Seen "MCP" mentioned everywhere lately and quietly wondered what it means? 🤔

Here's the plain-English version: MCP is the standard that lets an AI assistant connect to an outside system and actually use it — instead of you pasting your error log, plugin list, and post content into a chat window.

For WordPress, that means your AI can read your site itself. "Why is this throwing a 500 error?" and it checks the log. "Which plugins need updating?" and it just tells you.

Our new guide explains what an MCP server is, whether it's safe, and how to try it on your own site — no developer knowledge needed.

🚀 Sokket – MCP Server is live on WordPress.org. Free, open-source, self-hosted.

It turns your WordPress site into its own MCP server — a single endpoint that Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, or any MCP-compatible agent can connect to and actually use. No more pasting error logs and post content into a chat window.

What the connector lets AI do on your WordPress site:

☑ Content — list/read/create/update posts, pages, and any custom post type; set status (draft → publish); write excerpts. So AI can draft a full article and push it in as a draft for you to review, or edit existing content in place.
☑ Taxonomy — list taxonomies, list/create terms, assign categories and tags to posts.
☑ Media — list the library, upload images from base64, set or clear featured images. That closes the loop on your daily SMM workflow: article + featured image, straight onto the site.
☑ Comments — list, approve/unapprove/spam/trash, and reply as the connected user.
☑ Diagnostics — site info, plugin/theme inventory with update status, general/writing/reading/discussion/permalink settings, and the PHP error log tail.
☑ Search — keyword search across post/page titles and content.

The part that matters most: Sokket makes zero outbound requests. It calls no AI provider, stores no AI API keys, and has no SaaS component. Your AI client authenticates to your site — not the other way around.

Free with no limits, no account, no paid tier.

Would genuinely value feedback from anyone running it on a real site.
