AtlasAI Connector is the only WordPress MCP server that pairs 80+ built-in AI abilities with AI writing tools in both the Block Editor and the Classic Editor. It turns your site into a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server so AI assistants and autonomous AI agents like Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor, and Claude Desktop can read, write, and manage your posts, pages, media, users, settings, and WooCommerce store through natural language. On top of the 80+ built-in abilities, Pro auto-discovers 10+ external abilities from the official WordPress AI plugin, WooCommerce, and WordPress core — so abilities other plugins expose become AI tools too.

Generate excerpts, feature images, summaries, titles, and alt text without leaving the post — while role-based access control and one-click OAuth 2.1 connect keep every AI connection under your control.

Connect Claude to WordPress

Activate the plugin and your WordPress MCP server endpoint goes live at /wp-json/awfah_mcp/mcp. Enable one-click OAuth 2.1 under MCP Auth, paste that URL into Claude.ai or Claude Desktop as a custom connector, approve the consent screen, and Claude is connected to WordPress — no manual tokens to copy.

Connect ChatGPT, Cursor, Windsurf & Claude Code to WordPress

The same MCP endpoint connects ChatGPT (via OpenAI connectors), Cursor, Windsurf, Claude Code, Gemini CLI, and any other MCP-compatible client. Use one-click OAuth 2.1 where the client supports it, or fall back to JWT and Application Password authentication — per-client setup guides are included in the documentation.

Works with the official WordPress AI plugin

AtlasAI Connector integrates with the official AI plugin instead of running a parallel system:

Our five AI experiments appear as feature cards on its Settings AI screen, right beside the built-in ones.
They respect the AI plugin’s per-feature toggles — one screen controls everything.
The AI plugin’s editorial Guidelines are injected into every prompt automatically, so generated content stays on brand.
You can hide the AI plugin’s duplicate experiments — per experiment or globally — from the AtlasAI Connector dashboard, so editors see one AI button, not two.

Classic Editor supported

All five AI experiments also work in the Classic Editor — unlike the official AI plugin, which is Block Editor only:

Excerpt generation, title suggestions, and post summarization on the classic edit screen.
AI feature image generation in the Featured Image box.
Image alt text from the media modal — the AI is sent the actual image (vision), so it describes what is really in it.

If your site still runs the Classic Editor — as millions do — you get the same AI tools without switching editors.

Why AtlasAI Connector?

Connect any AI client — Claude Desktop, Claude.ai, ChatGPT, Cursor, Windsurf, Gemini CLI, or any MCP-compatible tool, over standard JSON-RPC 2.0.
MCP server + AI content in one plugin — most WordPress MCP plugins do one or the other. AtlasAI Connector does both.
80+ ready-to-use abilities — exposed to AI as tools, resources, and prompts, including 26 WooCommerce store abilities, plus 10+ auto-discovered external abilities (Pro).
Secure by design — OAuth 2.1 with PKCE + dynamic client registration, plus JWT and Application Password support, and per-role access control so each AI connection only sees what its WordPress user is allowed to use.
Works on WordPress 6.8+ — bundles the WordPress Abilities API and MCP Adapter, so you do not have to wait for the WordPress versions where these ship in core.
Multi-provider AI — OpenAI, Google Gemini, or Anthropic Claude via the WordPress AI Client; provider keys set once under Settings Connectors are shared with WordPress core AI features.
Workflow builder — combine abilities into reusable workflows from the dashboard or the post editor meta box.

Modules — 80+ abilities, individually toggleable

Each module can be enabled or disabled independently of the AtlasAI Connector dashboard:

AI Content Steward (8 abilities) — AI content analysis, generation, and improvement.
Posts Manager (13) — full CRUD for posts, categories, and tags.
Pages Manager (5) — CRUD for WordPress pages.
Media Manager (7) — upload, update, and manage media files.
Users Manager (7) — search, create, and manage users.
Custom Post Types Manager (6) — CRUD for any registered custom post type.
REST API Tools (3) — discover and execute any WordPress REST endpoint dynamically.
Site Info & Diagnostics (4) — site info, plugins, themes, and users at a glance.
Settings Manager (3) — view and update WordPress settings.
AI Store Manager — WooCommerce (26) — products, categories, tags, brands, orders, and sales reports. Requires WooCommerce.
Error Debugger (4) — real-time PHP error monitoring with AI fix commands (details below).
External Abilities (Pro) — auto-discovers 10+ abilities registered by the official WordPress AI plugin, WooCommerce, and WordPress core, and exposes them through the same MCP server, workflows, and access control.

WooCommerce AI Agent — 26 Store Abilities

Turn Claude or ChatGPT into a WooCommerce AI agent: search and manage products, product categories, tags, and brands, review orders, and pull sales reports by chatting with your connected AI assistant. All 26 store abilities go through the same MCP server, workflows, and role-based access control, and register only when WooCommerce is active.

AI Content Generation in the Block Editor & Classic Editor

Five experiment panels run on your configured AI provider (OpenAI, Google Gemini, or Anthropic Claude), in both the Block Editor and the Classic Editor:

Excerpt Generation — one-click, SEO-friendly excerpts with tone/style presets.
Title Suggestions — multiple SEO-friendly title ideas to pick from.
Summarization — concise, neutral post summaries.
Feature Image Generation — AI feature images generated from your post content.
Alt Text Generation — vision-based alt text: the AI is sent the actual image, not just the filename, so descriptions reflect what is really in the picture.

Every panel ships with editable prompts, tone/style presets, and ready-made prompt templates — free. Pro extends every experiment with a prompt templates library (save and reuse your own prompts), batch variants (generate and compare multiple variations at once), generation history (review and restore past results per post), “Explain This Generation”, and keyboard shortcuts.

Error Debugger

Monitor PHP errors from plugins and themes in real time — no configuration required. Free: an error log grouped by file, email alerts with a copy-paste Fix Command for any AI assistant, and an admin dashboard widget. Pro: an MCP Fix Command you paste into Claude Desktop or Cursor so the AI reads the file, creates a backup, and applies the fix — plus Slack/Discord webhooks, a Backups Manager, and extended sources (Core, MU-Plugins, Drop-ins).

WordPress Abilities API Support

AtlasAI Connector is built on the WordPress Abilities API — every ability is registered through the standard API and exposed over MCP via the official MCP Adapter. Both are bundled as vendor dependencies, so everything works on WordPress 6.8+ today, before these APIs ship in your version of core. With Pro, abilities that other plugins register via the Abilities API are auto-discovered and become MCP tools too.

Works with the WordPress AI ecosystem

AtlasAI Connector is built on the same AI Building Blocks as WordPress core — the AI Client and the Abilities API. Add your provider key once under Settings Connectors, using the official AI Provider for OpenAI, AI Provider for Google, or AI Provider for Anthropic plugins, and AtlasAI Connector reuses it for its MCP server and AI experiments — no duplicate setup.

AtlasAI Connector Pro

AtlasAI Connector Pro adds:

Unlimited Workflows — free version allows 3.
T/R/P Access Modes — per-ability Tool/Resource/Prompt toggles for fine-grained MCP control.
Advanced AI Experiments — prompt templates library, batch variants, explain reasoning, generation history, keyboard shortcuts.
Workflow Prompt Builders — 6 pre-built prompt workflows (SEO Audit, Content Brief, Site Overview, and more).
External Abilities — auto-discover abilities from the official WordPress AI plugin, WooCommerce, and core.
Per-Ability RBAC — assign individual abilities (not just modules) to each WordPress role.
Error Debugger Pro — MCP Fix Command with automatic backups, Slack/Discord webhooks, Backups Manager.
Priority Support — plus a 7-day free trial, no credit card required.

Connecting AI Agents

Connect your AI client

First, in WordPress admin go to AtlasAI Connector MCP Auth, enable One-click OAuth 2.1 connect, and copy your server URL — it looks like https://your-site.com/wp-json/awfah_mcp/mcp. Then:

Claude Desktop — Settings Connectors Add custom connector, paste the server URL. Your browser opens the OAuth consent screen automatically — click Allow and your abilities appear as tools.
Claude.ai (web) — Settings Connectors Add custom connector, paste the server URL, and approve the consent screen that opens in your browser.
ChatGPT — Settings Apps & Connectors enable Developer Mode create a new connector with the server URL (requires a ChatGPT plan with connector support). The OAuth consent opens in your browser.
Cursor — Settings MCP Add new MCP server and paste the server URL (or add it to .cursor/mcp.json as a "url" entry), then approve the OAuth prompt in your browser.
Windsurf — Windsurf Settings Cascade MCP servers add a server with the URL as serverUrl in mcp_config.json, refresh, and approve the browser consent.
Gemini CLI — run gemini mcp add --transport http wordpress https://your-site.com/wp-json/awfah_mcp/mcp, then /mcp auth inside the CLI to complete the browser consent.

In every case the OAuth browser consent happens automatically — no client IDs, secrets, or tokens to copy. If your client cannot complete OAuth (headless/CI use, plain-HTTP local sites, or a subdirectory WordPress install), use the fallback instead: a JWT token or WordPress Application Password sent as an Authorization: Bearer header — full steps under MCP Auth Documentation “MCP Client Setup Guide”.

How the OAuth connection works (in brief)

AtlasAI Connector is its own OAuth 2.1 authorization server — your WordPress site is the identity provider. A connecting client discovers the server from .well-known metadata (RFC 9728 / RFC 8414), registers itself via Dynamic Client Registration (RFC 7591), and completes a PKCE authorization-code exchange (RFC 7636) after you approve the consent screen in your browser. The access token maps to your WordPress user, so your role and the per-role Access Control govern exactly what the connection can do. Review or revoke connected clients anytime under MCP Auth Connected clients. By default only users who can edit posts may authorize a connection (change it with the awfah_oauth_authorize_min_capability filter).

Role-based MCP access

Different WordPress users see different abilities depending on their role. Configure it under the Access Control tab: pick a role, check the abilities (and workflows) it may use, and save — changes apply immediately to every MCP connection authenticated as that role. An Administrator connection can use all 80+ abilities while an Editor connection is limited to content abilities only, and you can run both side by side in the same AI client using two accounts.
