										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="wp-block-paragraph">AI assistants like Claude Code, Cowork, and ChatGPT are incredible productivity boosters, and if you wished that you could connect these AI tools with WordPress directly, then you&#8217;re not alone. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Lately, I have been using WordPress MCP by WPVibe to let my AI assistant manage my website, and it&#8217;s truly amazing how much time this saves. You can simply ask it to create a post, upload image, handle admin tasks, and more from a single conversational prompt.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In this step by step tutorial, I&#8217;ll show you how to connect your favorite AI tools with WordPress using MCP along with sharing a few work examples, so you can see what becomes possible when you combine WordPress + AI.</p>

<h4 id="aioseo-what-is-the-wordpress-model-context-protocol-18" class="wp-block-heading">What is a WordPress MCP and What Can It Do?</h4>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">MCP stands for Model Context Protocol. It is as an open standard that lets AI assistants connect to outside tools and services.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Think of it as a universal adapter. Instead of every AI tool building a custom integration with every service, they all speak the same language, so any tool and service that support MCP can work together.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">With a WordPress MCP, your AI assistant can see what your website supports and carry out tasks from a plain-text prompt. It does this using a connection WordPress already has built in (the REST API), so there&#8217;s nothing extra to install.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">You can use WordPress MCP to manage your WordPress site and perform tasks including:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Draft and publish posts</strong> &#8211; Create blog posts as drafts, set titles, add categories and tags, and publish when you&#8217;re ready.</li>



<li><strong>Upload media</strong> &#8211; Pull images from any public URL directly into your WordPress media library.</li>



<li><strong>Manage categories and tags</strong> &#8211; Create or rename taxonomy terms and assign them to posts.</li>



<li><strong>Run admin tasks</strong> &#8211; Flush your site cache, check which plugins are active, and activate or deactivate plugins.</li>



<li><strong>Use plugin abilities</strong> &#8211; On WordPress 6.9+, many plugins register their own actions the AI can discover and run automatically</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Each of these can be done from a plain-text prompt from your favorite AI tool like Claude Code, Cursor, ChatGPT, etc. I&#8217;ll show you the exact prompts once you&#8217;re fully set up.</p>



<h4 id="aioseo-what-you-need-before-getting-started-35" class="wp-block-heading">What You Need Before Getting Started</h4>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Self-hosted WordPress 6.9 or later</strong> &#8211; With the REST API enabled (it&#8217;s on by default). You need version 6.9 or later for plugin abilities API which is allows you to use AI to manage plugins like AIOSEO, WPForms, etc.</li>



<li><strong>A publicly accessible site</strong> &#8211; Your site must be reachable on the internet because local development sites won&#8217;t work unless exposed via a tunnel.</li>



<li><strong>A free WPVibe account</strong> — You&#8217;ll create this during setup.</li>



<li><strong>An HTTPS-enabled site</strong> — WordPress application passwords require SSL and they won&#8217;t function on <code>http://</code> sites. See our guide on <a href="https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-add-ssl-and-https-in-wordpress/" title="How to Add SSL and HTTPS in WordPress">how to add SSL and HTTPS to WordPress</a>.</li>
</ul>



<h4 id="aioseo-step-1-set-up-mcp-on-your-wordpress-website-48" class="wp-block-heading">Step 1. Set Up MCP on Your WordPress Website</h4>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The easiest way to add MCP to a self-hosted WordPress site is with <a href="https://wpvibe.ai/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" title="WPVibe - Your AI Just Learned WordPress">WPVibe.ai</a>. It&#8217;s free and runs on a hosted server, so there&#8217;s no infrastructure to configure. It also works with every major AI tool through a single setup.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">You can read our full <a href="https://www.wpbeginner.com/solutions/wpvibe/" title="WPVibe Review">WPVibe review</a> for a deeper look at everything it can do, but this guide covers what you need to get connected.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Other ways to set this up:</strong> There&#8217;s also an official WordPress MCP Adapter, which pairs with the new Abilities API in WordPress 6.9, but it&#8217;s built for developers and needs manual configuration.</p>



<h5 id="aioseo-install-and-activate-the-vibe-ai-plugin-56" class="wp-block-heading">Install and Activate the Vibe AI Plugin</h5>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">First, you will need to install and activate the <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/vibe-ai/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" title="WPVibe free plugin">free WPVibe plugin</a>. If you need any help, our guide on <a href="https://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/step-by-step-guide-to-install-a-wordpress-plugin-for-beginners/" title="How to Install a WordPress Plugin">how to install a WordPress plugin</a> covers each step.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Along with connecting your AI tools, the WPVibe plugin unlocks WP-CLI commands, theme file editing, and the plugin abilities that I talk about later in this guide.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Once activated, go to <strong>Vibe AI » Vibe AI</strong> in your WordPress dashboard. You&#8217;ll see the MCP server URL and a three-step setup guide. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Keep this tab open. You&#8217;ll need the URL in the next step.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" width="680" height="383" src="https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/wpvibe-setup-2.jpg" alt="The Vibe AI plugin admin page in wp-admin showing the three-step connection setup" class="wp-image-407711" srcset="https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/wpvibe-setup-2.jpg 680w, https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/wpvibe-setup-2-300x169.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px" /></figure>



<h4 id="aioseo-step-2-connect-your-ai-tools-to-wordpress-70" class="wp-block-heading">Step 2. Connect Your AI Tools to WordPress</h4>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">With WPVibe set up, connecting your AI tool takes under a minute. You add the same server URL to any AI client you use: <code>https://mcp.wpvibe.ai/mcp</code>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">You&#8217;ll find instructions on how to do this in <a href="https://wpvibe.ai/docs/ai-client-setup/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" title="WPVibe Documentation: AI Client Setup">the official WPVibe documentation</a>. But let me show you exactly where to find that setting in some popular AI platforms.</p>



<h5 id="aioseo-claude-master-setup" class="wp-block-heading">Connecting Claude</h5>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you&#8217;re just getting started, I recommend beginning with Claude. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The simplest method is to add the WPVibe URL once via Claude.ai on the web, and it syncs automatically to Claude Desktop, Claude Code, and the Claude mobile apps with no separate setup needed.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Note:</strong> On Team and Enterprise workspaces, only an Owner or Admin can add connectors. Individual members on those plans can authenticate with WPVibe once the admin has added it, or use the Claude Code method in step 3 below.</p>



<ol class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Free, Pro, and Max plans:</strong> In Claude.ai, go to <strong>Customize » Connectors</strong>. Click the + button, select &#8216;Add custom connector&#8217;, and paste <code>https://mcp.wpvibe.ai/mcp</code>.</li>



<li><strong>Team and Enterprise (admin only):</strong> Go to <strong>Organization settings » Connectors</strong>. Click &#8216;Add&#8217;, select <strong>Custom » Web</strong>, and paste the WPVibe URL.</li>



<li><strong>Claude Code (any plan):</strong> In your terminal, run <code>claude mcp add --scope user wpvibe --transport http https://mcp.wpvibe.ai/mcp</code>. Then, open Claude Code, type <code>/mcp</code>, select wpvibe, and choose &#8216;Authenticate&#8217;.</li>
</ol>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Once saved, follow the on-screen prompt to authorize your WordPress site.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" width="680" height="383" src="https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/wpvibe-connect-claudeai-web.png" alt="Connecting Claude.ai (Web) to WPVibe" class="wp-image-408004" srcset="https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/wpvibe-connect-claudeai-web.png 680w, https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/wpvibe-connect-claudeai-web-300x169.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px" /></figure>



<h5 id="aioseo-connecting-chatgpt-85" class="wp-block-heading">Connecting ChatGPT</h5>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">WPVibe is available directly in the ChatGPT App Marketplace, so both free and paid users can connect without copying server URLs or editing config files.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In ChatGPT, click &#8216;Apps&#8217; in the sidebar and search for WPVibe. Then click &#8216;Connect&#8217; on the app page and sign in with your WPVibe account when prompted.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">After connecting, ChatGPT pre-fills &#8216;@WPVibe&#8217; at the start of each message. You can delete it with backspace for prompts unrelated to WordPress. Leave it in place when following the authorization step below.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" width="680" height="313" src="https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/wpvibe-connect-chatgpt.jpg" alt="Connecting ChatGPT to WPVibe" class="wp-image-408725" srcset="https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/wpvibe-connect-chatgpt.jpg 680w, https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/wpvibe-connect-chatgpt-300x138.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px" /></figure>



<h5 id="aioseo-connecting-cursor-90" class="wp-block-heading">Connecting Cursor</h5>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Cursor adds MCP servers through a JSON config file. In Cursor, go to <strong>Settings » MCP</strong> and click the &#8216;Add new global MCP server&#8217; button. This opens the <code>mcp.json</code> file.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Add the following entry and save:</p>

<h5 id="aioseo-authorize-your-wordpress-site-64" class="wp-block-heading">Authorize Your WordPress Site</h5>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">With the MCP URL added to your AI client, go back to <strong>Vibe AI » Vibe AI</strong> in your WordPress dashboard. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Under step 3, you&#8217;ll find a ready-to-copy prompt with your site&#8217;s URL already filled in.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" width="680" height="383" src="https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/wpvibe-setup-3.jpg" alt="The WPVibe Setup Page" class="wp-image-409062" srcset="https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/wpvibe-setup-3.jpg 680w, https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/wpvibe-setup-3-300x169.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Paste that prompt into your AI chat. Your AI assistant will call WPVibe and return a one-click authorization link. Simply click it to approve the connection.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">You never see or copy a password. WordPress and WPVibe handle the credentials securely in the background.</p>

<h4 id="aioseo-3-things-you-can-do-right-away-worked-examples-95" class="wp-block-heading">What You Can Do Once You&#8217;re Connected (Worked Examples)</h4>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Once your AI tool is connected to WordPress, here are the first prompts I tried, including one for <a href="https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/woocommerce-tutorial-ultimate-guide/" title="WooCommerce store owners">WooCommerce store owners</a>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">My examples are from Claude Code terminal, but these will work with whichever AI tool you connected. </p>



<h5 id="aioseo-example-1-write-and-draft-a-blog-post-97" class="wp-block-heading">1. Write and Draft a Blog Post</h5>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Type this into your AI tool: <em>&#8216;Create a draft WordPress post titled &#8220;How to Start a Blog&#8221; with an intro paragraph explaining why blogging is still worth it.&#8217;</em></p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" width="680" height="345" src="https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/wpvibe-example-draft-post.png" alt="AI Prompt for Drafting a New Post" class="wp-image-409030" srcset="https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/wpvibe-example-draft-post.png 680w, https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/wpvibe-example-draft-post-300x152.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Your AI assistant calls the WordPress REST API, saves the post as a draft, and returns a confirmation with a link to edit it in wp-admin.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Nothing goes live until you choose to publish it yourself.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" width="680" height="369" src="https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/wpvibe-preview-new-draft-post.png" alt="A Draft Post Created Using AI" class="wp-image-409031" srcset="https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/wpvibe-preview-new-draft-post.png 680w, https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/wpvibe-preview-new-draft-post-300x163.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px" /></figure>



<h5 id="aioseo-example-2-upload-a-photo-to-your-media-library-101" class="wp-block-heading">2. Upload a Photo to Your Media Library</h5>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Type: <em>&#8216;Upload this image to my WordPress media library: [paste a public image URL]. Set the alt text to &#8220;A person working at a laptop&#8221;.&#8217;</em></p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" width="680" height="169" src="https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/wpvibe-example-upload-image.png" alt="AI Prompt for Adding a Public Image to Your WordPress Media Library" class="wp-image-409033" srcset="https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/wpvibe-example-upload-image.png 680w, https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/wpvibe-example-upload-image-300x75.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">WPVibe validates the source URL, downloads the image, and adds it to your media library with the alt text you specified.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">You can reference it in any post from there.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" width="680" height="346" src="https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/wpvibe-preview-uploaded-image.png" alt="WordPress media library showing a newly uploaded image via MCP" class="wp-image-409034" srcset="https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/wpvibe-preview-uploaded-image.png 680w, https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/wpvibe-preview-uploaded-image-300x153.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Note:</strong> The prompt above uses a public URL, which is the simplest approach. Uploading a local file from your computer works too, but WPVibe will generate a browser upload link as an intermediate step.</p>



<h5 id="aioseo-example-3-manage-your-woocommerce-store-105" class="wp-block-heading">3. Manage Your WooCommerce Store</h5>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">WooCommerce 10.9 ships with native MCP support, which exposes product and order abilities through the same standard that WPVibe uses.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If your site runs WooCommerce, try: <em>&#8216;Draft a new product called &#8220;Summer T-Shirt&#8221; with a short description and a price of $29.95.&#8217;</em></p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" width="680" height="269" src="https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/wpvibe-example-new-product.png" alt="AI Prompt for Creating a New WooCommerce Product" class="wp-image-409036" srcset="https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/wpvibe-example-new-product.png 680w, https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/wpvibe-example-new-product-300x119.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The product saves as a draft in your store. Beyond creating products, your AI can also query orders, update their status, and add order notes, so you can handle routine store admin from the same chat window.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">You can see the example below. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" width="680" height="324" src="https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/wpvibe-preview-new-product.png" alt="A New Product Created by AI and WPVibe" class="wp-image-409037" srcset="https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/wpvibe-preview-new-product.png 680w, https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/wpvibe-preview-new-product-300x143.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The next three examples go beyond WordPress&#8217;s built-in actions. On <a href="https://www.wpbeginner.com/news/whats-new-in-wordpress-6-9/" title="What's New in WordPress 6.9? (Features &amp; Screenshots)">WordPress 6.9</a> or later, plugins can register their own actions (called &#8216;abilities&#8217;) that your AI discovers automatically, so if you use these tools, you can drive them from the same chat.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you use <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/all-in-one-seo-pack" target="_blank" title="Free version of All in One SEO Plugin">AIOSEO</a>, then you can ask your AI to handle common SEO tasks from the chat window. It can check TruSEO scores, generate meta titles and descriptions, and run SEO audits.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">My starting point was to ask it to find every post missing a meta description and write one for each.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Try this prompt: <em>&#8216;Find all posts missing meta descriptions and write and apply them in one go.&#8217;</em></p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" width="680" height="347" src="https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/wpvibe-example-add-metadescriptions-using-aioseo.png" alt="Claude Code chat showing prompt to find and apply missing AIOSEO meta descriptions" class="wp-image-409038" srcset="https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/wpvibe-example-add-metadescriptions-using-aioseo.png 680w, https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/wpvibe-example-add-metadescriptions-using-aioseo-300x153.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Your AI checks every post, writes the missing meta descriptions, and applies them through AIOSEO in one step.</p>

<h5 id="aioseo-seedprod-122" class="wp-block-heading">5. Manage Landing Pages and Maintenance Mode</h5>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you use <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/coming-soon" target="_blank" title="Free version of SeedProd WordPress Page Builder plugin">SeedProd</a>, then your AI can manage your coming soon page, maintenance mode, and landing page settings without going into wp-admin.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For example: <em>&#8216;Check if maintenance mode is currently active&#8217;</em> or <em>&#8216;Enable the coming soon page.&#8217;</em></p>



<h5 id="aioseo-wpforms-125" class="wp-block-heading">6. Build a Form with AI</h5>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you use <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/wpforms-lite" target="_blank" title="Free version of WPForms Contact Form builder plugin">WPForms</a>, then your AI can build forms from a plain-English description.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Try: <em>&#8216;Create a contact form with name, email, and a message field.&#8217;</em> WPForms creates the form in your dashboard, ready to configure and embed.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Before using this, make sure you enable write access under <strong>WPForms » Tools</strong>.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" width="680" height="305" src="https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/wpforms-enable-write-access.png" alt="Enabling MCP Write Access for WPForms" class="wp-image-409064" srcset="https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/wpforms-enable-write-access.png 680w, https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/wpforms-enable-write-access-300x135.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">WPForms Lite supports basic field types. Paid plans add phone, date/time, file upload, and more.</p>



<h5 id="see-what-your-site-can-do" class="wp-block-heading">See What Your Site Can Do</h5>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">You don&#8217;t have to guess which of your plugins support this. Because WPVibe automatically discovers every registered ability, you can just ask your connected AI: <em>&#8216;What can you do on my WordPress site?&#8217;</em></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It will list the abilities your installed plugins expose, so the answer stays accurate no matter which plugins you run.</p>



<h4 id="aioseo-is-wordpress-mcp-safe-132" class="wp-block-heading">Is WordPress MCP Safe?</h4>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I had the same concern when I first tested this. Here&#8217;s how WPVibe handles security.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">WordPress manages the connection using application passwords, a built-in feature that creates a separate password for each external tool you connect. The AI only gets the permissions of <a href="https://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/wordpress-user-roles-and-permissions/" title="Beginner's Guide to WordPress User Roles and Permissions">the user account you connected</a>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So, it&#8217;s worth connecting with a limited, non-admin account rather than your main administrator login. If you create a dedicated Editor-role user for the connection, then the AI can only do what an Editor can do.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">WPVibe encrypts your application password before storing it, using a separate key for each site, and keeps it on secure servers hosted by Cloudflare. Every connection between your AI client, WPVibe, and your WordPress site is encrypted too, so your credentials are never exposed along the way.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">WPVibe also doesn&#8217;t store your conversation content. It stays within your AI client.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">On the WordPress side, new posts always save as drafts and deletions go to the trash rather than permanent deletion.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">To fully revoke access at any time, go to <strong>Users » Profile</strong> in your WordPress dashboard and scroll down to the Application Passwords section to delete it.</p>



<h4 id="aioseo-troubleshooting-connection-issues-141" class="wp-block-heading">Troubleshooting Connection Issues</h4>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Connecting your AI client to WordPress is the step that trips people up most often. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If the connection fails or WPVibe doesn&#8217;t appear, then work through these checks:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>WPVibe isn&#8217;t in your client&#8217;s tool or MCP list</strong> &#8211; Restart the AI client after saving the config. New MCP servers only load on a fresh start.</li>



<li><strong>The connection fails silently in Windsurf</strong> &#8211; Windsurf uses the <code>serverUrl</code> key, not <code>url</code>. The wrong key produces no error message, so double-check it.</li>



<li><strong>Application passwords won&#8217;t authenticate</strong> &#8211; Your site must <a href="https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-add-ssl-and-https-in-wordpress/" title="How to Properly Move WordPress from HTTP to HTTPS (Beginner’s Guide)">run on HTTPS</a>. Application passwords don&#8217;t work over <code>http://</code>.</li>



<li><strong>Your AI client can&#8217;t reach the site</strong> &#8211; The site has to be publicly reachable. A local development site won&#8217;t connect unless you expose it through a tunnel.</li>



<li><strong>Authorization keeps failing</strong> &#8211; Re-check that you pasted the correct MCP server URL: <code>https://mcp.wpvibe.ai/mcp</code>.</li>
</ul>



<h4 id="aioseo-frequently-asked-questions-139" class="wp-block-heading">Frequently Asked Questions About WordPress MCP</h4>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Is WPVibe free?</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Yes. <a href="https://wpvibe.ai" target="_blank" title="WPVibe - Easily Connect AI Assistants With WordPress">WPVibe</a> has no API key costs and everything in this guide works on the free plan. There is now a paid Pro plan (early-access pricing, $99 per year) that adds higher daily usage limits and priority support, not new features, so you don&#8217;t need it for anything covered here.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Does WordPress MCP work with all AI tools?</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">WPVibe works with Claude.ai (web), Claude Desktop, Claude Code, ChatGPT, Cursor, and Windsurf. Because MCP is an open protocol, any new AI tool that adopts the standard will work with the same WPVibe setup automatically.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Does WordPress MCP work with WordPress.com?</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">No, not through WPVibe. WordPress.com has its own built-in MCP setup that works differently. This guide covers self-hosted WordPress (WordPress.org) only.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Do I need WordPress 6.9 to use MCP?</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">No. You can create posts, upload media, and run admin tasks on WordPress 6.0 or later. WordPress 6.9 is only required if you want to use plugin abilities like those from All in One SEO or SeedProd.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Can I connect more than one WordPress site to WPVibe?</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Yes. WPVibe supports multiple sites under one free account. Install the Vibe AI plugin on each additional site and complete the site authorization step. Your existing WPVibe account covers all your sites.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>What happens if I disconnect WPVibe from my site?</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">You can remove a site from WPVibe in the plugin admin or on wpvibe.ai at any time. To fully revoke access, also delete the credential under <strong>Users » Profile » Application Passwords</strong>.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Ever wanted to build an AI support agent for your WordPress website or WooCommerce store?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Imagine customers asking a question at 2 a.m. and getting an instant, accurate answer, pulled straight from your own help docs, website content, and custom private SOPs. Plus, it can cut the repetitive 80% of support questions, so your team can focus on the questions that actually need a human.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Sadly, most AI support tools on the market are either crazy expensive or very complicated to set up.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It simply shouldn&#8217;t be this hard to give your customers fast, helpful answers.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">That&#8217;s why today, I&#8217;m excited to announce <a href="https://www.wpbeginner.com/refer/helpjet/" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow" title="HelpJet">HelpJet</a>, an AI-powered support chatbot that learns your documentation and answers customer questions automatically, 24/7, built by our team at HeroThemes, a <a href="https://www.wpbeginner.com/wpbeginner-growth-fund/" title="WPBeginner Growth Fund">WPBeginner Growth Fund company</a>.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" width="680" height="385" src="https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/the-ai-chatbot-that-featured.jpg" alt="introducing helpjet" class="wp-image-408996" srcset="https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/the-ai-chatbot-that-featured.jpg 680w, https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/the-ai-chatbot-that-featured-300x170.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px" /></figure>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">What Is HelpJet?</h4>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><a href="https://www.wpbeginner.com/refer/helpjet/" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow" title="HelpJet">HelpJet</a> is a standalone <a href="https://www.wpbeginner.com/showcase/best-chatbots-software-ai/" title="14 Best AI Chatbot Software for Your Website Compared">AI support chatbot</a> that trains on your own content and resolves the bulk of your repetitive tickets automatically.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://www.wpbeginner.com/refer/helpjet/" target="_blank" rel=" noreferrer noopener nofollow"><img decoding="async" width="680" height="327" src="https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/helpjet-homepage.png" alt="Hero banner for HelpJet AI showing a purple background, floating chat windows, and the headline: 'Give your support team the teammate they've always wanted.' including a Get Started Free CTA in the lower area." class="wp-image-408995" srcset="https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/helpjet-homepage.png 680w, https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/helpjet-homepage-300x144.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px" /></a></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It can read between the lines, understand what customers actually mean and respond with genuine empathy, especially when the customers are frustrated. In other words, it offers the human touch you’d expect from your best support person, combined with capabilities no human could ever match.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Aside from WordPress, it seamlessly integrates with BigCommerce, <a rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="Shopify" href="https://www.wpbeginner.com/refer/shopify/" data-nojs="1" data-shortcode="true">Shopify</a>, Webflow, and more.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Here’s why every small business needs HelpJet:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Create a custom GPT trained on your own website content. </li>



<li>Add an AI support agent for your business that works 24/7.</li>



<li>Speed up WooCommerce store support and boost sales.</li>
</ul>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Train Your AI Chatbot in Five Minutes</h4>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Train your AI chatbot by dropping your content like private SOPs, URLs, help articles, and more.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you drop a URL from your WordPress site, then HelpJet asks you which post types to fetch. Select the post types, and it trains from your content.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" width="679" height="489" src="https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/helpjet-training.png" alt="Screenshot of a bot-training UI: enter a training URL, choose content types (Posts/Pages), and start training." class="wp-image-408994" srcset="https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/helpjet-training.png 679w, https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/helpjet-training-300x216.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 679px) 100vw, 679px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">HelpJet also automatically re-scans your site weekly to stay up-to-date. You can also trigger a manual refresh anytime from your dashboard.</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Easily Embed the Chatbot on Your Site</h4>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The easiest way to embed HelpJet’s chatbot on your website is by installing its WordPress plugin.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As soon as the plugin is activated, a floating chat widget will appear on your site.&nbsp;</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" width="680" height="311" src="https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/chatbox-example.png" alt="Cafe interior with a glowing 'CAFE' sign and hanging green pendant lights; on the right, a chat assistant panel with a small Bean &amp; Brew photo and intro text." class="wp-image-408993" srcset="https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/chatbox-example.png 680w, https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/chatbox-example-300x137.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">You can choose which corner of the screen the widget should appear in, right or left.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Additionally, you can embed the chatbot in any articles with the ‘HelpJet Chatbot’ block or <a href="https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-add-a-shortcode-in-wordpress/" title="How to Add a Shortcode in WordPress (Beginner’s Guide)">with a shortcode</a>.</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Built to Understand WooCommerce Stores</h4>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you run a WooCommerce store, then HelpJet can help you with pre-sales and post-sales questions. The best part is that it can read product variations, stock levels, shipping classes, and tax rules.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So when a shopper asks, &#8220;Is this available in blue?&#8221; or &#8220;Do you offer shipping to Texas?&#8221;, it answers with real information instead of providing a generic answer.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For store owners, that&#8217;s the difference between a <a href="https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/ways-to-recover-woocommerce-abandoned-cart-sales/" title="14 Ways to Recover WooCommerce Abandoned Cart Sales">lost sale</a> and a closed one.</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Route Complex Questions to Your Team</h4>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Here&#8217;s the objection I always hear: &#8220;What happens when the bot can&#8217;t answer?&#8221;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">When a question is too complex, or the customer simply wants a human, HelpJet routes the conversation to your team smoothly.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And here&#8217;s the clever part: when your support agent answers, HelpJet learns from that resolution. Next time, it can handle the question on its own.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">That means your bot gets smarter every single day.</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Clean Analytics Dashboard to See Exactly What&#8217;s Working</h4>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">HelpJet includes a clean analytics dashboard so you&#8217;re never guessing.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" width="680" height="439" src="https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/helpjet-analytics.png" alt="Dashboard of chatbots with stats: Satisfaction 100%, Resolution 100%, Interactions 2, Messages received 2, Messages answered 2; AI Support Assistant active" class="wp-image-408992" srcset="https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/helpjet-analytics.png 680w, https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/helpjet-analytics-300x194.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">You can track conversation volume, satisfaction rate, and resolution rate at a glance. You&#8217;ll see the questions customers ask most, which quietly reveal the gaps in your documentation.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Every answer gets a thumbs up or down, and the whole activity log is tagged by sentiment.</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Test Your Chatbot Before You Go Live</h4>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">You&#8217;d never want an under-trained bot talking to real customers. HelpJet includes a built-in preview environment for exactly this reason.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" width="680" height="652" src="https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/ready-to-test.png" alt="helpjet ready to test" class="wp-image-408999" srcset="https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/ready-to-test.png 680w, https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/ready-to-test-300x288.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">You can ask the bot real questions, check its answers, and fine-tune its tone and behavior… all before a single customer ever sees it.</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Built by the Team Behind Heroic Themes</h4>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">HelpJet comes from <a href="https://www.wpbeginner.com/refer/herothemes/" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow" title="HeroThemes">HeroThemes</a>, a team that&#8217;s been building WordPress support software for roughly 15 years. They&#8217;re the folks behind Heroic KB, the popular knowledge-base plugin, and Heroic Inbox, their shared-inbox ticketing tool.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Over those years, HeroThemes kept running into the same frustration with Heroic KB customers: businesses had genuinely great documentation, but most visitors never read it. Customers would rather ask or just leave. HelpJet is their answer to that, turning the docs you&#8217;ve already written into instant answers your customers actually get.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you&#8217;re already using Heroic KB or other <a href="https://www.wpbeginner.com/opinion/best-knowledge-base-plugins-for-wordpress-compared/" title="9 Best Knowledge Base Plugins for WordPress (Compared)">knowledge base plugins</a> on your site, then HelpJet works alongside them.&nbsp;</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Getting Started With HelpJet</h4>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Getting up and running takes just a few minutes:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">✅ Sign up for a <a href="https://www.wpbeginner.com/refer/helpjet/" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow" title="free HelpJet account">free HelpJet account</a> (no credit card required).</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">✅ Point it at your help docs, URLs, or PDFs to train your first bot.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">✅ Preview and fine-tune the answers in the testing environment.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">✅ Install the WordPress plugin to embed the chatbot on your site.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The free plan is genuinely free forever. You get one bot and 100 interactions per month, which is a great way to see the value before you commit to anything.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">When you&#8217;re ready to scale, the Pro plan runs $29/month (or about $23/month billed annually) with three bots and 1,000 monthly interactions. It also comes with a 14-day free trial, again with no credit card.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I&#8217;d love to hear how you&#8217;d use HelpJet on your own site. If there&#8217;s a feature you&#8217;d like to see, let the team know… this is exactly the kind of feedback that shapes a young product.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Thanks, as always, for being part of our community. I truly believe HelpJet levels the playing field, giving small businesses the kind of live support that used to be reserved for the giants.</p>

<h4 id="aioseo-personal-updates" class="wp-block-heading">My Personal Updates</h4>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you’re new here, you might not know that I have been using WordPress since I was 16 years old, and I started WPBeginner in 2009 when I was in college at age 19.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Ever since then, WordPress community has played a huge role both in my life as well as my family’s life.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">My son, Solomon is now 9 years old, and our baby girl, Aliyah, was born 6 months ago. Parenting is one of the wonderful gifts of life. We recently restarted our travels and took a trip to Mexico as well as Italy. I&#8217;ll be sharing more about these trips later in the year when I do my annual year end reviews.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you didn’t get a chance to&nbsp;<a href="https://syedbalkhi.com/my-2025-year-in-review/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" title="">read my 2025 recap</a>, I highly recommend checking it because I shared lessons learned from last year.</p>

<h4 id="aioseo-wpbeginner-updates" class="wp-block-heading">WPBeginner Updates</h4>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This year, Google&#8217;s algorithm updates and the rapidly changing A.I. landscape continued to impact our traffic.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The good news is that we&#8217;re fortunate to have an incredible community of readers and subscribers, and that&#8217;s what matters MOST. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Since starting WPBeginner, my focus has always been on creating helpful tutorials and resources for WordPress beginners, and that will never change. We&#8217;re already adapting how we create and share content for this new era, and we&#8217;re excited about what&#8217;s ahead.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I&#8217;m truly grateful for everything we&#8217;ve accomplished together this year.</p>
