What is Claude Cowork?

Claude Cowork is Anthropic's agent for general knowledge work. It can use your computer, files, and connected applications to complete longer-running tasks across your work tools.

With Composio Connect, Cowork can securely access apps like WordPress.com through MCP without you sharing account credentials directly with the agent.

What is the WordPress.com MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The WordPress.com MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your WordPress.com account. It provides structured and secure access to your sites, posts, pages, drafts, media, comments, statistics, and Reader subscriptions, so your agent can review sites, find content, manage draft posts, explore site resources, and gather writing ideas on your behalf.

  • Draft post management: Have your agent create, revise, review, or permanently delete draft posts while keeping unpublished work private.
  • Content discovery and review: Instruct your agent to search posts and pages, read editable content, check publication status, or browse posts from a site.
  • Site overview and traffic insights: Let the agent summarize your site's identity, plan, settings, capabilities, and recent traffic information.
  • Media, comments, and taxonomy review: Direct your agent to list media, comments, categories, tags, or site users when planning and organizing content.
  • Writing prompts and Reader subscriptions: Have your agent find relevant WordPress.com blogging prompts or review the sites and feeds followed by your account.
