Perplexity

Create and modify content records for the team.

Use `create_cms_post` to generate new posts that are automatically managed by the team. You define the title, body, and initial status—it's all part of your shared workflow. You can update any existing post using `update_cms_post`. This is great for making bulk changes because you pass a JSON object with only the fields that need updating.

List site assets and metadata quickly.

The team needs to know what's available? Call `list_site_categories` or `list_site_tags` to get all defined taxonomies. This data feeds directly into your shared code base. For listing posts, use `list_site_posts`. The tool supports standard WP query parameters, making it easy for every developer on the team to filter results consistently.

Manage users and media library access.

You can pull a roster of all site members using `list_site_users`. This helps enforce role-based security when writing code. If you need background context, `get_post_details` retrieves everything about one specific post. Accessing images and documents is simple with `list_media_attachments`, giving your team the full index of media files available on WordPress.
