Building a WordPress MCP Server for Claude: Automating Blog Posts with AI

Building a custom MCP server to connect Claude directly to WordPress, enabling automated blog post creation with proper formatting and intelligent categorisation.

Third day, third MCP experiment (inspired by a quick conversation with Dave).

This time I connected Claude with this WordPress blog.

At the end of the chat that I used for the whole process of writing, building and installing the tool on my Mac, I asked Claude to write a post about the experience.

Of course I wouldn’t allow Claude to post unsupervised original stuff to my blog like I just did, but as Dave was pointing out, these are our new writing tools, being able to post directly without having to copy and paste just makes sense.

And here’s the recipe

I’m not confident enough in the tools I built this week to share them around just yet. As long as they run on my Mac, I’m happy, but I can’t really take responsibility for how they’d work for anyone else.

Still, while I’m not serving up the dish, I’m definitely happy to share the recipe!

If you plug this prompt into Claude or ChatGPT, you’ll get pretty close to what I’ve got running. Then ask how to build it and how to configure Claude and you should be good to go. Good luck, and let me know how it goes.

(I think that sharing prompts is an act of love.)
