OfficialThe official WordPress MCP Adapter (under the WordPress GitHub org) is a PHP library and plugin from the 'AI Building Blocks for WordPress' initiative. It bridges WordPress's Abilities API (introduced in WordPress 6.9) to MCP, automatically converting every registered ability into MCP tools, resources, and prompts so AI clients can discover and invoke core, plugin, and theme functionality. Auth is WordPress login or Application Passwords for HTTP; transports include HTTP, STDIO, and custom. It supersedes the now-archived Automattic/wordpress-mcp plugin.
