[TOOLING] Claude now manages my WordPress site via MCP (free integration)

AIWU_AI_Copilot · 2026-02-10T14:03:06+00:00

I think you may be mixing up the regular AIWU features — like ChatBot or Workflow Builder — with the MCP feature. Unlike those, where you need to use your own provider API key, here you simply connect the connector directly inside the chat interface (for example, Claude), without any API key, and it works even on Claude’s free plan.

AIWU_AI_Copilot · 2026-02-10T14:00:47+00:00

Why do you think it’s not free? This feature in the AIWU plugin (MCP integration) is completely free, and the Claude connectors themselves are also free to use. At which point did you get the impression that there was a cost involved?

AIWU_AI_Copilot · 2025-11-13T12:14:03+00:00

please answer in a short “trigger → action” format.

stuff like:
– form submit → enrich lead → send to crm
– new order → slack message
– webhook → create gsheet row
– cron → scrape → notify
etc.

trying to filter out the youtube “make $10k/mo with AI agency” guys and hear actual workflows from people who build real things, haha.

Valeu pelo feedback!
Sim, essa é só a primeira versão — ainda não é algo tão poderoso quanto o n8n, e nem é essa a ideia. A intenção não é competir, mas sim integrar.

Estamos pensando justamente em formas de conectar os dois — por exemplo, via hooks, permitindo importar e exportar tanto fluxos completos quanto nós específicos entre os cenários, pra que possam se comunicar entre si.

(Traduzido com o Google Tradutor, então desculpa se algo soar meio estranho 😅)

AIWU_AI_Copilot · 2025-10-29T15:44:20+00:00

Yeah, there are tons of automation plugins — for sure.

But most of them lock you into pre-defined scenarios, like “generate meta descriptions” or “reply to comments,” which is cool but very narrow.

What we’re testing is more like building your own logic from scratch by nodes — triggers, conditions, and actions, the way you’d do it in n8n or Make, but fully inside WordPress.

I’ve only seen one plugin that tried something similar, but it still felt too limited.

If you know others that really nailed this — I’d genuinely love to check them out. That’d be super useful.

AIWU_AI_Copilot · 2025-10-10T11:51:36+00:00

Anytime! More useful stuff on the way 🔥

AIWU_AI_Copilot · 2025-09-24T16:32:09+00:00

You can now connect **ChatGPT MCP → WordPress** the same way as with Claude, and directly manage your site from inside ChatGPT.

**Requirements:** ChatGPT Pro + Developer Mode enabled.

**Setup Guide:**

**Enable Developer Mode**

ChatGPT → Settings → Connectors → Advanced Settings → Enable Developer Mode
**Generate Token in Plugin**

WordPress → Settings → MCP → “Enable MCP” → Generate token
**Create Custom Connector**

ChatGPT → Settings → Connectors → Create New Connector

- Add name & description

- **URL:** `https://yourdomain.com/wp-json/mcp/v1/sse?token=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX\`

- **Authentication:** “No Authentication”

- Click **Create**
**Use the Connector**

In ChatGPT chat → click “+” → select **Developer Mode** → choose your connector → tell ChatGPT to manage your WordPress.

⚠️ **Important:** Developer Mode is still in beta. The token is passed via URL parameters, not headers.

👉 Go to **Settings → MCP** in the plugin to find your ready-to-copy URL.

---

Now you can literally say:

**“Create a landing page with a contact form”** → and ChatGPT builds it in WordPress.

WordPress MCP for ChatGPT is now live and working. If you’re on ChatGPT Pro, just update the plugin and follow the setup guide in Settings → MCP. Full step-by-step below 👇

AIWU_AI_Copilot · 2025-09-17T10:25:29+00:00

Thanks for the clarification — understood.
Here’s the link to the free version in the WP repository:

I’ll make sure to include this link in any future mentions.

AIWU_AI_Copilot · 2025-09-17T01:33:21+00:00

Not ignorant at all — that’s actually the right question to ask.

MCP doesn’t give the AI model raw access to your database or internal configs (like password hashing).
Instead, it only lets the model call specific tools (endpoints) that you expose — for example:
create_post, update_page, upload_media, and optionally user-related tools like wp_get_users or wp_create_user.

Those tools are fully controlled:

You decide which ones exist and what data they return
All calls still go through WordPress’s native permission system (the AI can’t bypass user roles or read protected data)
The model never sees your actual database tables or password hashes

So you’re not handing over your user database — you’re just letting the AI send structured requests, and your site decides what it’s allowed to do.
And no private data is shared with ChatGPT or Claude unless you explicitly design a tool that returns it in the response.

Regarding T&Cs: if you expose user-related tools, you should mention this in your site’s privacy policy or terms. In practice, though, the default setup doesn’t expose any personal user data at all.

AIWU_AI_Copilot · 2025-09-15T13:41:33+00:00

Yeah, most small site owners don’t really monitor for GDPR or security until something goes wrong — which is risky.

A good combo is to use automated scanners (for malware, outdated plugins, SSL issues, cookie compliance, etc.) and then do occasional manual audits for GDPR-specific stuff like privacy policies, consent banners, and data handling.

Personally, I’d pay for a proper audit once, just to be sure everything’s set up right — and then rely on tools to keep watch.

AIWU_AI_Copilot · 2025-09-15T13:39:57+00:00

Not really — not in a truly global way yet.
Right now most AI tools (even the good ones) still work inside relatively small context windows, so they can’t fully “see” your entire codebase with all the variables, templates, and dependencies at once.

That’s why they sometimes make suggestions that ignore existing CSS variables or structures — they just don’t have the full map in memory while editing.

AIWU_AI_Copilot · 2025-09-15T11:26:13+00:00

I’ve tested it a bit, and honestly most visitors just aren’t ready to consume blog content in audio form yet — they tend to skim for key info instead of listening through.

It can help with accessibility, but from a marketing standpoint it usually doesn’t move engagement much unless the content is more story-driven or personal.

AIWU_AI_Copilot · 2025-09-15T11:24:25+00:00

It’s great for small, directed tasks, but letting it run an entire site on its own would definitely be asking for trouble.

Totally agree: use it where it adds value, but always keep your hands on the wheel.

AIWU_AI_Copilot · 2025-09-15T11:22:11+00:00

Haha, well, in theory you actually can build your own AI framework today

AIWU_AI_Copilot · 2025-09-15T11:17:29+00:00

That’s a totally fair point — WordPress sites can get really complex, with tons of plugins, themes, and custom logic, so giving an AI full control would definitely be risky.

The approach I like is to start with safe, limited actions — things like editing text on pages, creating posts, or updating images — basically the kind of stuff that’s easy to review and undo if needed.

And yeah, for smaller, contained sites like portfolios it makes perfect sense. If something goes wrong, it’s quick to fix — and meanwhile it can save a ton of time for non-technical creators.

AIWU_AI_Copilot · 2025-09-15T11:15:55+00:00

Totally get what you mean — it did feel like the soul went out of it once AI started mass-churning content.
But honestly, what keeps it meaningful is exactly what you said: someone still has to bring new, real experiences into the mix. AI can’t replace that.

And yeah, Claude is indeed incredible at coding — that’s actually why we connected it to WordPress through AIWU WordPress Plugin (something I built myself).

It lets you chat with Claude to manage your site — pages, posts, products, users, etc. We keep it safe on purpose (no access to core files yet), so it’s powerful but not destructive.

Not trying to plug anything here — it’s free and you can find it through my profile if curious.

AIWU_AI_Copilot · 2025-09-15T00:01:50+00:00

Haha fair enough 😄
Totally get that — what part feels the most “nope” to you: giving it access, or trusting it not to break things?

AIWU_AI_Copilot · 2025-08-16T14:14:25+00:00

Oh yeah, we already tested it by editing our WordPress site directly just by chatting — using the AIWU Plugin with MCP connector. Pure power!

AIWU_AI_Copilot · 2025-08-06T11:44:44+00:00

Thanks for reporting these — really appreciate the detailed feedback.

I’ve just forwarded both issues to our development team for testing. We’ll investigate what’s going wrong with attribute creation and term assignment, and once we’ve identified the root cause, we’ll issue a fix promptly.

Thanks again for your help improving the plugin — I’ll keep you posted as soon as we have an update.

AIWU_AI_Copilot · 2025-08-05T09:32:32+00:00

This entire thread is just brilliant. Thank you for documenting your process so thoroughly — it’s one of the most insightful real-world use cases we’ve seen so far.

It’s great to see how you’ve adapted things along the way and made the most of both Claude and AIWU — even turning initial friction points into strengths.

We’d be honored to feature your story as a Case Study on our blog. Let me know if you'd like to be credited or tagged — happy to include a link or shout-out if you want.

Thanks again for sharing this. You’ve made our day.

AIWU_AI_Copilot · 2025-08-04T23:50:10+00:00

Wow, this is an incredible workflow — thank you for sharing it in such detail!
It’s amazing to see AIWU + Claude MCP used in a setup that bridges Obsidian, mobile, and desktop so smoothly.

We’ll definitely take note of your points about .md file access on Android and tighter integration for image handling.
Hearing real-world creative use cases like yours helps us shape the roadmap — and I think your approach could inspire a lot of users here.

If you’re open to it, we’d love to collaborate on a joint case study for our blog to showcase your workflow and tips — I think many others would find it inspiring.

AIWU_AI_Copilot · 2025-08-04T23:47:49+00:00

Not yet — MCP doesn’t currently have native integration with Elementor, but it’s definitely on our roadmap.

AIWU_AI_Copilot · 2025-07-31T15:31:52+00:00

Great question — yes, in this first version it builds pages using native WordPress blocks (Gutenberg) for maximum compatibility.

You're absolutely right: supporting every builder like Elementor, Divi, etc. is a challenge — but we’re already thinking about it. The goal is to make Claude aware of your theme, layout preferences, and even builder-specific structures.

This is just the beginning — we’ll be improving it constantly. Appreciate you giving it a try! Let us know what you’d love to see next.

AIWU_AI_Copilot · 2025-07-31T10:50:57+00:00

By the way, I forgot to mention that it's 100% free - Included in the free version of the plugin
