MCP Connection Reference

Quick reference for connecting different MCP clients to a mumcp-enabled WordPress site. $ARGUMENTS = client name or site URL + API key.

First time? Run /mumcp:setup instead — it walks you through everything interactively.

Config Template

Replace YOUR-SITE.com and spai_YOUR_KEY in every config below.

Claude Code

Global (~/.claude/settings.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mumcp": {
      "url": "https://YOUR-SITE.com/wp-json/site-pilot-ai/v1/mcp",
      "headers": {"X-API-Key": "spai_YOUR_KEY"}
    }
  }
}

Per-project (.mcp.json in project root):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mumcp": {
      "url": "https://YOUR-SITE.com/wp-json/site-pilot-ai/v1/mcp",
      "headers": {"X-API-Key": "spai_YOUR_KEY"}
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop

Edit ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (Mac) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mumcp": {
      "url": "https://YOUR-SITE.com/wp-json/site-pilot-ai/v1/mcp",
      "headers": {"X-API-Key": "spai_YOUR_KEY"}
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop after saving.

Cursor

Settings > MCP Servers > Add:

• Name: mumcp

Windsurf

Settings > MCP > Add Server:

Multiple Sites

Use a unique name per site in mcpServers:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mumcp-staging": {
      "url": "https://staging.example.com/wp-json/site-pilot-ai/v1/mcp",
      "headers": {"X-API-Key": "spai_STAGING_KEY"}
    },
    "mumcp-prod": {
      "url": "https://example.com/wp-json/site-pilot-ai/v1/mcp",
      "headers": {"X-API-Key": "spai_PROD_KEY"}
    }
  }
}

Verify Connection

After saving config, call wp_introspect() — returns site info, available tools, and capabilities.
