What it does
A Node.js proxy from Automattic that lets a local MCP client talk to a WordPress site's MCP server over HTTP. The client starts it with npx and points it at the site's MCP Adapter endpoint; the proxy forwards messages and handles sign-in with an application password, a JWT token or an OAuth 2.1 flow with PKCE that stores and refreshes tokens. The README says clients that already speak Streamable HTTP and can authenticate do not need it, and lists cases that do: stdio-only clients, unusual authentication, outbound proxies, slow sites and local logging.
Capabilities
- Bridge a stdio MCP client to a WordPress MCP endpoint
- Sign in with application passwords, JWT or OAuth 2.1
- Store and refresh OAuth tokens
- Add custom headers to requests
- Log forwarded calls to a file
Install
- Run this to add it to Any client:
