Security and access

Where requests go, whose account Claude uses, and what you control.

Server

public-api.wordpress.com

On the developer’s own domain (wordpress.com), not a third-party host. Claude sends requests here when it uses a tool.

Account

Your own WordPress.com account

You sign in when you connect. Claude works through that account, so it reaches what the account can reach.

Control

You approve write tools

In Claude’s connector settings you can choose, tool by tool, whether Claude must ask before using it. Write tools are marked in the list above. See write tools

Policy

Published by Automattic (WordPress.com) and linked from the official listing. Read it ↗

Anthropic’s directory notes that it does not control which tools a developer exposes and cannot guarantee they work as intended or stay the same. Connect connectors you trust.

Questions people ask

What does the WordPress.com connector do in Claude?

Manage and create on your WordPress site through a conversation with Claude. Ask Claude to find a post, check your stats, draft something new, update a page, or pull up a comment thread. Your sites stay secure — Claude only gets access to what you approve, nothing more. Your site already knows your style — your theme, your colors, your fonts, every creative decision you've made. Claude can see all of it, so when it helps you create, the content actually fits. 60+ abilities. Every change is confirmed by you. Available on all paid WordPress.com plans and any Jetpack AI or Complete-connected site. For developers: Under the hood, this connector is powered by the WordPress.com MCP server. It uses OAuth 2.1 to ensure agents only access the resources you've explicitly approved, making it easy for you to build and extend AI-driven workflows on top of WordPress.

Is the WordPress.com connector official?

It is made by Automattic (WordPress.com) and carries the Anthropic verified mark in Anthropic’s directory. This site is independent and lists it from the official directory.

What is the WordPress.com MCP server URL?

https://public-api.wordpress.com/wpcom/v2/mcp/v1. It is a remote MCP server hosted at public-api.wordpress.com. Paste it into Claude as a custom connector, or add it to Claude Code with: claude mcp add --transport http wordpress-com https://public-api.wordpress.com/wpcom/v2/mcp/v1

How do I add WordPress.com to Claude Code?

Run "claude mcp add --transport http wordpress-com https://public-api.wordpress.com/wpcom/v2/mcp/v1" in your terminal, then start Claude Code, type /mcp, choose wordpress-com and sign in to WordPress.com. Add "--scope user" to make it available in every project.

Do I need a WordPress.com account?

Yes. You sign in to WordPress.com when you connect it, and Claude works through that account.

Can Claude change or delete my WordPress.com data?

Judging by tool names, 1 of its 16 tools can change data. The other 2 only read. In Claude you can choose, per tool, whether Claude must ask before using it.
