Description
Digitalindo MCP for Claude AI connects Claude AI to your WordPress website using the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Once installed, you can instruct Claude to publish content, set SEO meta, and manage your site β without opening the dashboard.
Works with Claude.ai (web), Claude Code (CLI), and any MCP-compatible AI client.
π What is MCP (Model Context Protocol)?
MCP is an open standard by Anthropic that allows AI models like Claude to connect to external tools and services. Claude AI Connector exposes your WordPress site as an MCP server β so Claude can read and write content just like a human would.

- Go to Settings Digitalindo MCP for Claude AI and copy your Claude Connection URL
- Open Claude.ai Settings Connectors Add Custom Connector
- Paste the MCP Endpoint URL and API Key
- Start giving Claude commands like: “Create a new post titled ‘Best AI Tools 2025’ with Yoast focus keyword ‘AI tools’”
π¬ Example Claude Commands
After connecting, you can tell Claude:
- “Create a WordPress post titled ‘Top 10 SEO Tips’ with the content […], set the Yoast meta description to […], add it to the ‘SEO’ category, and publish it.”
- “Update post ID 42: change the slug to ‘top-10-seo-tips-2025’ and set the focus keyword to ‘SEO tips’.”
- “List all draft posts and set their status to ‘pending review’.”
- “Upload this image and set it as the featured image for post ID 12.”

- “Update stock for product ID 87 to out of stock.” (Agency plan)
π Authentication & Security
- Uses a securely generated API key (auto-generated on activation)
- Optional WordPress Application Passwords support
- All API endpoints are protected β no public access without authentication
- Your content stays on your server β no data is sent to third parties
π External Services
By default, this plugin does not transmit your data to any external service. All core communication happens directly between Claude AI and your WordPress REST API endpoint. Your credentials and content stay on your server.
Two features connect to third-party services, and only run when you explicitly configure and use them:
- Pixabay β used only when you add a Pixabay API key on the settings page and call the
search_stock_photosorimport_stock_phototools with source=pixabay. Your search keyword is sent topixabay.com/api/. See Pixabay’s Terms of Service: https://pixabay.com/service/terms/ - Unsplash β used only when you add an Unsplash Access Key on the settings page and call the same tools with source=unsplash. Your search keyword is sent to
api.unsplash.com, and (per Unsplash’s API guidelines) a download-tracking request is sent when you import a photo. See Unsplash’s API Guidelines and Terms: https://unsplash.com/api-terms
Neither service receives your post content, credentials, or any data beyond the search keyword you provide.

FAQ
-
Does this plugin work with Claude.ai web?
-
Yes! Go to Claude.ai Settings Connectors Add Custom, then paste your MCP Endpoint URL and API Key. Works on Pro and Team plans.
-
Does this work with Claude Code (CLI)?
-
Yes. Add the MCP server config to your
~/.claude/claude_desktop_config.jsonfile. Detailed instructions are on the plugin settings page. -
Is my WordPress data sent to Anthropic or any third party?
-
No, not by default. Your data stays on your server, and the plugin only exposes a local API endpoint β Claude AI connects directly to your WordPress site, no middleman. The one exception: if you configure a Pixabay or Unsplash API key and use the stock photo tools, your search keyword is sent to that provider. See “External Services” above.
-
Does it support custom post types?
-
Yes! You can specify any registered post type when creating or updating posts via Claude.
-
What SEO plugins are supported?
-
Yoast SEO and Rank Math are fully supported. If neither is active, the plugin falls back to standard WordPress post meta fields.
-
Can I restrict what Claude can do?
-
Yes. On the settings page, you can enable or disable individual tools (e.g., disable post deletion, restrict to draft-only).
-
Is it compatible with WordPress Multisite?
-
Each site in a multisite network needs its own API key. The plugin is compatible with multisite but manages keys per-site.
-
Do I need to know coding to use this?
-
No. Installation is the same as any WordPress plugin. The settings page gives you everything you need to connect Claude.
-
Does this plugin support WooCommerce?
-
Yes. WooCommerce product management (create/update products, categories, tags, stock, price, variations, and custom fields) is available on the Agency plan. The free version does not include WooCommerce tools, but every other feature listed above is completely free.
-
Is the free version fully functional, or is it a limited trial?
-
The free plan is fully functional for post, SEO, category, tag, and media management β no time limit, no feature crippling. Paid plans (Starter, Pro, Agency) add higher usage limits and advanced automation such as bulk posting, custom fields, WebP conversion, and WooCommerce tools.
-
Do I need a Pixabay or Unsplash account to use stock photos?
-
Yes, but both offer a free API key. Get one from pixabay.com/api/docs/ or unsplash.com/developers, then paste it into Settings Digitalindo MCP for Claude AI Stock Photos. This works on every plan, including Free.
-
Does WebP conversion work on any image?
-
It converts JPEG, PNG, and GIF images uploaded or imported through the plugin’s tools. It requires the Pro plan (or higher) and a server whose image library (GD or ImageMagick) supports WebP output β most modern hosts do.
