# Solid plugin with real publishing workflow potential

 * Running this on a WordPress.com-hosted news site as the MCP backend for Claude.
   Setup was straightforward and the core toolset covers the essentials well: post
   creation and editing, media lookup, meta field updates, category assignment. 
   Yoast SEO fields and custom schema fields both read and write correctly once 
   registered via register_rest_field – that was the critical test for our workflow.
 * Two feature requests worth considering for future versions:
 * **Image upload via URL sideload.** The current base64 upload method is impractical
   for full-size images – encoding a modest WebP runs to thousands of characters
   and frequently times out. A URL-based sideload endpoint (pass a public image 
   URL, WordPress fetches it directly) would solve this cleanly. WordPress has the
   native capability; it just needs exposing via the plugin.
 * **WPCode snippet access.** Attempted to expose WPCode snippets via the REST API
   using register_post_type_args and direct $wp_post_types manipulation – WPCode
   Lite blocks both approaches. A dedicated tool for reading and writing WPCode 
   snippets would be genuinely useful for AI-assisted site management. We worked
   around it with a custom pbn/v1 REST route but native support would be cleaner.
 * **wp_delete_post is listed in tool descriptions but doesn’t appear to exist**–
   wp_update_post references it for trash operations but there’s no corresponding
   tool. Worth adding or correcting the reference.
 * Overall a reliable foundation. The direct URL connection model is better than
   intermediary connector plugins.
