How to Use the MainWP MCP in Cursor
Use Cursor to manage your WordPress infrastructure. Execute updates and security scans directly inside your code editor.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect MainWP MCP to Cursor
Create your Vinkius account to connect MainWP to Cursor and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Code-Integrated Site Tracking
List your sites and plugins while you write code. `list_child_sites` and `list_site_plugins` provide the context you need to debug site-specific issues. Cursor lets the AI see your WordPress environment. You write better code when you know exactly which plugins are active on the target site.
Actionable Security Audits
Invoke `scan_network_malware` directly from your chat window. This MCP Server finds issues that you can then address in your codebase. Your agent parses the scan results for you. You spend less time hunting for errors and more time fixing the underlying vulnerabilities.
Automated Deployment Tools
Update your sites using `upgrade_site_resource` without leaving your IDE. This tool allows you to push plugin changes to your network via the MainWP REST API. Cursor executes these updates as part of your workflow. It keeps your sites current without forcing you to switch windows.
