How the MCP server for WordPress works

An MCP server translates WordPress capabilities into tools that a compatible client can discover and execute.

Basic flow

  1. The client discovers tools.
  2. It requests a specific operation.
  3. The server validates permissions and scopes.
  4. If required, it requests approval.
  5. It executes the tool and returns the result.

Why this is different from generic access

The client does not need shell access or knowledge of the site's entire administration.
