This series shows how to use Claude as an editor for your WordPress site through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Once set up, you can ask Claude to draft posts, set categories and tags, upload featured images, and fill in your Yoast SEO fields — all from a chat prompt.
No cloud subscriptions beyond Claude itself, no custom development. Just WordPress, a free plugin, and a Claude account.
Series overview
- Part 1 — How to connect your WordPress site to Claude with MCP using the Vibe AI plugin
Install the Vibe AI plugin, add it as a custom connector in Claude, authorize via email magic link, and publish your first AI-assisted post — all without touching the WordPress admin manually. - Part 2 — How to make Yoast SEO fields writable via MCP
By default, Yoast blocks REST API write access to its meta fields. This guide unlocks focus keyphrase, meta description, Open Graph, and Twitter card fields using a small mu-plugin — so Claude can fill in your full SEO setup automatically.
What you can do when the series is complete
- Write and publish full articles from a chat prompt
- Automatically set categories, tags, and featured images
- Fill in all Yoast SEO fields including OG and Twitter cards
- Manage drafts, update existing posts, and audit your content library
