Developer creates read/write WordPress MCP plugin with 28 abilities
A developer has created a WordPress plugin that provides full read/write MCP (Model Context Protocol) access for AI coding agents like Claude Desktop and Claude Code. The plugin addresses limitations in existing solutions: the official WordPress MCP Adapter is read-only, the WordPress.com connector has restrictions, and Jetpack AI is a closed system inside Gutenberg.
Key Features
The plugin registers 28 MCP abilities through the WordPress Abilities API, which is new in WordPress 6.9. The abilities are organized into three categories:
Content Management
- Search, create, edit, publish, schedule, and trash posts and pages
- Upload and manage media with SSRF protection on remote URLs
- Manage categories, tags, and comments
- Block-level editing for surgical changes
Content Quality
audit-post: scan for dead links, HTTP links, missing metadata, deprecated HTML, broken imagesrepair-post: automated fixes for what audit finds (http→https, legacy HTML→Gutenberg blocks, excerpt generation)- Revision history with line-based diffs
Safety Features
dry_runmode: preview what any write would do before committing- Concurrency guards:
expected_modified_gmtprevents accidental overwrites - Three server surfaces (reader / editorial / full) with different permission levels
- Audit logging: every change recorded with context (which MCP ability vs wp-admin)
Technical Details
The plugin is designed for a dedicated Editor-role WordPress user, with user-level restrictions that allow Claude to manage content but prevent access to plugins, themes, or settings. It automatically converts between Markdown (which Claude works in) and Gutenberg blocks (which WordPress stores).
Setup
Setup involves uploading the plugin zip, activating it, creating a dedicated WordPress user with an application password, and pointing your MCP client at the endpoint. The plugin bundles the MCP Adapter, requiring no npm, proxy server, or separate dependencies. Full setup instructions are in the readme.
The plugin works with Claude Desktop, Claude Code, or any MCP client, is free under GPL-2.0 license, has no tracking or upsell, and requires WordPress 6.9+. The project is available on GitHub at https://github.com/anotherpanacea-eng/anotherpanacea-wordpress-mcp.
