WordPress.com has a Claude Connector

WordPress.com has launched an official connector for Claude – the first of its kind for a WordPress host.

This means you can now securely connect Claude to your site and know that the integration is officially supported by both Anthropic and WordPress.com.

From MCP access to an official connector

A few months ago we introduced MCP access to allow AI agents to work with the real WordPress.com site context – something most standalone AI tools don’t have.

With our recent addition of OAuth 2.1 support, these integrations have become both more secure and easier to authorize using the agents you already rely on.

This partnership builds on that foundation by involving WordPress.com Claude’s connector folder — a curated set of trusted tools with clearly defined permissions.

For WordPress.com users, this takes away the installation hassle. You can connect Claude to your site with just a few clicks and always see what he has access to.

Let’s connect

Ready to use the WordPress.com Claude Connector? To set it up:

1. Enable MCP on your WordPress.com account. Please note that MCP access is only available to sites with paid WordPress.com plans.
2. Indicate which tools you want to make available to Claude. A full reference of tools can be found in our developer documentation.
3. On Claude desktop or internet, go to Settings. Click Connectors and then click the “Browse Connectors” knob.
4. Search for “WordPress.com” and click the + button to connect.
5. Thanks to OAuth 2.1, you will be prompted to log in to WordPress.com and grant secure access to your sites.

This connection gives Claude read-only access to your site’s content, meaning he cannot create, delete, or update content. You can also revoke Claude’s access at any time by removing it from your connected apps in Claude or disabling MCP access on WordPress.com.

What this collaboration means for you and your site

Once set up, Claude can answer questions using your Real WordPress.com site data, not estimates or general guidelines.

For example:

• ‘Show me the traffic on my site over the last 30 days.’: Identify traffic insights for your site in just one sentence.
• “Summary recent comments on my site.”: see what readers are responding to and where conversations are happening.
• “What posts haven’t been updated in over a year?”: surface content that may need to be refreshed based on publication and update history.
• “Show me pages with high traffic but low engagement.”: Discover opportunities for improvement using real location data.

These directions are based on the same data and tools you already use on WordPress.com. They are now all easily accessible through the Claude interface.

What’s next for WordPress.com and AI?

We’re excited to share this partnership with you, and we encourage you to connect Claude to your WordPress.com sites today for easier site analysis and site-specific insights.

And because this connector is built and supported in partnership, it is designed to evolve alongside both platforms.

Now you can connect Claude to your WordPress.com site, explore the documentation to get started, or share feedback with us as we continue to build deeper AI integrations in WordPress.com.
