Automattic has announced the integration of AI-powered writing capabilities into WordPress.com, through its MCP (Managed Content Platform) integration.

Functionality

This new feature allows AI agents like Claude and ChatGPT to interact directly with WordPress.com sites, automating various tasks:

  • Creation of new posts and pages.
  • Comment management.
  • Restructuring of existing content.

The system includes a workflow that requires human approval for each change, ensuring control over published content.

Implementation

The ability to connect an AI agent to a WordPress.com site has been available for about six months, but was initially limited to reading content only. The update introduces writing capabilities, significantly expanding the possibilities for automation in website management.
