You run an MCP server that automatically discovers WordPress 6.9+ Abilities and exposes them as AI-accessible tools. This lets you query site information and perform actions through a standardized MCP interface without hardcoding each ability.

How to use

Start by running your MCP client against this server. The WordPress Abilities API is discovered at runtime, so you don’t need to predefine tools. The MCP server will present tools such as wp_core_get_site_info and wp_core_get_environment_info, and any plugin-provided abilities that register themselves will automatically appear as additional tools. You interact with the tools through your MCP client by selecting a tool, supplying the required inputs, and requesting the corresponding WordPress ability.

How to install

Prerequisites you need installed on your system before starting:

Node.js 18+
npm (comes with Node.js)
Access to a WordPress 6.9+ site with Abilities API enabled

Install the MCP WP Abilities package globally so you can run the server from anywhere:

npm install -g mcp-wp-abilities
