Claude for WordPress

Control Your WordPress with Claude

Not ready to leave WordPress? You don't have to. Connect Claude to your existing site and manage content, plugins, SEO, and your WooCommerce store through natural language — no migration, no disruption. Building pages with Elementor? There's a route for that too: Claude Code + Elementor.

Claude integrates with WordPress via the REST API and WooCommerce REST API. Natural language maps to authenticated API calls — GET /wp/v2/posts, PUT /wc/v3/products/{id} — all from a single conversation thread. No plugin required on the WP side.

We're advocates of Claude CMS — but we get it

We believe Claude CMS is the best way to build a website from scratch. No plugins, no themes, no overhead — just Claude building exactly what you need on your own server for £6.99/month.

But if you've spent years building your WordPress site, if your team knows the dashboard, if your plugins are embedded in your workflow — we understand you may not want to make the jump right now. That's completely valid.

The good news: Claude works seamlessly alongside your existing WordPress. You keep everything you've built, and gain an AI layer that controls it through conversation.

Claude CMS is Claude + MCP tools writing directly to a PHP/MySQL server. The same principle extends to WordPress: Claude + WordPress REST API + WooCommerce REST API = full conversational control of any existing WP installation. No data migration. No downtime.

Everything your WordPress needs — through conversation

From writing and publishing posts to managing your WooCommerce store, Claude handles it all through natural language. No clicking through menus, no hunting for settings, no plugin to buy.

Claude maps natural language to WordPress REST API endpoints. Each operation is an authenticated HTTP call — create, read, update, delete — executed directly against your WP installation via Application Password credentials.

✏️

Content management

Write new posts and pages, update existing content, change categories and tags, schedule publications, and manage drafts — all by describing what you want to Claude.

POST /wp/v2/posts, PUT /wp/v2/pages/{id}, PATCH status fields. Supports custom post types, ACF field updates via the meta endpoint, and bulk status changes across post sets matching a query.

🔍

SEO & meta management

Update page titles, meta descriptions, and Open Graph tags across your site. Ask Claude to audit your top pages for missing meta and fix them all in one go — no Yoast dashboard needed.

Yoast SEO, Rank Math, and All in One SEO expose meta via post meta fields (e.g. _yoast_wpseo_title, _yoast_wpseo_metadesc). Claude updates these via the REST meta endpoint. Bulk updates via paginated GET + batched PUT.

🛒

WooCommerce products

Add new products, update prices and descriptions, manage stock levels, create product variations, and organise categories — by talking to Claude instead of clicking through WooCommerce.

GET/POST/PUT /wc/v3/products. Supports variable products with full variation matrix, product meta, gallery image IDs, and stock_quantity management. Batch API handles up to 100 items per request.

Order management

Check new orders, update fulfilment status, process refunds, send customer notes, and pull order reports — all without opening the WooCommerce Orders screen.

GET /wc/v3/orders with status/date/customer filters. PUT for status transitions. POST /orders/{id}/notes for customer comms. Full and partial refunds via the /refunds sub-endpoint.

WooCommerce order management
🧩

Plugin management

Check which plugins need updates, activate or deactivate plugins, adjust settings, and troubleshoot conflicts — without navigating the WordPress admin panel.

GET /wp/v2/plugins (WP 5.5+). PUT /wp/v2/plugins/{plugin} for activate/deactivate/update operations. Plugin-specific settings accessible via their own REST namespaces or the options API via a lightweight custom endpoint.

Bulk operations & automation

Run operations at scale that would take hours manually — update 200 product descriptions, add schema markup to 50 posts, or fix broken links across your entire site.

Claude chains REST calls in a paginated loop — GET all items matching a filter, then batched PATCH/PUT. WooCommerce Batch API (/wc/v3/products/batch) handles up to 100 items per request natively.

We set it up — you just ask

You don't configure anything inside WordPress. We build the connection, test it against your site, and hand you an account where it is already working — with every other connector unlocked alongside it.

We provision the scoped credentials, register WordPress REST and WooCommerce REST as MCP tool endpoints, and verify read/write against your install before handover. Secrets stay server-side — you never handle an API key.

01

We build the connection

Tell us your site address. We authorise the connection against WordPress and WooCommerce and check every operation works before it reaches you. Nothing to install, nothing to configure.

We issue per-app credentials scoped to the role you approve, bind them to the connector, and run a read/write verification pass across posts, media, products and orders. Rotation and re-authorisation are handled by us.

02

It's live in your account

Sign in to your Claude CMS account and the WordPress connection is already there under Connections — ready to query your posts, products and orders straight away.

The connector is bound to your Claude CMS account and reachable from the Claude apps and Claude Code alike. Tool calls become authenticated REST requests — no headers, tokens or curl on your side.

03

Control by conversation

Tell Claude what you need. "Write a blog post about our summer sale and publish it." "Update all wool product prices to £24.99." Claude handles the rest.

Natural language intent maps to REST verb + endpoint + body construction. Claude handles pagination, error handling, and response parsing — returning a plain-language confirmation of every operation.

Claude and WordPress — common questions

How do I connect Claude to WordPress?

You do not have to. We build the connection for you: tell us your site address and we authorise it against WordPress and WooCommerce, test it, and it appears in your Claude CMS account under Connections ready to use. You never install a plugin or generate an API key yourself.

Do I have to set it up myself?

No. Setup is something we do, not a task we hand you. We provision the credentials, verify read and write access across your posts, media, products and orders, and support the connection from there. The same account then unlocks every other connector we build.

Does Claude need a WordPress plugin?

No. The connector does not require you to install a plugin on your WordPress site, so there is nothing extra to keep updated and nothing new to break at the WordPress end.

What can Claude change on my WordPress site?

Posts, pages, categories, tags and media, plus WooCommerce products, prices, stock and variations. It can also work with theme files where you allow it.

Does it work with Claude Code?

Yes. The same connector is reachable from Claude Code as well as the Claude apps, so you can drive your WordPress site from whichever you already use.

Do I have to migrate away from WordPress?

No. The connector is for controlling the WordPress site you already have. Claude CMS is there if you later want a site with no plugins to maintain, but nothing forces the move.
