We just added something new under the hood: this blog now speaks MCP (Model Context Protocol), the open standard that lets AI assistants and agents talk to external tools and data in a structured way.
We installed the official WordPress MCP Adapter plugin, which bridges WordPress’s built-in Abilities API to the MCP spec. In practice, that means MCP-aware clients can discover and invoke WordPress abilities — core, plugin, and theme functionality — programmatically, instead of needing a human to click through wp-admin.
What this unlocks
- A standard MCP server endpoint at
/wp-json/mcp/mcp-adapter-default-server - Authenticated access via WordPress Application Passwords or a logged-in session
- A foundation for future integrations — AI-assisted content workflows, tooling that reads/writes site data through a well-defined protocol instead of ad hoc scripts
This is an early, experimental step — the plugin itself is still pre-1.0. We’ll share more as we build on top of it.
This blog runs on infrastructure we manage ourselves — a single-node k3s cluster we keep an eye on with Headlamp, our cluster dashboard. Curious what we do with this kind of plumbing for clients? See what MashupSoft builds.
