| Thousands of you connected your favorite AI tools, asked questions about your sites, and saved hours of dashboard diving. | | But you told us you wanted more. Reading your site data was useful, but you wanted your agent to be able to actually do things for you! | | That's why we added write capabilities, turning your AI agent into your most versatile WordPress collaborator. | | With write capabilities, your AI agent can now: | - Draft and publish blog posts: Provide copy or describe what you want to publish, and your AI agent can create the post directly on your site.
- Build and update pages: Create landing pages, About pages, and more, complete with your site's design specs and block patterns.
- Manage comments: Approve, reply to, or clean up comments without ever opening your dashboard.
- Organize your content: Create, rename, and restructure categories and tags across your site.
- Update media metadata: Fix alt text, captions, and titles for better accessibility and SEO.
| And all of this happens through natural conversation. Just tell your AI agent what you want to do, and it handles the rest. | 19 new abilities, the same interface | | These new capabilities add 19 new writing abilities across six content types: posts, pages, comments, categories, tags, and media. Besides enabling the new tools in your WordPress.com MCP dashboard, there's nothing new to install to get started. | | Here's a taste of what you can do with your AI agent: | - "I just finished writing this post. Publish it as a draft, categorize it as 'Travel,' add relevant tags, and write me a meta description under 160 characters."
- "I want to start publishing recipes on my blog. Set up a 'Recipes' category with subcategories for Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, and Desserts."
- "Create an About page with sections for our team, mission, and contact info."
- "I want to add a testimonials section to my About page. Find a pattern in my theme that works for that and set it up as a draft — I'll supply the actual quotes."
- "Approve all the pending comments on my latest post and reply to the one asking about pricing."
- "Add a 'Tutorials' category under 'Resources' and tag my latest three posts with 'Beginner.'"
- "Audit my website for Accessibility and create a report."
- "Find all images in my media library that are missing alt text and suggest some based on the filename or attachment context."
| Your AI agent discovers the available operations, figures out what's needed, and walks you through the process — confirming every step before making changes. | | One of the most powerful aspects of the write capabilities is the integration with your site's theme. Before creating content, your AI agent can search your theme's design and understand its colors, fonts, spacing, and block patterns. | | This results in outputs that inherits your site's design system and adapts automatically when you change themes. | | We know that giving an AI agent the ability to modify your site is a big step. That's why we've built this with multiple layers of protection: | | Every change requires your approval. Before creating, updating, or deleting anything, your AI agent describes exactly what it plans to do and asks for your explicit confirmation. Nothing happens without approval from you. | | New posts default to drafts. When your AI agent creates a post or page, it starts as a draft, giving you a chance to review before anything goes live. If you update a published post, your agent warns you that changes will be visible immediately. | | Deletion is reversible (where possible). Deleting posts, pages, comments, or media moves them to the trash, where they're recoverable for 30 days. For categories and tags — which WordPress doesn't support trashing — your agent explicitly warns that deletion is permanent and requires additional confirmation. | | All changes are visible through your Activity Log. See all of your AI agent's activity in your site's dashboard (or just ask your AI agent for a list of changes it has made). | | WordPress permissions are enforced. The write capabilities respect the same user role permissions as the rest of WordPress.com. An Editor can create and edit posts, but can't change site settings. A Contributor can draft posts but can't publish. Your existing access controls are automatically carried over. | | You choose what's enabled. Every operation, from creating posts to updating media, has its own toggle in your MCP settings. Enable only what you need on the sites you need it, and leave everything else off. | | When we launched MCP on WordPress.com, we said that understanding your site shouldn't mean piecing together insights from half a dozen places. Now, managing your site shouldn't mean it either. | | Your AI agent is ready. What will you create? | | | | |
