MCP plugins and servers for WordPress: connect Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini and Cursor to a WordPress or WooCommerce site over the Model Context Protocol, without pasting content between a chat window and wp-admin. A WordPress MCP plugin turns the site into an MCP server that AI apps talk to directly, so an assistant can draft posts, update products, answer order questions or fix SEO meta on the live site instead of describing the change for you to make by hand. What separates the plugins in this category from a bare MCP server is the governance layer: who may connect, which WordPress roles get read, write or delete on each area, an OAuth 2.1 consent screen instead of a shared application password, and an audit log that records the user, the AI app and the permission behind every change. AI Gateway WP ships those controls with 160 free tools for posts, pages, media, comments, users, WooCommerce products, orders and coupons, and the PRO version adds bulk edits that preview first, Undo on any audit row, a self-verifying audit chain and WooCommerce Subscriptions reports.
