10 Things You Can Do with Claude + MCP + WordPress
Claude connected to your WordPress site via MCP can do in seconds what would take you 20 minutes manually. Here are 10 real things you can say to Claude right now — once you’ve set up the MCP connection.
Before You Start
You’ll need:
- Understand what MCP is (MCP for Beginners)
- AIWU’s MCP connected to Claude — set it up with Claude Remote MCP (OAuth) (~5 minutes)
1. Create a Blog Post in Seconds
“Create a WordPress draft post titled ’10 Ways to Reduce Cart Abandonment’ with an SEO-optimized introduction paragraph. Tag it with ‘ecommerce’ and ‘conversion’.”
Claude writes the content, creates the post as a draft, and adds the tags — all in one command.
2. Update Product Prices
“Find all WooCommerce products in the ‘Summer Sale’ category and reduce their price by 20%. Show me a list of what you’ll change before making updates.”
Claude asks for confirmation before making changes — exactly the kind of safety check you’d want.
3. Analyze Your Recent Orders
“How many orders did I get this week? What’s the average order value? Which product sold the most?”
Claude queries your WooCommerce data and gives you a summary — no need to export CSVs or dig through reports.
4. Answer Questions About Your Content
“Search my published posts for articles about ‘shipping policy’. Show me the titles and links.”
Claude searches your WordPress content and returns matching posts — useful for quickly checking what’s already published on a topic.
5. Write and Respond to Comments
“Show me the last 10 unapproved comments on my site. Write a professional response for each one and mark them as approved.”
Claude reads your WordPress comment queue, generates responses, and approves them — one workflow instead of clicking through 10 individual comments.
6. Generate Product Descriptions
“I just added 15 new products to WooCommerce — they have titles but no descriptions. Generate SEO-optimized descriptions for all of them based on their titles and categories.”
Claude identifies products missing descriptions and fills them in automatically.
7. Audit and Fix SEO Issues
“List all posts published in the last 30 days that have no meta description. For each one, suggest a meta description.”
Claude generates a prioritized list and drafts fixes — you just review and approve.
8. Create and Manage Content in Bulk
“Create 5 draft posts about seasonal gardening tips. Use these topics: [list]. Add them all to the ‘Gardening’ category.”
Claude creates multiple drafts in sequence — useful for planning content calendars or setting up series.
9. Manage Users
“Show me all users who registered this month. What roles do they have?”
Claude queries your user database and summarizes the results — useful for checking new signups or verifying access levels.
10. Debug and Explain Site Data
“My site had a traffic drop last Tuesday. Look at the post activity — were any posts published, updated, or deleted around that time?”
Claude correlates your WordPress content changes with dates, helping you identify potential causes.
Tips for Getting the Best Results
| ✅ Works well | ❌ Less effective |
|---|---|
| Specific requests: “Find products priced over $100 with no image” | Vague requests: “Fix my store” |
| Step-by-step with confirmation: “Show me before updating” | Mass updates without preview: “Change everything” |
| Scoped queries: “Last 30 days”, “Published posts only” | Unbounded queries that return thousands of items |
| Referencing known data: “The product titled ‘Blue Sneakers'” | Fuzzy references: “That product I was talking about” |
What Claude Cannot Do (Yet)
- Install or update plugins (this requires direct server access)
- Change WordPress core files or theme PHP files
- Access Google Analytics data (unless integrated via Workflow)
- Process payments or refund orders directly
- Search your trained AI knowledge base (embeddings) — MCP works with WordPress data, not the vector database
