ecommerceguide summary
WordPress MCP Server (WPMCP) gives MCP clients tool access to a WordPress site: posts, pages, media, users, comments, menus, themes, plugins, file edits and database queries, plus WooCommerce products, orders, customers and inventory. It runs locally over stdio, installed as the npm package wpmcp, and authenticates with a WordPress URL, username and application password set as environment variables. A companion WordPress plugin is required for file operations, shortcodes and cron. Maintained by Rahees Ahmed under the MIT licence.
