Perplexity

List all posts and pages using the MCP Server.

The `list_blog_posts` tool provides a team-wide view of every published article. Developers can use this output to build consistent front-end components. You also get `list_static_pages`, so your entire engineering group always has access to foundational site content.

Perform basic WordPress content management.

Need a developer to publish new content? The `create_new_post` tool handles that. It ensures the correct API calls are used, standardizing the process across all team members. You can also run `delete_post` if an entire section of old articles needs to be removed from the site.

Audit user and category data via MCP Server.

To enforce security standards, use `list_site_users` to check who has access. This information is crucial for team-wide audits. Similarly, `list_blog_categories` ensures every developer works with the current, approved list of content classifications.
