wordpress-mcp-dev

wordpress-mcp-dev is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from respira-press/agent-skills-wordpress. It costs 72 tokens per session (372 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Guidance for building WordPress plugins, MCP servers, or products that combine both. WordPress is a website platform, while an MCP server lets AI tools use defined actions and data.

In plain words
What is it for?
It supports plugin REST endpoints, Gutenberg and page-builder integrations, MCP tools using TypeScript or Python, authentication, input validation, licensing, updates, and safe error handling.
Why use it?
It helps developers choose a structure, add security checks, and build a small working feature before expanding the product.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

wordpress-mcp-dev scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

WordPress + MCP Development

Use this skill to ship production-grade WordPress plugins, MCP servers, or both together.

Workflow

  1. Identify target product shape: plugin, mcp-server, or hybrid.
  2. Choose architecture and scaffold from the relevant reference.
  3. Implement minimum viable vertical slice first:
    • Plugin: one secure REST route + one real feature path.
    • MCP: one read-only tool + one mutating tool with safe validation.
    • Hybrid: one plugin endpoint consumed by one MCP tool.
  4. Add safety controls before expanding scope: capability checks, nonce/auth, sanitized errors, and rollback strategy.
  5. Validate against checklists before release.

Guardrails

  • Keep plugin bootstrap thin; place behavior in namespaced classes.
  • Prefix all plugin symbols to avoid collisions.
  • Treat MCP tool schemas/descriptions as API contracts for model behavior.
  • Return actionable errors and avoid leaking secrets.
  • Prefer duplicate-first content edits for AI-assisted write operations.

References

  • Core guide: references/full-guide.md
  • WordPress plugin architecture and security sections: references/full-guide.md

Files

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
