Step by step

AI to manage an existing WordPress site - the right way

This is for people who already HAVE a site and want AI to run it - not to build a new one. Your site stays yours; the AI just does the work you'd otherwise click through wp-admin for.

Connect the WordPress site you already haveInstall the free wptaskify plugin and click Connect - it creates and AES-256-encrypts an app password. No new site, no rebuild, no code.
Bring the AI you already pay forAdd your hosted wptaskify MCP URL to Claude, ChatGPT or any MCP client. It's your AI doing the work - no second subscription.
Tell it what to manage, in plain English“Fix the SEO on my top 10 posts.” “Add this product and write its description.” “Publish a weekly update about X.”
Approve, and it shipsRisky changes wait in your approval inbox - nothing goes live until you say go. Read-only and low-risk work flows freely.

Not just a writer - it runs your site

Once connected, your AI can actually do the work across content, SEO and your store.

Manage contentDraft, rewrite, expand, schedule and publish posts and pages on the site you already run.
Fix & maintain SEOAudit and fix meta, internal links, redirects, schema, sitemaps, broken links and thin content.
Run your storeUpdate WooCommerce & Shopify products, descriptions, collections and pricing.
Handle site opsMedia, categories, menus, comment moderation, backups - the busywork, automated.

You stay in control. Risky changes (publish, delete, bulk edits, price changes) wait in your approval inbox - nothing goes live until you approve it. Your credentials are AES-256 encrypted and you can disconnect any time.

Honest comparison

How the three options compare

A technical comparison of a managed WordPress MCP server against self-hosting an open-source MCP or using WordPress.com's built-in AI.

Key takeaway: self-hosted MCP setups run commands straight away and leave you holding the API keys. wptaskify runs the server, encrypts the credentials, and holds every risky action for your approval.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Can AI actually manage my existing WordPress site, not just build a new one?

Yes. wptaskify is built for sites you already run. You connect your existing self-hosted WordPress site, and your AI can then write and publish content, fix SEO, update products, moderate comments, take backups and more - 587 real tools - all on the site you already have. It's the opposite of an AI website builder that starts you from scratch.

Do I need a second AI subscription?

No. wptaskify is bring-your-own-AI. You connect the Claude or ChatGPT you already pay for; wptaskify's flat plans (Free, then MCP Solo $19, Pro $49, Agency $99) only cover the connector and tools, never AI tokens.

Will the AI change or delete things without asking?

No. Risky actions - publish, delete, bulk edits, price changes - wait in an owner approval inbox. You approve or reject each with one click, everything is logged, and you can revoke access at any time.

Does it work on a self-hosted WordPress.org site?

Yes. wptaskify works on any self-hosted WordPress.org site via the free connector plugin - it isn't locked to a host like WordPress.com's built-in AI.

What can the AI actually do once it's managing my site?

Content (write, rewrite, schedule, publish), SEO (fix meta, internal links, redirects, schema, sitemaps, thin content), store (WooCommerce & Shopify products, descriptions, pricing), and site ops (media, menus, categories, comment moderation, backups) - 587 tools in total.

Is it safe to connect AI to a live site?

Yes. Your credentials are stored AES-256 encrypted, access is scoped and revocable, every action is logged, and the approval inbox holds anything risky until you approve it.

Which AI can I use?

Any MCP-compatible client - Claude (Desktop and Code), ChatGPT (paid plan + Developer Mode), Cursor, and others. You bring whichever AI you already use.

Under the hood

What a tool looks like

Your AI never sees this - it reads the list and picks. This is one of the 587, exactly as the server hands it over.

Technical terms

The words on this page

Model Context Protocol (MCP) An open standard that lets an AI model discover and call outside tools. The model asks a server what it can do, gets a list back, and calls the ones it needs. Anthropic published it in 2024 and Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor all speak it.
WordPress REST API The interface every WordPress site since 4.7 exposes for software to read and write its content. It is how wptaskify makes changes - the same doorway the WordPress editor itself uses.
Application password A separate password WordPress issues for software, not for logging in. It can be revoked on its own without touching your account. The plugin creates one and it is encrypted before we store it.
Human-in-the-loop execution Reading and drafting happen straight away; anything that changes what the public sees - publishing, deleting, price changes - stops and waits for a person to approve it.
If you have used Zapier, Make or n8n

Why this is not an automation

Rule-based automation and MCP solve different problems. Here is the difference, without the sales pitch.

A Zapier, Make or n8n workflow

You build the steps. When a post is published, send it here, then format it like this, then post it there. It runs exactly what you drew, every time, and it is excellent at that - moving a known thing between two known places on a schedule.

What it cannot do is decide. If the job is "find every page with a weak title and rewrite it", you have to define what weak means, in advance, as a rule.

wptaskify over MCP

You describe the outcome. The AI reads what is actually on your site, works out which of the 587 tools to call and in what order, and does it - then shows you anything risky before it goes live.

There is no workflow to draw and nothing to maintain when your site changes. The trade is that it is a judgement call each time rather than a fixed rule, which is why publishing waits for your approval.

They are not exclusive. Plenty of people run scheduled automations for the predictable work and use this for the parts that need reading and deciding.

Pricing

What it costs

You connect the Claude or ChatGPT you already pay for, so there is no second AI bill. These prices are for the server and the tools.

Free$0One site. Draft posts, write SEO and product basics, organize categories. No card.
MCP Solo$19/moOne site. Around 50 SEO-ready articles a month.
MCP Pro$49/moUp to 5 sites, full store control. Around 200 articles a month.
MCP Agency$99/moUp to 20 sites, technical control and automatic backups, team access.

Indian pricing is shown in rupees on the pricing page, which has the full feature list.

Data and privacy

What happens to your content

Your site password The plugin creates an application password - a separate credential, not your login - and it is encrypted before it is stored. You can revoke it from your WordPress dashboard at any time without touching your account.
Your content We pass it between your AI and your site. We do not keep a copy of your posts or products to train anything, and we never sell or share your data.
Your AI The model is yours - your own Claude or ChatGPT account, under your agreement with Anthropic or OpenAI. Both state that they do not train on business API data by default; their terms are the authority on that, not us.
Disconnecting Delete the connection from your dashboard or deactivate the plugin. Access stops immediately and nothing is left behind on your site.
