECRET=%s\nENCRYPTION_KEY=%s\n' "$(openssl rand -hex 32)" "$(openssl rand -hex 32)" > .env
docker compose up -d
Open http://localhost:3000/connectors/store, import the WordPress adapter, and supply:
WORDPRESS_URL— site root, e.g.https://example.com(HTTPS required)WORDPRESS_USERNAME— login of an Editor or Administrator accountWORDPRESS_APP_PASSWORD— generate in/wp-admin/profile.php → Application Passwords(built-in since WP 5.6)
