Safe by default
Secure, on your own server
- Application Passwords. Auth uses native WordPress Application Passwords — one-time, revocable in a click.
- Per-request access control. Every MCP request is checked; disallowed users get access-denied even with a saved config.
- You choose the tools. Only the abilities you expose are callable by agents.
- Local STDIO mode. Launch WP-CLI as a subprocess — no credentials cross the network.
- Connection log & tracker. Approved, successful and failed attempts are recorded per server.
- Your data stays home. Everything runs inside your own WordPress install.

What is MCP Manager?
A free WordPress plugin that runs a built-in Model Context Protocol server, so AI clients can securely discover and call the abilities you approve.
Which clients can connect?
Claude Desktop, Claude Code, VS Code, GitHub Copilot, Codex, Cursor, and any custom MCP client — over HTTP, STDIO (WP-CLI), or the npm/npx CLI flow.
How does authentication work?
Connections use WordPress Application Passwords, generated per client and shown once. Access Control still applies to every request.
How does it relate to Abilities Manager?
Abilities Manager governs the abilities; MCP Manager exposes the approved ones to your AI clients. Use them together.
Is it really free?
Yes — MCP Manager is a free host plugin on WordPress.org and works standalone.
