Shilpi MCP server
Connect Claude, ChatGPT or any MCP-capable agent to a WordPress site running the Shilpi theme, and let it build and edit that site through scoped abilities rather than server access.
This repository holds the public interface: the registry manifest, the tool list, the authentication guide and example client configurations. The server itself ships inside the Shilpi theme and runs on your own WordPress install, so there is no service to sign up for and no third party sits between the agent and your site.

Why this exists
Most WordPress page builders store a layout in their own format. An agent asked to edit such a page has to learn a proprietary widget tree, guess at its invariants and hope the vendor does not change them.
Shilpi stores a page as three plain fields: body HTML, a real stylesheet, and focused JavaScript. An agent editing a Shilpi page is editing markup it already understands. What it needs from the site is not raw access but vocabulary: which global classes exist, which design variables are defined, and what the house rules are. That is what these tools provide.
Endpoints
The server runs on your own site. Replace example.com with your domain.
| Purpose | URL |
|---|---|
| Streamable HTTP, OAuth | https://example.com/wp-json/mcp/shilpi-oauth |
| Streamable HTTP, application password | https://example.com/wp-json/shilpi/v1/mcp |
| OAuth protected-resource metadata | https://example.com/wp-json/shilpi/v1/oauth/protected-resource |
| Site summary for agents | https://example.com/llms.txt |
Both endpoints require an active licence. Without one they return 404, and no credential will authenticate. Switching the server off in Shilpi → Dashboard → Connect an AI agent removes both endpoints, which makes it a genuine kill switch rather than a setting.
Requirements
- WordPress 6.4 or newer
- PHP 8.0 or newer
- HTTPS, required for OAuth
- The Shilpi theme, active, with a valid licence
Getting connected
See docs/authentication.md for the OAuth flow and the application-password fallback, and examples/ for ready-to-paste client configuration.
Abilities
Every tool is scoped. There is no filesystem access, no SSH, and no route to
wp-config.php or to theme and plugin files. Writing PHP snippets is a
temporary permission the site owner grants at Shilpi → Security and revokes
in one click.
The list below is generated from a live install running Shilpi 1.9.4. Counts change between releases, and the WooCommerce Kit plugin adds its own tools when it is active.

What the server cannot do
This is the part worth reading before you connect anything.
- No filesystem access. It cannot read or write theme or plugin files.
- No shell, no SSH, no
wp-config.php. - No customers, orders, addresses or payment data through the WooCommerce tools.
- Writing PHP is off by default and is a permission with an off switch, not a setting you enable and forget.
- Uploading JavaScript requires an account with
unfiltered_html.
