# How to Connect AI Agents With WordPress using MCP (Step by Step)

**[WordPress Beginner](https://daily.dev/sources/wpbeginner)** · 13 min read · 2 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

A step-by-step guide to connecting AI assistants (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Windsurf) to a self-hosted WordPress site using the Model Context Protocol (MCP) via the free WPVibe plugin. Once connected, you can create posts, upload media, manage plugins, run SEO tasks with AIOSEO, build forms with WPForms, and manage WooCommerce products — all from plain-text prompts. The guide covers prerequisites (WordPress 6.9+, HTTPS, public site), setup steps, worked prompt examples, security considerations using WordPress application passwords, and troubleshooting tips.
