<p>Born Creative MCP Server transforms your WordPress site into a fully authenticated remote MCP (Model Context Protocol) endpoint. It allows AI assistants — such as Claude.ai — to securely connect to your site and create, update, schedule, and manage posts, pages, media, and taxonomy, all via a standards-compliant OAuth 2.1 and JSON-RPC 2.0 interface.</p>
<p>Unlike local stdio-based MCP servers, this plugin exposes a remote HTTP transport, meaning your AI tools can connect to your live WordPress site without needing direct server access.</p>
<p><strong>How it works</strong></p>
<p>The plugin registers a set of REST API endpoints that implement the MCP streamable HTTP transport. Clients authenticate using OAuth 2.1 with PKCE (Proof Key for Code Exchange), receive a bearer access token, and then use that token to call any of the 18 built-in MCP tools.</p>
<p><strong>MCP Tools included</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Posts</strong> — list, get, create, update, delete, search</li>
<li><strong>Pages</strong> — list, get, create, update, delete</li>
<li><strong>Media</strong> — list, get, upload from URL, upload base64-encoded, delete</li>
<li><strong>Categories</strong> — list, create, update</li>
<li><strong>Tags</strong> — list, create</li>
<li><strong>Yoast SEO</strong> <em>(optional)</em> — get and update Yoast SEO metadata (requires Yoast SEO plugin)</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>OAuth 2.1 Authentication</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Dynamic client registration (RFC 7591)</li>
<li>Authorization code flow with PKCE</li>
<li>Access token and refresh token lifecycle management</li>
<li>Token rotation and revocation</li>
<li>Tokens are SHA-256 hashed — plaintext tokens are never stored</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Advanced content features</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Schedule posts by setting a future publish date</li>
<li>Set featured images</li>
<li>Add custom post meta</li>
<li>Sideload media from external URLs</li>
<li>Full category and tag assignment</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Yoast SEO integration</strong></p>
<p>If the Yoast SEO plugin is active, two additional MCP tools are automatically registered: <code>yoast_get_seo</code> and <code>yoast_update_seo</code>, allowing AI assistants to read and write SEO titles, descriptions, and focus keywords.</p>

<p>StrifeBridge MCP turns your WordPress site into an MCP (Model Context Protocol) endpoint that AI assistants like Claude can connect to directly. Instead of describing a change to an AI and then applying it yourself, you ask and it happens.</p>
<p>Want to add a blog post? Ask Claude. Need to update a menu item? Ask Claude. Wondering which pages are missing SEO metadata? Ask Claude to check and fix them.</p>
<p>StrifeBridge MCP exposes a structured, token-authenticated REST API and MCP server inside your WordPress install. AI assistants that support MCP (Claude.ai, Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, and any MCP-capable agent framework) can connect to it and perform tasks across your site through natural language.</p>
<h4>What you can do</h4>
<ul>
<li>Create, update, and delete posts, pages, and custom post types</li>
<li>Upload files to the media library and manage attachments</li>
<li>Read and write WordPress options, with a security blacklist for sensitive keys</li>
<li>Manage navigation menus, taxonomy terms, and widgets</li>
<li>List, activate, deactivate, and delete plugins</li>
<li>List users and inspect their roles</li>
<li>Get site info, flush rewrite rules</li>
</ul>
<h4>How it works</h4>
<ol>
<li>Install and activate the plugin</li>
<li>Go to Settings and copy your Connector URL (the bearer token is embedded in the path)</li>
<li>Paste the URL into your AI assistant as a custom MCP connector</li>
<li>Ask the assistant to do things on your site</li>
</ol>
<p>No middleware, no third-party relay service. Every request goes from your AI assistant directly to your own WordPress site. You own the endpoint, you own the token, and you can revoke access at any time from Settings.</p>
<h4>Compatible with</h4>
<ul>
<li>Claude.ai (web and desktop) — primary integration</li>
<li>Claude Desktop app</li>
<li>Cursor</li>
<li>Windsurf</li>
<li>Any MCP-capable agent framework</li>
</ul>
<h4>Security</h4>
<p>StrifeBridge MCP was designed with security as a first-class concern:</p>
<ul>
<li>Bearer token authentication on every request, validated with constant-time <code>hash_equals()</code></li>
<li>WordPress secret keys, auth salts, and the plugin’s own token are blacklisted from the options API</li>
<li>Emergency Lockdown button in Settings disables the entire API with one click</li>
<li>Every tool group (posts, media, menus, etc.) can be individually toggled off from Settings</li>
<li>The plugin includes no outbound network calls, no analytics, and no tracking</li>
</ul>
<h4>Compatibility with self-hosted WordPress</h4>
<p>StrifeBridge MCP works on any self-hosted WordPress installation running WordPress 5.6 or higher. WordPress.com and WordPress Multisite are not currently supported.</p>
<h4>Extending StrifeBridge MCP</h4>
<p>StrifeBridge MCP exposes extension hooks that let add-on plugins register additional MCP tools without modifying the core plugin. Developers can hook into <code>sbmcp_register_rest_routes</code>, <code>sbmcp_mcp_tools</code>, <code>sbmcp_mcp_tool_call</code>, <code>sbmcp_tool_groups</code>, and <code>sbmcp_admin_after_settings</code> to add routes, tools, admin UI, and tool groups. This is how separately distributed add-ons extend the plugin with features like file editing, database queries, and user management.</p>
