AlphaBridge MCP

Your WordPress site, managed in conversation.

Tell Claude what you want done — “draft a post from these notes, add last week’s photos, fix the SEO titles and schedule everything for Friday” — and it happens on your site. Not through screen-clicking or raw admin access, but through structured tools that respect WordPress permissions on every single call.

AlphaBridge MCP turns your WordPress site into a native Model Context Protocol (MCP) server. AI clients such as Claude connect over one authenticated HTTPS endpoint and manage content, media, taxonomies, comments, widgets and site settings.

You stay in control

Handing an AI the keys to your site should feel safe — so control comes first:

• Every connection acts as a real WordPress user, and every tool checks the matching WordPress capability. What that user may not do, the AI cannot do.
• Scoped connections: hand out a read-only or content-only key with an optional expiry instead of full access. Rotate a connection’s secret in one click.
• Tool groups you can switch off entirely — disabled tools vanish from the MCP surface. Plus a global read-only mode.
• An audit log records every tool call, and a fixed rate limit stops abusive request bursts.

Connected in two minutes

Paste your endpoint URL into Claude, click Connect, approve on your own site’s login-protected consent screen — no token copying (standard OAuth 2.1 with PKCE; the login is your WordPress login, no account with us). For clients without a Connect button, create a token manually and paste one ready-made config.

Nothing extra to host

Unlike bridge-based solutions, AlphaBridge speaks MCP directly in PHP inside WordPress. No Node middleware, no external service, nothing else to run or pay for — it works on ordinary WordPress hosting, which makes it faster and more stable.

Free means free

Everything in this plugin is fully functional: no license keys, no registration, no plan-based, cumulative or time-based usage limits, no locked features.

What’s inside

• Native MCP endpoint (JSON-RPC 2.0 over HTTP POST; protocol versions 2024-11-05, 2025-03-26, 2025-06-18) — no external server required.
• 39 structured tools across content, media, taxonomies, comments, widgets, site settings, site info, SEO reads and search.
• Bearer-token authentication mapped to a real WordPress user, with per-tool capability checks.
• Unlimited connections — create one deliberately limited key per client.

Need more? A separate commercial add-on, AlphaBridge MCP Pro, adds tool groups for the database, users, plugin and theme files, WooCommerce, migration and one-step site deployment over SFTP. It is entirely optional — this free plugin is complete on its own and stays fully functional without it. Details are on the plugin website.

AlphaBridge is our own product brand for this project. MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open protocol standard; this plugin is an independent implementation and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the protocol’s authors or by any other vendor.

External services

This plugin makes no automatic outbound requests and sends no telemetry. One tool can contact an external address, and only on your explicit instruction: when you call wp_upload_media_from_url with a URL, the plugin downloads that file from the address you provide (and up to a few safely re-validated redirects; SSRF-guarded, type- and size-checked). The plugin itself initiates no other outbound requests.
