Connect Claude, ChatGPT and other AI agents to WordPress with a free WordPress MCP server. Say it in plain words, and the AI does it on your site.
AlphaBridge MCP lets the Claude or ChatGPT you already use work directly on your WordPress site: write and schedule posts, upload images, answer comments, edit menus, check and fix SEO fields, read your WooCommerce orders, pending updates and site health. No account, no API key, no credits, connected in about two minutes. Rated A by Glama, with the highest score of all WordPress MCP servers with 40 or more tools.
Try it:
“Write a post from these notes and schedule it for Friday.”
“Approve the new comments and answer the question about opening hours.”
“Write a meta description for every post that has none.”
“Add alt texts to the images in the media library that have none.”
“Which of my sites have updates waiting?”
“Show me the texts and buttons on the home page, in page order.”
Watch the whole setup in one minute: Connect Claude to WordPress in five steps . Or click Live Preview on this page and look around the plugin on a test site.
What is a WordPress MCP server?
MCP, the Model Context Protocol, is the open standard AI assistants use to work with other software. An MCP server offers tools that an assistant can call. AlphaBridge MCP turns your WordPress site into such a server. Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code, Cursor and other MCP clients see its tools, and when you ask for something, the assistant picks the right tool and runs it on your site, with the rights of your WordPress user.
You need nothing else for it: no WordPress MCP Adapter, no extra plugin, no service to sign up for. AlphaBridge speaks MCP itself, in plain PHP inside WordPress. It reads widgets, site settings and pages built with blocks or a common page builder, and it works in the SEO fields of Yoast SEO and Rank Math.
58 tools. No license key, no registration, no quotas. The free plugin is complete, not a trial.
Why AlphaBridge MCP
Free and complete. Every free tool works without payment, registration or license key, and the plugin does not expire. No usage quotas and no credits: you use Claude or ChatGPT as you do today.
Connect straight from Claude’s directory. In Claude, pick AlphaBridge from its connector directory, enter your site’s address and approve on your own site.
It reads until you allow more. Out of the box the AI only reads. One switch lets it write, one click turns writing off again.
Your WordPress rights apply. Every connection acts as a real WordPress user. What that user may not do, the AI cannot do.
Reads Elementor and 15 more page builders. Their pages come back as an outline: the elements in page order, with their texts, links and images.
Up to 10 sites in one chat. The free hub, the service of AlphaBridge MCP that links your sites to Claude and ChatGPT, brings up to 10 WordPress sites into one chat, in every edition.
Runs on shared hosting. Plain PHP over the WordPress REST API, with nothing else to install on the server.
Who it is for
Site owners. You look after the site of your practice, shop, club or blog yourself. Now you tell Claude or ChatGPT what should change, and it happens on your site, without copying texts between tabs.
Freelancers and agencies. Bring up to 10 client sites into one chat and hand routine changes to the AI, while every site keeps its own login and rights. Agency adds Site Deploy for relaunches.
Developers. Work from Claude Code, Cursor or Codex on a live site, inside the WordPress rights model you already know.
Connect Claude to WordPress
01Install AlphaBridge MCP from Plugins → Add New Plugin and activate it.
02Open AlphaBridge MCP for WordPress in Claude’s connector directory and click Connect.
03Enter your site’s address and approve on your own site’s login-protected consent screen.
Claude asks only for your site’s address. It then works on your site in the browser, in the desktop app and on the phone. To connect without the hub, add your site’s MCP address as a custom connector instead.
Connect ChatGPT to WordPress
ChatGPT on Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise and Edu adds your site as a plugin:
04In ChatGPT, open Plugins, choose Add, then add a custom MCP server.
05Paste your site’s MCP address from Settings → AlphaBridge MCP as the server URL and choose OAuth.
06Approve on your own site.
The plugin’s settings page walks you through the same steps and checks that ChatGPT can sign in.
Connect Claude Code, Cursor, Codex and other MCP clients
Clients that sign in with OAuth need only your site’s MCP address. For the others, create a connection under Settings → AlphaBridge MCP: Cursor gets a ready-made config, Claude Code a ready-made command, and every other client the address and a key for this one connection. This works for Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, VS Code, Windsurf and your own scripts. Each connection gets full access, content only or read only, and a connection you create in the plugin can also get an expiry.
What your AI can do with the free plugin
Posts and pages. Write, edit, schedule, duplicate and delete posts and pages, and read their custom fields and earlier revisions. Search the whole site.
Media. Add JPEG, PNG, GIF, WebP and PDF files from the chat or from a web address. Change titles, captions and alt texts, and delete files.
Categories and tags. Create, rename and delete the terms of any taxonomy.
Comments. Read, approve, answer and delete comments, and move spam out of the way.
SEO. Read and set the SEO title, meta description and focus keyword that Yoast SEO or Rank Math keep for each post, and find what is missing.
Updates and site health. See which plugins, themes and WordPress versions wait for an update, and how the site is doing.
Page builders. Read the pages of supported builders as an outline: the elements in page order, with their texts, links and images.
Menus. Read the navigation menus, create a menu, and add or remove its items.
Shop. Read WooCommerce orders, products, coupons and customers.
Users, plugins and themes. List the user accounts and read one with its roles; see which plugins and themes are installed and active.
Cron and error log. See the scheduled WP-Cron events, and with write access on read the latest lines of debug.log.
Widgets and settings. Read the widgets, the sidebars and the common site settings.
Site audits. Ask for a check of all posts: thin content, missing meta descriptions, images without alt text. The AI works through the list with you.
Many sites. Bring up to 10 sites into one chat and work on whichever you name.
Page builders it reads
It reads a page as an outline: its elements in page order, with their visible texts, links and images. Elements it cannot read safely, such as code or forms, are listed as locked, without their content.
Read: WordPress blocks, Elementor, Beaver Builder, SiteOrigin Page Builder, SeedProd, GenerateBlocks, Kadence Blocks, Spectra, Stackable, Pagelayer, Otter Blocks and CoBlocks (both as plain blocks), WPBakery Page Builder, Divi 4, Avada (Fusion Builder), Flatsome (UX Builder) and Enfold (Avia Layout Builder).
Read according to the vendors’ documentation: WPBakery Page Builder, Divi 4, Avada, Flatsome and Enfold.
Recognised, not read: Brizy, Themify Builder, Zion Builder, Live Composer, Cornerstone, Thrive Architect, Bricks, Breakdance, Oxygen 6, Oxygen Classic, BeTheme (BeBuilder), Visual Composer Website Builder, Divi 5 and Etch.
Where a builder shows its own data and the WordPress content is only a copy, as with Elementor, Beaver Builder, SiteOrigin Page Builder and Enfold, the free plugin leaves that copy alone while the builder is active, because a change there would not show, and says how to change the page instead. With Pro, the AI changes texts, links and images right in the builder, with a preview first.
You stay in control
Read-only until you switch it on. Out of the box the AI can only read. One switch, “Write access for AI assistants”, lets it create, change and delete. One click turns it off again.
Your WordPress rights apply. Every connection acts as a real WordPress user. What that user may not do, the AI cannot do.
Rules per connection. Give each app full access, content only or read only. A connection you create in the plugin can also get an expiry. Switching write access on turns every tool on. Each connection keeps its access level. Single tools or whole groups can be switched off.
A clear log. The plugin keeps the latest 200 tool calls with time and status, and the settings page shows the newest. A limit of 120 requests a minute stops runaway request bursts.
Answers that help. When AlphaBridge refuses a request, it says why and what to do next.
No telemetry. The plugin sends no telemetry and contacts no outside service on its own.
Works with
AI apps: Claude in the browser, the desktop app and on the phone, ChatGPT from Plus upwards, Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, VS Code, Windsurf and other MCP clients.
SEO plugins: Yoast SEO and Rank Math. All in One SEO is recognised.
Page builders: Elementor, Beaver Builder, SiteOrigin Page Builder, SeedProd, the block editor and the others listed above.
Hosting: any WordPress host with PHP 8.0 or newer, shared hosting included. HTTPS is recommended.
More with Pro
AlphaBridge MCP Pro is a separate add-on. Everything in the free plugin plus the Pro tools, 135 tools on your site:
Page builders. Change texts, links and images on pages of Elementor and many other page builders, with a preview first. Watch it in under a minute .
Code with a safety net. Edit theme and plugin files and PHP snippets. After each edit of active PHP code, Pro tests the site and puts the old version back if the test finds a fatal PHP error.
Undo. One sentence brings an edited page or file back. Its undo points expire after 7 days by default, adjustable from 1 to 30 days.
Shop and users. Prices, stock, order status and coupons in WooCommerce. Create, change and delete user accounts.
Your other plugins. Run the abilities your other plugins offer the AI.

At the top, the main switch for write access, off until you turn it on. Below it, pick your assistant — Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or another client — and follow its steps: for Claude a direct link into its connector directory, this site's address to copy, the video and the guide. A token is created onThe moment you create a connection, the plugin shows what you need once — the Bearer token and a copy-paste config for Cursor / Claude Code, and the connector URL if connector-URL authentication is switched on — with a reminder to save it, because the token is shown in full only once.Optional advanced settings for a connection: a label, the WordPress user it acts as, full, content-only or read-only access, and an optional expiry in days.Switch all tools, a group or a single tool; open a group to see its tool groups and what each tool does, whether it reads or writes, or search for one. These switches sit under «Fine-tuning», below the main switch for write access at the top of the page.Claude: both ways in side by side — through the hub (one connection, up to 10 sites) or directly with a custom connector — and under them the setting Claude needs: whether apps may sign in with their Connect button.ChatGPT: its three steps, and under them how ChatGPT signs in, with the status line for ChatGPT and Codex — direct, with the time of the last check and «Check again» — or, where the check found a firewall that blocks the direct sign-in, the two steps that lead to the goal: add the connector in the a

Gettingstarted.
01In WordPress, go to Plugins → Add New Plugin, search for “AlphaBridge MCP”, install and activate it.
02Claude: open AlphaBridge MCP for WordPress in Claude’s directory and click Connect. Enter your site’s address and approve on your own site’s login-protected consent screen. There is no endpoint or token to copy. To connect without the hub, add your endpoint as a custom connector instead.
03ChatGPT: open Plugins, choose Add, then add a custom MCP server. Paste your site’s MCP address from Settings → AlphaBridge MCP as the server URL, choose OAuth and approve on your site.
04Cursor, Claude Code and other clients: under Settings → AlphaBridge MCP, create a connection. Cursor gets a ready-made config and Claude Code a ready-made command.
05Assistants only read until you allow more. To let them create, change and delete, and read user profile fields and the error log, switch on “Write access for AI assistants” at the top of Settings → AlphaBridge MCP. Changes then take effect immediately and not everything can be undone. You switch it on at your own risk, so keep a current backup. Switching it on asks you to agree to the Terms of Use.

Frequently asked questions.
Is it really free?
Yes. All its tools work without payment, registration or license key, and the plugin does not expire. There are no usage quotas, only a limit of 120 requests a minute that protects your server. You need no API key or AI credits either: AlphaBridge has no AI of its own, and you use Claude or ChatGPT as you do today.
Is it secure?
Yes, and it starts read-only. Until an administrator switches on write access, every tool that creates, changes or deletes is refused, and so are the readers of user profile fields and of the error log. Each connection acts as a real WordPress user: what that user may not do, the AI cannot do. It cannot read arbitrary site options, only a fixed list of common settings and the settings of the site’s widgets. The latest 200 calls are logged.
What if the AI gets something wrong?
Deleted posts and pages go to the trash by default, and WordPress keeps the revisions of edited posts as usual. Write access switches off again with one click. Keep a current backup all the same. Pro adds undo by chat: one sentence brings back an edited page, a page-builder element, a theme or plugin file or a PHP snippet.
Which AI apps work with it?
Claude in the browser, the desktop app and on the phone, ChatGPT from Plus upwards, Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, VS Code, Windsurf and any other client that speaks MCP. Claude connects from its connector directory, ChatGPT as a plugin with OAuth, the others with OAuth or a connection you create in the plugin.
Do I need the WordPress MCP Adapter?
No. AlphaBridge is its own MCP server with its own tools, so it works without the adapter and without the Abilities API. With Pro, the AI can also run the abilities that your other plugins register.
Does it work with WooCommerce, Elementor, Yoast and Rank Math?
The free plugin reads Elementor pages and the pages of many other page builders, reads and sets the SEO title, meta description and focus keyword of Yoast SEO and Rank Math, and reads the orders, products, coupons and customers of WooCommerce. Pro changes texts, links and images in the builder and works in WooCommerce: prices, stock, order status, customers and coupons.
Can I limit what the AI may do?
Yes. Each connection gets full access, content only or read only and acts as the WordPress user you choose. A connection you create in the plugin can also get an expiry. Single tools or whole groups can be switched off, and the main switch turns all writing off with one click.
Do I need to know how to code?
No. You install the plugin like any other, connect your assistant from its own app and say what you need in plain words.
Can I manage several sites?
Yes. The free hub brings up to 10 WordPress sites into one Claude or ChatGPT chat, in every edition. Each site is approved on its own login and keeps its own rights, switch and log.
Does it work on shared hosting?
Yes. It runs inside WordPress, in plain PHP, over the WordPress REST API. There is nothing else to install on the server. It needs PHP 8.0 or newer, and HTTPS is recommended.
Sign-in ends with “Not Acceptable” or mentions Mod_Security
Some hosts run a firewall that refuses any request with a web address in the app’s ID, and some apps (ChatGPT, Codex) identify themselves with exactly such an address. The site checks this itself and, where the firewall blocks it, lets ChatGPT and Codex register with the site instead. Then:
01In the app, remove the connector for this site and add it again. The sign-in now goes through.
02If it still fails, add the connector once more, this time with this address instead of your site’s: https://connect.alphabridge-mcp.com/mcp. When you click Authenticate, the free AlphaBridge hub asks for your site’s address. Enter it and approve on your site as usual.
If the site did not notice the firewall (some let requests from the site’s own server pass), switch the direct sign-in off by hand: Settings → AlphaBridge MCP → ChatGPT → “Switch the direct sign-in off”, then add the connector again.
A proxy has trouble with the newer MCP revision
The site answers apps in MCP revision 2026-07-28 and keeps the older revisions for apps that ask for them. If a proxy in front of the site cannot handle the newer one, a developer switches it off with add_filter( 'ab_mcp_modern_protocol', '__return_false' ); in a small plugin, or by setting modern_protocol to false in the option ab_mcp_options ; the site then answers in the older revisions only.
Does the plugin send data anywhere?
No. It sends no telemetry and contacts no outside service on its own. The three cases you start yourself are listed under External services, at the end of the description.
Do I need Pro?
Not to get started. The free plugin covers content, media, comments and menus and reads your shop, on as many sites as you like. Take Pro for page-builder texts, code and changes in your shop, with undo for pages and files. Agency is for client sites: all tools and Site Deploy on up to 10 sites. Pro can be tried free for 7 days, no card needed: alphabridge-mcp.com
Is there an affiliate programme?
Yes. Recommend AlphaBridge and profit. As an affiliate you profit from every Pro and Agency purchase made through your link, renewals included, paid monthly in US dollars via PayPal. It is open worldwide to anyone over 18 who does not live in a country under a US embargo, customer or not: apply on https://alphabridge-mcp.com/affiliates, where you also find the terms, banners and ready-made texts. The commission comes from sales of the separately sold Pro and Agency editions. This free plugin itself earns none, and it works fully without joining.
