WordPress.com runs a built-in remote MCP server that lets AI assistants read and write content across every site on your account, including posts, pages and comments. It authenticates with OAuth 2.1 in the browser, and you choose full or read-only access when approving. MCP must be enabled in your account preferences and requires a paid plan (or a free site's first 30 days); Jetpack-connected self-hosted sites with Jetpack AI or Complete also work.
