WordPress MCP with Cursor AI
Want to connect Cursor AI directly to your WordPress website? In this step-by-step tutorial, I’ll show you exactly how to set up WordPress MCP (Model Context Protocol) with Cursor AI so you can create blog posts, analyze SEO, manage comments, and even build Elementor page layouts all without ever leaving your AI agent.
We’ll walk through downloading and installing the MCP Adapter and WordPress MCP plugins from GitHub, configuring the abilities you want to give your AI agent (posts, pages, taxonomy, comments, media, users, and more), generating a WordPress application password, and connecting everything to Cursor AI using the config file.
By the end of this video, you’ll be able to prompt Cursor AI to write and publish SEO-optimized blog posts straight to your WordPress site, analyze existing content, and even generate Elementor layouts automatically.
