Add my server

Install Wordpress in Claude Code

What you need first

  • Claude Code, installed.
  • Node.js, which gives the npx command the server starts with.
  • Your own values for YOUR_WORDPRESS_SITE_URL,YOUR_WORDPRESS_USERNAME,YOUR_WORDPRESS_PASSWORD.

Steps

  1. Run this in a terminal, in the project folder. It adds the server for you in that project; put --scope user after claude mcp add to have it in every project.
claude mcp add --env WORDPRESS_SITE_URL=YOUR_WORDPRESS_SITE_URL --env WORDPRESS_USERNAME=YOUR_WORDPRESS_USERNAME --env WORDPRESS_PASSWORD=YOUR_WORDPRESS_PASSWORD --transport stdio wordpress-mcp -- npx -y @cavort-it-systems/[email protected]
  1. Replace YOUR_WORDPRESS_SITE_URL,YOUR_WORDPRESS_USERNAME,YOUR_WORDPRESS_PASSWORD with your own values.
  2. Start Claude Code and type /mcp: the server is listed with its state.

Check it worked

Ask Claude Code: List the tools of wordpress-mcp.

If it does not start

spawn npx ENOENT
Node.js is not on the PATH that Claude Code sees. Install it, or write the full path of npx in the config.
The server starts, but its tools fail
A YOUR_… placeholder is still in the config, or its value is wrong.
