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.
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.
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.
<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>
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.
<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>
StrifeBridge MCP was designed with security as a first-class concern:
<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>
StrifeBridge MCP works on any self-hosted WordPress installation running WordPress 5.6 or higher. WordPress.com and WordPress Multisite are not currently supported.
<h4>Extending StrifeBridge MCP</h4>
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.

MCP Content Manager Lite turns your WordPress site into a first-class Model Context Protocol (MCP) server so AI assistants like Claude, ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Windsurf, Continue, JetBrains AI Assistant or Cowork can manage your content using natural language.
It is not a wrapper around the REST API. The plugin auto-discovers every CPT, taxonomy, ACF group, custom field and registered meta on your site and exposes them as MCP abilities, so your AI client instantly understands the structure of your specific install — without configuration files, without code, without YAML.
<h4>Why MCP Content Manager Lite over other MCP plugins</h4>
Most WordPress MCP plugins ship 10–20 hardcoded tools that wrap a fixed list of REST endpoints. MCP Content Manager Lite ships 60+ abilities out of the box, plus trust, onboarding and observability features that the rest of the ecosystem treats as paid extras:
<ul>
<li>Auto-discovery, not hardcoded tools. Your AI client sees your real schema — CPTs from CPT UI, ACF, JetEngine, Pods, Toolset; taxonomies; statuses; shortcodes; permalink structure — generated at runtime. No YAML files to maintain.</li>
<li>OAuth 2.1 with PKCE built in. No application passwords. The plugin runs its own OAuth 2.1 server with Dynamic Client Registration so Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and Copilot connect with one click.</li>
<li>Granular per-client allowlists. Each OAuth client has its own <code>allowed_abilities</code> list, editable visually. Give Claude full access, give a webhook integration only <code>read-post</code> and <code>list-recent-posts</code>.</li>
<li>AI image generation with Google Gemini. Generate up to three images per call, save them to the Media Library, set as featured image. Imagen, multiple aspect ratios, 2K/4K and image editing remain Premium.</li>
<li>Rate limiting per client_id, Activity Log with 30-day retention, MCP annotations on every ability and a public /health endpoint for uptime monitoring.</li>
<li>Get Started wizard + Connect tab with copy/paste config for Claude Desktop, ChatGPT, Cursor, Windsurf, Continue and JetBrains AI.</li>
<li>Universal SEO read across Yoast, Rank Math, AIOSEO, The SEO Framework, SureRank, SEOPress, Slim SEO and Squirrly. One ability, eight plugins.</li>
<li>Universal multilingual read across Polylang, WPML and TranslatePress.</li>
<li>WooCommerce read-only when WooCommerce is active.</li>
<li>Spanish translation bundled. Coexistence with Premium with no conflicts.</li>
</ul>
No code. No configuration. Install, activate, run the wizard, paste the URL into your MCP client.

<h3>External Services</h3>
This plugin connects to the following external services:
<h4>WordPress.org API</h4>
The system diagnostics feature tests whether your server can make outgoing HTTP requests (both GET and POST) by connecting to the WordPress.org core version check API. This is used only when the user explicitly requests a system diagnostics report. The data sent is the WordPress version number. No personal data is transmitted.

<li><a href="https://wordpress.org/about/privacy/" rel="ugc">Privacy Policy</a></li>
</ul>
<h4>OAuth 2.1 Authentication</h4>
This plugin implements an OAuth 2.1 server so that MCP clients (Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot, Cursor, etc.) can authenticate with your site. The OAuth flow happens entirely between the MCP client application and your own WordPress site. No data is sent to any third-party service by the plugin during authentication. The MCP client connects directly to your site’s REST API endpoints.
<h4>Google Gemini (optional, only when image generation is configured)</h4>
If — and only if — you configure a Google Gemini API key in Settings > MCP Content Manager Lite > Settings, the <code>generate-image</code> and <code>set-featured-from-prompt</code> abilities call Google’s Gemini API at <code>generativelanguage.googleapis.com</code>. The data sent is: the prompt provided by the AI client, the model id you have configured (default <code>gemini-2.0-flash-exp</code>) and the API key. The response (a base64-encoded image) is saved to the Media Library and the prompt is stored as attachment meta. No data is sent to Google when the API key is empty or the abilities are not invoked.
