How to Use the WordPress MCP in LlamaIndex

Q: How do I search for old WordPress articles using LlamaIndex?

You index the content by running listsiteposts. The resulting data is stored in a vector database, allowing you to query past article bodies or titles semantically later on.

Q: What if I use LlamaIndex to update WordPress post details?

You first retrieve the current post via getpostdetails, then run the update using updatecmspost. The result of this action can be indexed, letting you verify changes later.

Q: Can LlamaIndex track which WordPress users are involved?

Yes. Running listsiteusers populates the index with user names and roles. This data point is searchable, so you can answer questions like 'Who wrote the article about X?'

Q: Does LlamaIndex handle media attached to WordPress posts?

Absolutely. By running listmediaattachments, you get a list of all files that become part of your index. You can then query based on the content or type of those assets.

Indexing Site Content for LlamaIndex

LlamaIndex uses this server's data to build a persistent, searchable index. You can run `list_site_posts` and include the resulting post titles and bodies in your knowledge base. The system doesn't just read; it indexes. Later queries will retrieve answers grounded in actual site content, not hallucinations.

Tracking WordPress Media for LlamaIndex

When you run `list_media_attachments`, the resulting file list is indexed alongside your documents. This means if a user asks about 'the logo from Q3,' the answer will reference the specific media asset ID. This makes connecting unstructured text data to structured assets much easier.

Managing Site Structure with LlamaIndex

Need context on site organization? The tools `list_site_categories` and `list_static_pages` allow the indexer to map out the entire structure. This structured data becomes searchable, helping users find related topics quickly. It's like having a searchable sitemap that feeds into your AI query.
