It just got easier for Claude to check in on your WordPress site
On Thursday, WordPress launched a new Claude connector, which allows site owners to share back-end data with Anthropic’s chatbot system. Users can determine what specific data they want to share, and access can also be revoked if and when the user wishes.
Notably, Claude is given read-only access, meaning he cannot change anything within a user’s CMS. However, last year WP claimed that it would eventually bring ‘write’ access to the MCP integration, presumably allowing users to perform editorial tasks directly from a connected chatbot of their choice.
In any case, once Claude is linked to an account, users can ask the chatbot all kinds of questions about the site data it has been given access to – from summarizing the site’s monthly web traffic to performing analysis on which posts have low user engagement.
WordPress has also provided a list of template prompts for the chatbot – things like “Show me open comments on my blog” or “Which of my sites gets the most traffic?” or “Show me which posts generate the most discussion.” Other features include comment management (“Show me open comments on my blog”) and plugin management (“Which plugins are installed on my main site?”).
