From the developer

Jose Conti's own description of MCP Content Manager Lite, lightly tidied.

MCP Content Manager Lite turns your WordPress site into a first-class Model Context Protocol (MCP) server so AI assistants like Claude, ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Windsurf, Continue, JetBrains AI Assistant or Cowork can manage your content using natural language.

It is not a wrapper around the REST API. The plugin auto-discovers every CPT, taxonomy, ACF group, custom field and registered meta on your site and exposes them as MCP abilities, so your AI client instantly understands the structure of your specific install — without configuration files, without code, without YAML.

Why MCP Content Manager Lite over other MCP plugins

Most WordPress MCP plugins ship 10–20 hardcoded tools that wrap a fixed list of REST endpoints. MCP Content Manager Lite ships 60+ abilities out of the box, plus trust, onboarding and observability features that the rest of the ecosystem treats as paid extras:

  • Auto-discovery, not hardcoded tools. Your AI client sees your real schema — CPTs from CPT UI, ACF, JetEngine, Pods, Toolset; taxonomies; statuses; shortcodes; permalink structure — generated at runtime. No YAML files to maintain.
  • OAuth 2.1 with PKCE built in. No application passwords. The plugin runs its own OAuth 2.1 server with Dynamic Client Registration so Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and Copilot connect with one click.
  • Granular per-client allowlists. Each OAuth client has its own allowed_abilities list, editable visually. Give Claude full access, give a webhook integration only read-post and list-recent-posts.
  • AI image generation with Google Gemini. Generate up to three images per call, save them to the Media Library, set as featured image. Imagen, multiple aspect ratios, 2K/4K and image editing remain Premium.
  • Rate limiting per client_id, Activity Log with 30-day retention, MCP annotations on every ability and a public /health endpoint for uptime monitoring.
  • Get Started wizard + Connect tab with copy/paste config for Claude Desktop, ChatGPT, Cursor, Windsurf, Continue and JetBrains AI.
  • Universal SEO read across Yoast, Rank Math, AIOSEO, The SEO Framework, SureRank, SEOPress, Slim SEO and Squirrly. One ability, eight plugins.
  • Universal multilingual read across Polylang, WPML and TranslatePress.
  • WooCommerce read-only when WooCommerce is active.
  • Spanish translation bundled. Coexistence with Premium with no conflicts.

No code. No configuration. Install, activate, run the wizard, paste the URL into your MCP client.
