An MCP server works as a structured API-like interface for AI models: the client (such as the Claude app) connects to the server, which exposes a set of endpoints declaring available tools and functions. This enables the model to perform actions like querying, updating, or managing your WordPress content.
You have two main approaches:
- Using your WordPress as the MCP server: Claude connects to your WordPress site and gains capabilities based on what is exposed through AI Engine.
- Using Claude inside AI Engine: Here, Claude becomes the internal model in AI Engine, and it can connect to a remote MCP server (another site, for example).
To Use MCP Features
- Enable Orchestration Module:
Go to your Server Modules and activate the Orchestration module. - After that, in your Settings tab, the orchestration section will appear.
- If you want your server to be used as an MCP (Master Control Point), go to the Remote Access section.
