Ask Claude about posts, pages, comments and plugins in plain words. The answer comes from your own website.
Works with MCP Hosted and MCP Self-hosted
What Claude can do with WordPress
Your content in one view
Ask which pages are out of date or which drafts are still waiting.
Comments and plugins
See new comments and plugin updates in one answer instead of three screens.
Read-only or with changes, per seat
You decide per seat whether Claude may also make changes.
Set up in three steps
From sign-up to your first question.
Pick MCP Hosted or MCP Self-hosted
With MCP Hosted we run the server for you. With MCP Self-hosted you run it on your own server. Add the WordPress add-on to either one.
Add your login details
The WordPress setup guide shows where to find them. You paste them in My Account and test them with one click.

Compare MCP Hosted and MCP Self-hosted
How do you connect Claude to WordPress?
Ask Claude about your posts, pages, comments and plugins, and get the answer from your own site. You add the WordPress add-on to MCP Hosted or MCP Self-hosted. Then you create an application password in WordPress and paste it in My Account, with your site address and user name.
Claude and other MCP-compatible assistants then reach your site through MCP, the open standard that lets an AI assistant use other software. You install nothing in WordPress.
What can Claude do on your site?
Claude reads posts, pages, comments, media, users, menus, settings, plugins and themes. It answers from the live site, not from an export. You ask in your own words, for example:
That makes it a quick way to check a site: which plugins are installed, which posts sit in a category, where a menu links to.
Can Claude change my site?
Only when you allow it. Every tool starts read-only. In My Account you turn on Can make changes for WordPress on a seat. Claude can then also:
- write and update posts and pages;
- upload media;
- add or update categories, tags, menu items and users;
- moderate comments;
- change settings.
Claude works as the WordPress user you chose, so the role of that user also limits what it can do. Use an editor account for content work, not an administrator. Turn on Can make changes only for the people who publish.
What do you need?
- A WordPress site on HTTPS. Application passwords are built in since WordPress 5.6.
- A user with the right role, and an application password for that user. Never use the normal password.
- A seat on MCP Hosted, or MCP Self-hosted, with the WordPress add-on.
The WordPress setup guide shows where to create the application password.
Can you use more than one site?
Yes. You add each site in My Account, each with its own application password. Every answer shows which site it came from. Does a site run a shop? Orders, products and stock go through the WooCommerce add-on: see connect Claude to WooCommerce.
What does it cost?
On MCP Self-hosted the WordPress add-on costs € 108,90 excl. VAT: € 90,00 per year. On MCP Hosted you add it to your seat for a monthly amount. The pricing page shows both.
Start with a read-only check of one site. Then turn on Can make changes for the people who publish.
Frequently asked questions
No. Skills are separate, free downloads — no license or entitlement required.
Yes, per tool and per seat. You choose read-only or Can make changes for each tool when you add a seat in My Account → MCP Self-hosted. Every tool defaults to read-only except Brain, which can make changes from the start. See entitlements vs tool modes.
Yes. Copy the whole install folder, including ./state, and the activation moves with it, because the instance id lives in that folder. On a fresh install, release the old activation on the Activations tab first, then refresh the license on the new server. Activations without a check for 30 days are released automatically. See MCP license management.
Not once delivery has started. EU consumers normally have 14 days to withdraw. Licenses for MCP Self-hosted, add-ons and extra seats are delivered as soon as the order is paid, and at checkout you agree to that and confirm that the right of withdrawal ends with it. The right of withdrawal form lists any order that still qualifies. Business orders cannot be withdrawn through the form.
Just MCP Self-hosted plus whichever add-ons you actually need. Tools you haven’t licensed simply aren’t loaded or exposed to your AI client.
Add a Seat from My Account → MCP Self-hosted. Each Seat gets its own token and can be scoped to only the tools that teammate needs.
MCP Self-hosted costs € 217,80 excl. VAT: € 180,00 per year. Add-ons start from € 72,60 excl. VAT: € 60,00 per year and differ in price. Each line on a license, MCP Self-hosted, every add-on and every extra seat, is its own yearly recurring payment through Mollie with its own renewal date. Some products can be billed monthly, with a 12-month minimum term. The pricing calculator adds up a setup for you.
VAT is calculated at checkout from your billing details. A business in the EU with a valid VAT number gets reverse charge, so enter that number at checkout. For a question about the VAT on an existing order, use the contact form and include the order number.
MCP Self-hosted includes 3 seats and 1 activation. One server can serve three people or devices, each with their own token. A fourth identity needs an extra seat at € 18,15 excl. VAT: € 15,00 per year. A second container on the same license is refused until you release the first activation. MCP seats explains tokens, labels and limits.
MCP Self-hosted sends a small diagnostics payload with every license check, so we can see which version runs and whether checks succeed. It contains no data from your tools, inbox, store or database. MCP diagnostics lists exactly what is sent and what you see in My Account.
Nothing breaks immediately. Your server keeps running on its last successful entitlements for a 96-hour grace period before anything is restricted.
A failed charge puts the line on Payment issue and everything keeps working. If it is still unpaid after 7 days, the line is suspended. For the MCP Self-hosted line that blocks every tool call. A cancelled line runs until the end of the period you paid for and then stops. A suspended license gets no 96-hour grace period; that only covers a server that cannot reach AddoCore. Details are in MCP license renewal.
An activation is one running MCP Self-hosted server. A seat is one person or device that connects to it, with its own token, its own tools and its own setting per tool: read-only or Can make changes. One license can have several seats against a single activation. See MCP seats.
Entirely on your own infrastructure — a Docker container you host yourself. Nothing about a tool call routes through a third-party cloud.
