NIBWP – MCP Server for WordPress (Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini & Cursor)

Description

NIBWP turns your WordPress site into a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server so AI assistants like Claude, ChatGPT, Google Gemini and Cursor can read and manage your content through one standard, authenticated endpoint — no copy‑pasting, no scraping, and no third‑party service in the middle.

It is built directly on the WordPress 6.9 Abilities API and the official wordpress/mcp-adapter, so it stays lightweight and future‑proof instead of shipping a proprietary protocol layer.

Authentication uses WordPress core Application Passwords (HTTP Basic) — the same standard the REST API already trusts. Every credential is created, listed, and revoked from your dashboard. There is no separate API key to manage, no account to create, and no subscription.

Why NIBWP

• Free and self‑contained. Everything runs inside your WordPress install. Nothing is sent to an external server.
• Standard, revocable auth. Uses core Application Passwords — generate one per AI client, revoke it any time from the Connect screen.
• Permissioned by design. Every ability runs through WordPress capability checks and per‑object checks (per‑post, per‑term, per‑user), so an AI agent can only do what the connected account is allowed to do.
• Safe options & meta. Option reading/writing is restricted to a non‑sensitive allowlist; passwords, secrets, API keys, auth salts and capability/session meta are filtered out and can never leak.
• Master switch. A single toggle turns all AI abilities on or off for the whole site.
• One‑paste setup. The Connect screen generates a ready‑made prompt you paste into your AI — it connects itself.

What your AI can do

• Read and write posts, pages and custom post types (create, update, delete, search).
• Manage categories, tags and custom taxonomy terms.
• Work with media, comments, navigation menus and users.
• Read and write post, term and user meta — including custom fields (ACF, Meta Box, Pods, JetEngine) since they are stored as standard meta.
• Read site info and statistics and allow‑listed WordPress options.
• Use a per‑site key/value memory store so the assistant can remember context across calls.
• Perform allow‑listed, read‑only filesystem and directory lookups scoped to your WordPress install.

Works with any MCP client

Claude (Anthropic) — Claude Desktop and Claude Code, OpenAI / ChatGPT, Google Gemini, and AI code editors such as Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Cline and Zed. Any client that speaks the Model Context Protocol over an authenticated HTTP endpoint can connect.

How it compares

Heavier MCP plugins bolt on a custom API‑key system and a large proprietary tool set. NIBWP takes the opposite approach: it leans on WordPress core (Abilities API + Application Passwords), exposes a focused, capability‑checked ability set, and ships free with no account and no external calls.
