📝 Context Summary

This document details the official WordPress.com connector for Claude, the first of its kind for a WordPress host. Built on the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and secured with OAuth 2.1, the connector allows users to grant Claude read-only access to their site's data. This enables Claude to answer questions and provide insights based on real site traffic, comments, and content history directly within the Claude interface.

Official Claude Connector for WordPress.com

WordPress.com has launched an official, supported connector for Claude, allowing users to safely connect the AI agent to their site’s real-time data. This partnership builds on WordPress.com’s existing Model Context Protocol (MCP) infrastructure and OAuth 2.1 support to provide a secure, easy-to-use integration.

The connector is available in Claude’s official connectors directory, removing setup friction and providing clear, revocable permissions.

  2. Configure Tools: Specify which tools you want to make available to Claude via the MCP settings.
  3. Add Connector in Claude: In Claude’s settings, browse the connectors directory, search for “WordPress.com,” and click to connect.
  4. Authorize Access: You will be prompted to log in to WordPress.com and grant secured, read-only access to your sites via OAuth 2.1.

This connection gives Claude read-only access to your site content; it cannot create, delete, or update posts. Access can be revoked at any time from either platform.

Key Capabilities & Use Cases

Once connected, Claude can answer questions using your site’s live data, not generic information. This unlocks powerful, natural language queries for site analysis.

Example Prompts:

  • "Show me my site’s traffic for the last 30 days."
  • "Summarize recent comments across my site."
  • "Which posts haven’t been updated in over a year?"
  • "Show me pages with high traffic but low engagement."

These prompts leverage the same data and tools available in the WordPress.com dashboard, but are surfaced through an intuitive conversational interface.
