AcrossAI MCP Manager

Connect ChatGPT to WordPress. Connect Claude to WordPress. Connect Grok to WordPress. Connect any MCP-compatible AI assistant to WordPress. MCP Manager is the open-source Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for WordPress — so ChatGPT, Claude, Grok, Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot, VS Code, Windsurf, Zed, Cline, Codex, and 5+ other AI clients can safely read, edit, and act on your site through WordPress-native Application Passwords. No copy-pasting configs between tabs; no proxy service in the middle; no vendor lock-in. Setup takes under a minute end-to-end via the Quick Setup wizard — install the plugin, click through the guided flow, paste the ready-made JSON into your AI client, done. Your first prompt to Claude / ChatGPT / Cursor lands on the same WordPress site you just configured. Every headline section below links to the full documentation at acrossai.co/doc-category/mcp-manager — the docs are the source of truth and get updated first. Source and issues live at github.com/acrossai-co/acrossai-mcp-manager. Key Features Multiple MCP servers per site — create, enable, disable, and configure independently. → Docs 16 built-in AI-client connection guides — copy-paste-ready configs for Claude Desktop, Claude Code, VS Code, GitHub Copilot, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Windsurf, Zed, Cline, Roo Code, Kilo Code, Amazon Q Developer, OpenCode, Antigravity, and a Custom Client template. New clients register via a filter callback. → Docs CLI browser-approval flow — let terminal users connect with one command; approval happens in a browser tab. → Docs WP-CLI (STDIO) transport — local clients can connect through a WP-CLI subprocess with no network credential transmission. → Docs Application Passwords under the hood — WordPress-native credentials, one-click generation, and revocation from the user profile page. → Docs Per-server tool and ability curation — pick exactly which WordPress abilities each MCP server exposes as callable tools. → Docs Per-server access control — gate every MCP request by user, role, capability, or your own policy provider. → Docs Frontend embeds — shortcode + block to show your users how to connect their AI clients from your own site. → Docs How It Works The Quick Setup wizard walks you through activation, password generation, and pasting the config — the whole path takes under a minute end-to-end and is the recommended way for a first-time install. Prefer to do it by hand? The six-step manual flow below is exactly the same underneath: Install and activate the plugin (step-by-step) Open AcrossAI → MCP in your WordPress admin Pick your AI client tab (Claude, VS Code, ChatGPT, Cursor, Gemini, GitHub Copilot, or Custom) Generate a new Application Password with one click Copy the ready-made JSON config and paste it into your client Restart your client — it now sees your site’s abilities Longer walkthrough with screenshots: Getting started → connect your first AI client. Connection Types MCP Manager ships with three connection styles out of the box, plus one optional paid add-on: MCP Client (npx bridge) — the default. Paste a JSON config into Claude Desktop, VS Code, Cursor, etc. Uses @automattic/mcp-wordpress-remote@latest with a WordPress Application Password. → Docs CLI Connections (browser approval) — one command in the terminal, one click in the browser, zero password copying. → Docs WP-CLI (STDIO) — local subprocess, no network credential transmission. Best for CI or local dev boxes. → Docs AI Connectors (paid add-on) — one-click Claude, ChatGPT, Grok, Gemini, and Cursor hosted-OAuth connectors.
