What is the MainWP MCP Server?
Connect your MainWP Dashboard to any AI agent to automate your WordPress network management. This MCP server enables your agent to list child sites, monitor pending updates for core, plugins, and themes, and trigger security scans directly from natural language interfaces.
What you can do
- Network Oversight — List all managed child sites and retrieve real-time status and update counts
- Update Management — Query all pending WordPress core, plugin, and theme upgrades across your entire network
- Automated Sync — Trigger a global synchronization to fetch the latest data from all connected sites instantly
- Security Auditing — Initiate vulnerability scans and malware checks using configured MainWP extensions
- Inventory Control — List all plugins and themes installed on any specific child site for auditing
- One-Click Upgrades — Execute resource upgrades programmatically to maintain network-wide security
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your MainWP Dashboard URL and REST API Bearer Token
- Ensure 'Pretty Permalinks' are enabled on your WordPress dashboard
- Start managing your WordPress network from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Who is this for?
- WordPress Agency Owners — Monitor client site health and pending updates via simple natural language commands
- DevOps Engineers — Automate the synchronization and security scanning of large WordPress networks
- Site Administrators — Quickly audit plugin inventories and execute updates without leaving your dev tools

Why CrewAI?
When paired with CrewAI, MainWP becomes a first-class tool in your multi-agent workflows. Each agent in the crew can call MainWP tools autonomously, one agent queries data, another analyzes results, a third compiles reports, all orchestrated through Vinkius with zero configuration overhead.
- —
Multi-agent collaboration lets you decompose complex workflows into specialized roles, one agent researches, another analyzes, a third generates reports, each with access to MCP tools
- —
CrewAI's native MCP integration requires zero adapter code: pass Vinkius Edge URL directly in the
mcpsparameter and agents auto-discover every available tool at runtime - —
Built-in task delegation and shared memory mean agents can pass context between steps without manual state management, enabling multi-hop reasoning across tool calls
- —
Sequential and hierarchical crew patterns map naturally to real-world workflows: enumerate subdomains → analyze DNS history → check WHOIS records → compile findings into actionable reports

Frequently asked questions
Why is the API returning a 404 error?
You must enable 'Pretty Permalinks' in your WordPress Dashboard (Settings > Permalinks). The REST API will not function with the 'Plain' setting.
How do I find my API Token?
In your MainWP Dashboard, navigate to Settings > REST API and create a new API Key with 'Write' permissions. Your token is encrypted at rest and injected securely at runtime.
Can I update plugins across all sites?
Yes, the upgrade_site_resource tool can target specific resources across the entire network by providing the necessary parameters in the JSON body.
How does CrewAI discover and connect to MCP tools?
CrewAI connects to MCP servers lazily. when the crew starts, each agent resolves its MCP URLs and fetches the tool catalog via the standard tools/list method. This means tools are always fresh and reflect the server's current capabilities. No tool schemas need to be hardcoded.
Can different agents in the same crew use different MCP servers?
Yes. Each agent has its own mcps list, so you can assign specific servers to specific roles. For example, a reconnaissance agent might use a domain intelligence server while an analysis agent uses a vulnerability database server.
What happens when an MCP tool call fails during a crew run?
CrewAI wraps tool failures as context for the agent. The LLM receives the error message and can decide to retry with different parameters, fall back to a different tool, or mark the task as partially complete. This resilience is critical for production workflows.
Can CrewAI agents call multiple MCP tools in parallel?
CrewAI agents execute tool calls sequentially within a single reasoning step. However, you can run multiple agents in parallel using process=Process.parallel, each calling different MCP tools concurrently. This is ideal for workflows where separate data sources need to be queried simultaneously.
Can I run CrewAI crews on a schedule (cron)?
Yes. CrewAI crews are standard Python scripts, so you can invoke them via cron, Airflow, Celery, or any task scheduler. The crew.kickoff() method runs synchronously by default, making it straightforward to integrate into existing pipelines.
MCP tools not discovered
Ensure the Edge URL is correct. CrewAI connects lazily when the crew starts. check console output.
Agent not using tools
Make the task description specific. Instead of "do something", say "Use the available tools to list contacts".
Timeout errors
CrewAI has a 10s connection timeout by default. Ensure your network can reach the Edge URL.
Rate limiting or 429 errors
Vinkius enforces per-token rate limits. Check your subscription tier and request quota in the dashboard. Upgrade if you need higher throughput.
