Manual setup 39 tools

Overview

Manage posts, pages, media, users, and taxonomies on self-hosted WordPress sites via the REST API.

Prerequisites

  • One or more self-hosted WordPress sites (WordPress.com is not supported)
  • WordPress 5.6+ with Application Passwords enabled
  • A stackgate.ai account

Getting credentials

For each WordPress site:

  1. In WordPress admin, go to Users → Profile (or the target user).
  2. Scroll to Application Passwords, enter a label (e.g. "stackgate.ai"), and click Add New Application Password.
  3. Copy the generated password immediately — it is shown only once.
  4. In stackgate.ai, open Integrations → WordPress.
  5. Click Activate and add the site URL, username, and application password.
  6. stackgate.ai verifies the connection before saving.

You can add multiple sites after the initial connect.

Using with AI clients

  • Dedicated endpoint: POST /mcp/wordpress
  • Private gateway: wordpress__* tools (pass site slug to target a connected site)

upload_media accepts file_id from Temp Storage (from create_file or email/gmail download with store_in_temp_storage=true) as an alternative to source_url or file_base64.

Troubleshooting

  • REST API disabled — ensure permalinks are not "plain" and security plugins allow /wp-json/.
  • 401 on connect — regenerate the application password; usernames are case-sensitive.
  • Wrong site — use the site slug from list_sites when calling other tools.
