This MCP server provides a read-only bridge between your Local by Flywheel WordPress database and AI assistants, so your AI can see your real data and understand table structures, relationships, and content. It enables precise, data-driven queries without guessing schema details, making debugging and plugin development faster and safer.

How to use

Connect your MCP client to the Local WP MCP server, then ask your AI to read from your WordPress database and generate exact queries. You gain immediate visibility into the active Local site’s database schema and data, so you can perform targeted reads, join related tables, and validate results in real time. Typical tasks include fetching quiz activity data, inspecting table metadata, or retrieving specific WordPress options and user information. All actions are read-only by design, ensuring your data remains safe while you diagnose issues or develop plugins.

How to install
