Perplexity

List all blog posts and static pages via MCP Server.

Use `list_blog_posts` to get a full list of current articles on the site. This lets you quickly see what content exists before writing anything. You can also call `list_static_pages` when you need to check for landing pages or 'About Us' sections that aren't part of the main blog feed.

Create and modify site content.

The `create_new_post` tool lets your AI client write and publish a new article directly. It handles the basic structure, so you just need to approve the final text. You can also manage existing content by calling `get_post_details` when you need specific data from an established post.

Identify site structure and user roles.

To map out the whole site, run `list_blog_categories` to see every section available. This is crucial for building navigation. Furthermore, you can use `list_site_users` to get a roster of who has access to the WordPress backend.
