TL;DR

AI summary of the plugin's readme

NIBWP is for WordPress site owners and developers who want AI assistants like Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor to read and manage their site content. It solves the problem of AI tools needing a secure, self-hosted way to connect to WordPress without routing data through external cloud relays or proprietary APIs.

  • Self-hosted MCP server
  • Application Passwords authentication
  • Capability-based permission checks
  • Read/write posts and pages
  • Manage categories, tags and taxonomies
  • Custom field support (ACF, Meta Box, Pods, JetEngine)
  • Per-site key/value memory store
  • Master on/off switch

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about NIBWP – WordPress MCP Server for Claude & AI Agents

MCP is an open standard that lets AI assistants call structured "tools" on external systems. Without it, you copy‑paste content between WordPress and your AI by hand. With NIBWP, Claude, Claude Code, ChatGPT, Gemini and Cursor can read posts, create and update content, manage media and menus, and look up site data directly — through a secure, authenticated connection.
Two things. First, NIBWP is 100% self‑hosted — there is no external relay or cloud proxy, so your content never leaves your server (some alternatives route every MCP request through their own infrastructure). Second, it is built on WordPress core — the official Abilities API plus Application Passwords — instead of a custom API‑key system and a proprietary protocol layer. Access is capability‑checked per object, and a master switch turns everything off in one click.
No. NIBWP uses WordPress core Application Passwords for authentication. You generate one on the Connect screen, paste it into your AI client, and revoke it whenever you like. There is no separate API key, no account, and no subscription.
No. NIBWP is pure PHP and runs inside your existing WordPress install on any standard host. There is no Node.js requirement, no cloud relay, and no external service dependency.
Open NIBWP → Connect, enable AI Abilities, and generate an Application Password. Copy the ready‑made prompt (it already contains your endpoint, username and password) and paste it into Claude — it adds the MCP server itself. Claude Code users can also run the shown claude mcp add command.
Yes. Any MCP‑compatible client can connect using the site's MCP endpoint and an Application Password sent as HTTP Basic auth. The Connect screen shows the exact endpoint and credentials.
Introduced in WordPress 6.9, the Abilities API is the official way for plugins to register typed, AI‑callable functions. The wordpress/mcp-adapter package bridges those abilities to the MCP protocol. NIBWP bundles the adapter and adds a curated, capability‑checked ability set on top — keeping your site aligned with WordPress core's AI roadmap.
Security is enforced at several layers. Every ability requires authentication and passes WordPress capability checks plus per‑object checks (per‑post, per‑term, per‑user). Option access is limited to a non‑sensitive allowlist, and sensitive option and meta values (passwords, secrets, API keys, auth salts, session tokens, capabilities) are filtered out. Comment creation respects your moderation and "comments open" settings. A master switch disables every ability for the whole site in one click.
Yes. NIBWP exposes post, term and user meta abilities. Because those plugins store data as standard WordPress meta, an AI agent can read and write their fields the same way a human editor would.
The free plugin reads and writes any post type and meta, so it already covers products, custom fields and most builder content generically. For deeper, schema‑typed control, NIBWP Pro adds dedicated integrations for 30+ plugins — including WooCommerce, Elementor, Bricks, Etch, Divi, ACF, Yoast SEO, Rank Math, SEOPress, LearnDash, Tutor LMS, MemberPress, Fluent Forms, Gravity Forms and Automatic.css.
