WordPress FAQs

Question 1

How does the tool dynamically discover WordPress API endpoints?

Accepted Answer

On startup, the server connects to your specified WordPress site and fetches the REST API index from the `/wp-json` endpoint. It then automatically identifies all core and plugin routes, their supported HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, PATCH), and arguments, converting each into an accessible MCP tool.

Question 2

Can this tool access endpoints from WordPress plugins or custom routes?

Accepted Answer

Yes, absolutely. The tool provides comprehensive access by automatically discovering and exposing all endpoints, not just core WordPress routes. This includes routes added by any installed plugins, ensuring you can automate interactions with your entire WordPress ecosystem.

Question 3

What is this WordPress tool (WP-MCP) and what does it do?

Accepted Answer

This tool is an MCP (Multi-Modal Command Protocol) server that wraps your WordPress REST JSON API. It dynamically discovers all available routes from your WordPress site and exposes each as a clean, intuitive tool, enabling AI and automation systems to interact with your content programmatically.

Question 4

How do I authenticate requests with the WordPress tool?

Accepted Answer

Authentication is supported via WordPress Application Passwords. You generate a unique application password from your WordPress user profile and configure your MCP client with your `WP_USERNAME` and the `WP_APP_PASSWORD` environment variables to make authenticated requests.

Question 5

What are 'clean tool names' and how do they benefit me?

Accepted Answer

The tool transforms complex WordPress API routes like `/wp/v2/posts` into intuitive, simplified tool names such as 'posts', 'categories', or 'media.id'. This makes it significantly easier for AI models and automation scripts to understand, reference, and interact with specific WordPress content types and functionalities.
