WordPress.com MCP with Claude: Publish, Moderate and Report on Your Site Content Faster
The short answer
Claude works with WordPress.com through the Model Context Protocol (MCP), an open standard that acts as a secure adapter between the two. Once connected with OAuth sign-in, Claude can read site content, draft and update posts, upload media, moderate comments and review site statistics, using permissions your organisation controls.
What is WordPress.com?
WordPress.com is a hosted website and blogging platform. Creators, marketing teams and publishers use it to build websites, publish posts, manage images and video, and track how content performs. Because it is hosted, teams do not need to run their own servers. It suits solo bloggers, small businesses, agencies and corporate communications teams that publish content regularly and want a simple way to grow their audience online.
How Claude connects to WordPress.com through MCP
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that lets Claude securely use other software, both reading information and taking actions. Think of it as a universal adapter between Claude and the tool. WordPress.com supports secure sign-in through OAuth, so your team connects its own account rather than sharing passwords.
Once connected, Claude can typically read your existing posts and pages, draft new articles in your house style, prepare and update metadata, organise media uploads, flag spam or unclear comments, and summarise traffic and engagement figures in plain language. Each action runs under the permissions you grant, so Claude only touches the parts of the site you allow.
Permissions and approvals keep people in charge. Your team can limit access to specific sites or actions, and require a human to review anything that goes live, such as publishing a post or approving a comment. Activity can be logged, so you can see what was changed and when.
What you can automate
Drafting and scheduling blog posts
A content lead gives Claude a brief, a target keyword and a few source notes. Claude drafts the article, suggests a headline and summary, and saves it as a draft in WordPress.com. The editor reviews and schedules it. This shortens the time from idea to published post while keeping editorial control with people.
Managing the media library
Marketing teams often have hundreds of images and documents with inconsistent names and missing descriptions. Claude can help organise uploads, suggest clear file names and alt text for accessibility, and point out unused media, so the library stays tidy and easier to search.
Moderating comments
Busy blogs attract spam and off-topic remarks. Claude can sort pending comments into likely spam, questions needing a reply and comments that look fine to approve. A moderator makes the final decision, which cuts the daily queue considerably.
Reviewing site performance
A communications manager can ask, in plain English, which articles drew the most visitors last month or which topics lost momentum. Claude pulls the relevant site statistics and writes a short summary with suggested next steps, ready for the weekly marketing meeting.
Refreshing older content
Older articles often contain outdated facts or broken references. Claude can review a list of archived posts, flag sections that need updating and propose revised wording. Editors approve each change before anything is republished.
An end-to-end workflow: Weekly content pipeline from research to published post
TriggerEvery Monday, a new topic is added to the content planning sheet in Microsoft 365.
Claude reads the topic, target audience and keyword from the planning spreadsheet.
Claude reviews recent WordPress.com posts to avoid repetition and suggest internal links.
Claude drafts the article and metadata, then saves it as a draft on WordPress.com.
The editor reviews the draft, edits it and adds approved images from the media library.
Once approved, the post is scheduled, and the status is updated back in the planning sheet.
OutcomeTypically, the team moves from topic to scheduled post in a fraction of the usual time, with a consistent publishing rhythm and a clear record of each step.
How we set it up
Free automation audit
We review how your team publishes and moderates content today and identify the workflows worth automating, such as drafting, media handling or comment triage.
Secure connection
We connect Claude to your WordPress.com site using OAuth sign-in, so your team authorises access with its own account. Access is limited to the sites and actions you approve.
Workflow design
We design the end-to-end process across WordPress.com and your other systems, such as Microsoft 365 or your CRM, and set clear approval points where people sign off on anything public.
Testing with real cases
We test the workflow against past posts, real comments and historical statistics to check accuracy and tone before anything goes live.
Launch and team training
We launch with monitoring and audit logs, then train your editors, moderators and marketing staff so they know how to work with Claude confidently.

For teams in the US, UK, India and the Middle East
Organisations in the United States and the United Kingdom can have Claude hosted in their own region to align with local data expectations. In India, workflows are designed to meet the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023. For organisations in the Middle East, including the UAE and Saudi Arabia, we follow the relevant national data protection laws and select a hosting region that meets those requirements. Hosting choices are made during the audit, based on your requirements.

Frequently asked questions
What does the WordPress.com MCP server do?
The Model Context Protocol server gives Claude a secure, structured way to work with your WordPress.com site. It typically allows Claude to read content, manage posts and media, moderate comments and retrieve site statistics. Your team controls which sites and actions are included, and each request runs under the permissions granted during sign-in.
Is connecting Claude to WordPress.com secure?
Security depends on how the connection is set up, and we design it with care. WordPress.com supports OAuth sign-in, so access is authorised through your own account rather than shared passwords. We apply least-privilege access, require human approval for public changes, and keep audit logs of activity.
What can Claude do with WordPress.com once connected?
Typically, Claude can draft and update posts, upload and organise media, suggest alt text, sort comments for moderation and summarise site statistics. It can also help with refreshing older articles. Important actions, such as publishing or approving comments, usually wait for a person to confirm them.
How long does setup take?
Timelines vary with the size of your site and the number of workflows involved. A focused project covering one or two workflows often moves from audit to launch within a few weeks, including testing and team training. We confirm the timeline during the free automation audit.
Which plan or permissions are needed?
In general, the connection requires a WordPress.com account with administrative or editorial access to the site concerned, authorised through OAuth sign-in. The exact plan features that apply depend on your current setup, so we check your account and permissions during the audit.
