WordPress MCP Setup for Claude Code

The WordPress MCP Adapter plugin exposes a WordPress site as an MCP server. Combined with Automattic’s @automattic/mcp-wordpress-remote package, Claude Code can create and edit posts, manage pages, and interact with WordPress directly from a session.

Architecture

Claude Code
  └── stdio
      └── npx @automattic/mcp-wordpress-remote
              └── HTTPS (Application Password auth)
                      └── WordPress REST API (/wp-json/mcp/...)
                              └── MCP Adapter plugin
                                      └── WordPress Abilities API

Requirements

  • WordPress 6.9+
  • Node.js (installed via nvm)
  • MCP Adapter plugin activated on the WordPress site

Setting Up Mnemosyne Memory for Claude Code

Mnemosyne is a local-first AI memory system that integrates with Claude Code via MCP, giving Claude persistent memory across sessions.

Why MCP Instead of CLI

The CLI (mnemosyne store, mnemosyne recall) is a manual tool — you run it yourself and paste results back. The MCP integration makes Mnemosyne a first-class tool Claude can call directly, just like any other tool in a session.

Concretely, with MCP:

  • Claude automatically stores and retrieves memories during a conversation without any manual intervention
  • Memory reads and writes happen inline, so context is enriched transparently
  • No copy-pasting: Claude calls mnemosyne_remember or mnemosyne_recall the same way it calls any other tool

The CLI remains useful for inspection (mnemosyne stats), backup (mnemosyne export), and manual management — but it is not a substitute for the MCP integration when Claude is the one that needs to remember things.

Connecting WordPress MCP via Tailscale

Most guides for connecting AI assistants to a self-hosted WordPress site via MCP suggest using Cloudflare Tunnel or ngrok to expose the site publicly. This works, but it also reintroduces infrastructure layers that can interfere with MCP: WAFs, bot-fight rules, page caches, and host-level rewrites that intercept REST API requests before WordPress ever handles them.

A cleaner alternative, if your machines are already on Tailscale: skip the public internet entirely.
