mumcp Setup

Welcome. This skill walks you through connecting Claude Code to your WordPress site for the first time. $ARGUMENTS = site URL (optional, skips step 1).

Run through the steps below in order. Each one takes about 30 seconds.

---

Step 1 — Install the WordPress Plugin

If mumcp is not yet installed on your site, install it now.

Option A — WP-CLI:

wp plugin install https://mumega.com/mcp-updates/mumega-mcp-latest.zip --activate

Option B — WP Admin:

1. Download from https://mucp.mumega.com
2. Go to WP Admin > Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin
3. Upload the zip and click Activate

Option C — WP-CLI (Docker):

docker exec <container> wp plugin install https://mumega.com/mcp-updates/mumega-mcp-latest.zip --activate --allow-root

Confirm it's running: visit https://YOUR-SITE.com/wp-json/site-pilot-ai/v1/site-info — you should get a JSON response.

---

Step 2 — Generate an API Key

In WP Admin, go to mumcp > Settings and click Generate API Key.

Copy the key — it starts with spai_ and looks like:

spai_a1b2c3d4e5f6...

Choose a role for the key based on what you need:

Role	Tools	Best for
admin	All 239	Full site management
designer	~82	Page building only
editor	~99	Content + design
author	~40	Content writing only

For most use cases, start with admin — you can create restricted keys later with wp_create_api_key().

---

Step 3 — Configure Your MCP Client

Take your site URL and API key from Step 2, then add the MCP server config.

Claude Code — add to ~/.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 instead — create .mcp.json in your project root with the same JSON.

Claude Desktop — same JSON, saved to:

• Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
• Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

Cursor / Windsurf — use /mumcp:connect for client-specific instructions.

After saving, restart Claude Code (or run /reload-plugins if already running).

---

Step 4 — Test the Connection

Call:

wp_introspect()

A successful response includes:

• Site name, URL, and WordPress version
• Elementor status and layout mode
• List of available tool categories
• Recommended next actions

If you get an error, check the troubleshooting section in /mumcp:connect.

---

Step 5 — You're Connected

Here's what you can do now:

Task	How
Build a new page	"Build a landing page with a hero, 3 feature cards, and a CTA"
Edit an existing page	wp_get_elementor_summary(id=PAGE_ID) then describe what to change
Browse all tools	/mumcp:tools
Elementor reference	/mumcp:elementor
Design guide	/mumcp:design
Check plugin status	/mumcp:status
Build a full page (agent)	use wp-builder

---

Quick Config Generator

If you have your site URL and API key ready, here is the complete config block to copy:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mumcp": {
      "url": "https://REPLACE_WITH_YOUR_SITE/wp-json/site-pilot-ai/v1/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "X-API-Key": "REPLACE_WITH_YOUR_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Replace both values and paste into your client config file.
