Perplexity

Write new WordPress posts with minimal input.

Need to dump some initial content? You run `create_cms_post`, supplying just the title, body text, and whether it should start as a draft or published piece. Cline handles the API call, letting you treat the CMS like local data.

Model and update existing WordPress content.

If the post needs tweaking after deployment, use `update_cms_post`. You provide the ID and a JSON payload defining the fields. This means you're not just listing things; you're modifying them in place.

Audit site structure using WordPress tools.

You can quickly map out what exists on your site. Cline uses `list_site_categories` to pull all defined taxonomies, and it runs through tags with `list_site_tags`. This data lets you build accurate frontend components.
