It's official: WordPress.com has a Claude Connector

By James W. LePage on February 5, 2026

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

This means that you can now safely 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 let AI agents work with real WordPress.com site context — something most standalone AI tools don't have.

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

This partnership builds on that foundation by bringing WordPress.com into Claude's connectors directory — a curated set of trusted tools with clearly defined permissions.

For WordPress.com users, this removes the setup hassle. You can connect Claude to your site in a few clicks and always see what it can access.

Let's get connected

Ready to use the WordPress.com Claude Connector? Here's how to get set up:

Enable MCP on your WordPress.com account. Note that MCP access is only available for sites on paid WordPress.com plans.
Specify which tools you want to make available to Claude. A full reference of tools can be found in our developer documentation.
On Claude desktop or web, go to your Settings. Click Connectors, and then click the "Browse connectors" button.
Search for "WordPress.com" and click the + button to connect.
You'll be prompted to log in to WordPress.com and grant secured access to your sites, thanks to OAuth 2.1.

This connection gives Claude read-only access to your site content, meaning it won't be able to 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 partnership unlocks for you and your site

Once set up, Claude can answer questions using your real WordPress.com site data, not estimates or generic guidance.

For example:

"Show me my site's traffic for the last 30 days.": Identify traffic insights for your site in just a sentence.
"Summarize recent comments across my site.": See what readers are responding to and where conversations are happening.
"Which posts haven't been updated in over a year?": Surface content that may need refreshing based on publish and update history.
"Show me pages with high traffic but low engagement.": Spot opportunities for improvement using real site data.

These prompts are grounded in the same data and tools you already use in WordPress.com — they're now all easily surfaced through the Claude interface.

What's next for WordPress.com and AI?

We're thrilled 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's designed to evolve alongside both platforms.

You can connect Claude to your WordPress.com site now, explore the documentation to get started, or share feedback with us as we continue building deeper AI integrations into WordPress.com.
