mcp-wpcom-remote

What it does

An npm package from Automattic that wraps its mcp-wordpress-remote proxy with defaults for WordPress.com. Started with npx from a client such as Claude Desktop, it points at the WordPress.com public API MCP endpoint and opens a browser for WordPress.com sign-in on first run, using OAuth 2.1 with PKCE and dynamic client registration, then keeps the tokens in a separate config folder. A JWT token or a custom endpoint can be set instead. It needs Node.js 22 and a WordPress.com account; self-hosted sites should use the underlying proxy directly.

Capabilities

Connect a stdio MCP client to WordPress.com
Sign in to WordPress.com with OAuth 2.1
Store tokens separately from the generic proxy
