How to Use the WordPress MCP in Cursor

Q: How do I list blog categories using WordPress and Cursor?

You trigger the listblogcategories tool. The agent receives this data and lets you use it immediately when writing out code that structures navigation menus.

Q: What tools can I use in Cursor to manage my WordPress site content?

You have access to listblogposts, which lists all posts. You also get createnewpost for generating new articles and deletepost if you need to clean up old entries.

Q: Can Cursor help me pull site user data from WordPress?

Yes, use the listsiteusers tool. This fetches all current user accounts on your WordPress installation so you can write scripts that validate permissions or roles.

Q: Does this MCP Server support getting post details for WordPress and Cursor?

Absolutely. The getpostdetails function allows the agent to retrieve granular information—like the content body and slug—for any single post on your WordPress site.

Q: If I need to list all pages from WordPress and Cursor, what tool should I use?

Start with liststaticpages. It is specifically designed to retrieve the metadata for permanent, non-blog content across your entire WordPress site.

Write code that uses live WordPress data directly in Cursor’s agent mode.

Perplexity

Use the MCP Server to read post details.

Start by running `get_post_details`. This gives you the specific text and metadata for one article, which you can then inject directly into your code block. You'll find this useful when writing scripts that need to validate content against an existing WordPress entry.

Manage site structure with MCP Server tools.

Call `list_blog_categories` first. This provides the list of categories you should reference in your front-end code. You can pair this up with `list_static_pages` to ensure your component handles both dynamic blog content and fixed site pages.

Create new WordPress content via Cursor.

When you write a function that needs to publish an article, use the `create_new_post` tool. The AI agent will call this API, getting real data back into your code. Don't forget that you can also run `list_site_users` if your script needs to know who is logged in.

Open MCP Settings

Go to Cursor Settings → MCP or open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P) and search for "MCP: Add Server".
