Official MainWP MCP Server

The MainWP MCP Server connects Claude, Cursor, OpenAI Codex, VS Code Copilot, and other MCP-compatible AI tools to MainWP, the self-hosted dashboard for managing many WordPress sites, so you can ask in plain English:

"Which sites have pending plugin updates?"

"Update WooCommerce everywhere it's behind."

"Which client sites are disconnected right now?"

"Check what we know about this client's sites before you update anything."

It runs on your own computer, next to your AI tool. Nothing new is installed on your Dashboard or your child sites.

You stay in control

  • Changes wait for your approval. By default, deleting a site, plugin, or theme shows you a preview first and runs only after you say yes. On Dashboard 6.3 and later, updates work the same way. Update confirmation is coming in MainWP 6.3 but available now in the Early Release program.
  • Safe mode blocks those destructive operations outright, with no approval prompt, while you get comfortable.
  • You choose the tools. Allow and block lists decide which tools your AI can see at all.
  • Your credentials stay with you. The server signs in with a WordPress Application Password that you can revoke at any time, and it talks only to your Dashboard.

How it all works: Safety & Permissions.

What you can do

  • Sites: list, sync, check connectivity, add, reconnect, or remove child sites
  • Updates: see pending core, plugin, theme, and translation updates across the network, and apply them
  • Plugins and themes: see what is installed, activate, deactivate, or delete
  • Clients and tags: manage client records, assign sites, and track costs
  • Knowledge: agency, client, and site notes, skills, and memories your AI reads before it works. Knowledge is coming in MainWP 6.3 but available now in the Early Release program.
  • Guided workflows: network summaries, site reports, security audits, and update plans

Around 70 tools in all, depending on your Dashboard version. See Tools & Resources.

Built for agencies and freelancers who manage many WordPress sites and want AI help with updates, maintenance, and client work.
