You already pay for Claude or ChatGPT. Connect it, and when your site breaks it reads the error log, fixes the exact file and saves a backup first, so you can undo it. It writes posts and fixes SEO too, with 170+ WordPress tools. Risky changes wait for your OK.

What is WordPress MCP

wptaskify is a managed Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for WordPress. It connects Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor to the WordPress REST API over JSON-RPC, so your AI can write and publish content, run WooCommerce and fix on-page SEO on your live site, with every post saved as a draft first.

When your site breaks

Your site broke? Your AI finds the line and fixes it

Reading the error log and fixing files while wp-admin is down needs server (SFTP) access, which you add once in your dashboard. Theme and plugin files can also be edited through the wptaskify plugin.

Error log“There has been a critical error”Your AI reads the PHP error log, names the plugin or theme file and the exact line that failed, then fixes that code or turns the plugin off.“My site says there has been a critical error. Fix it.”
PHP 8It broke after a PHP updateOld theme or plugin code that newer PHP rejects, such as count() on a value that is not an array, is rewritten for PHP 8. The file is checked for PHP errors before it is saved.“My theme broke when my host moved me to PHP 8.3.”
SFTPWhite screen, wp-admin will not loadOver SFTP your AI still reaches the files when WordPress itself is down. It can turn off the plugin that crashed or switch to a default theme.“I get a white screen and cannot log in.”
Backup + undoA fix that went wrongEvery file your AI changes is copied first. One request puts the previous version back.“Undo the last change you made.”
170+ WordPress tools

How it works

What happens when you ask it something

Step 1You ask in plain words

Tell Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor what you want done.

Step 3wptaskify works on WordPress

Through the WordPress REST API, with the separate application password the plugin created.

Step 4You check the result

What it can and cannot do to your site

The honest version, because this is the part worth being careful about.

Drafts first

Posts are saved as drafts unless you ask for them to be published.

Approval inbox

Your AI is told to ask first before switching a theme or turning off a plugin.

Undo built in

Roll a post back to any revision, undo a theme switch in one step and restore server files from automatic backups.

A separate password

The plugin creates an application password, not your login. It is encrypted with AES-256-GCM and you can revoke it in WordPress.

Activity log

Every action is written down with a time, so you can see what was done and when.

Disconnect any time

Remove the connection from your dashboard or deactivate the plugin and access stops at once. We do not train AI on your content.

Simple pricing

Bring your own Claude or ChatGPT. Pay one flat fee for the tools and MCP server.

FAQ

WordPress MCP questions, answered

The short answers. Anything else, ask us directly.

01What is a WordPress MCP server?

It is the piece that lets an AI such as Claude or ChatGPT use your WordPress site through the Model Context Protocol. Your AI asks the server what it can do, gets a list of tools, and calls them to write posts, fix SEO or update products. wptaskify runs that server for you, so there is nothing to host.

02How do I connect Claude or ChatGPT to WordPress?

Create a free wptaskify account, install the wptaskify plugin from your WordPress dashboard, then add https://wptaskify.com/mcp as a custom connector in Claude or ChatGPT. It takes about two minutes, with no files to edit.

03Will the AI publish or break things without asking?

Posts are created as drafts unless you ask for them to be published. Your AI is told to send risky actions, such as switching a theme, turning off a plugin, to your approval inbox first. Post edits can be rolled back from revisions and a new theme can be undone in one step.

04Does it work with WooCommerce?

Yes. Products, variations, stock, sale prices, coupons, orders, customers and reviews, 42 tools in all. Store tools use the second connector URL, https://wptaskify.com/mcp/store, on every paid plan from MCP Solo up.

05Does it work with Yoast or Rank Math?

Yes. It writes SEO titles, meta descriptions and focus keywords to whichever of Yoast or Rank Math is active, and works without either.

06What do I need to use it?

A self-hosted WordPress site on WordPress 5.6 or newer and PHP 7.4 or newer, with the REST API reachable, and an AI app that supports MCP connectors. Free WordPress.com sites cannot install plugins, so they are not supported.

07Can it fix my site when it shows a white screen?

Yes, if you also connect SFTP from your host. Your AI can then read the PHP error log, turn off the plugin that caused it and switch to a default theme, even when wp-admin will not load.

08My site broke after a PHP update. Can it fix my theme?

Usually, yes. Code written for PHP 7, such as count() on a value that is not an array or a function PHP 8 removed, can be rewritten for the newer version. If a plugin is simply too old to save, your AI tells you and turns it off instead of guessing.

09What if a fix makes things worse?

Every file your AI edits is copied first, and one request puts the previous version back. PHP that would not run is refused before it is written, so a bad edit cannot take the site down.

10Do I pay for Claude or ChatGPT separately?

Yes, you use your own AI account, billed by Anthropic or OpenAI. wptaskify charges a flat monthly fee for the tools and the server, starting with a free plan.
