Cursor / Windsurf

Cursor

Add to .cursor/mcp.json in your project root (or ~/.cursor/mcp.json for global):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "my-site": {
      "url": "https://YOUR-SITE.com/wp-json/mcpwp/v1/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "X-API-Key": "mcpwp_YOUR_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Restart Cursor. The MCPWP tools appear in Agent mode.

Windsurf

Add to .windsurf/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "my-site": {
      "url": "https://YOUR-SITE.com/wp-json/mcpwp/v1/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "X-API-Key": "mcpwp_YOUR_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Both configs use header-based auth (X-API-Key) — the key stays out of the URL, which is the more secure connect method available today.

First call

Once connected, call wp_introspect first for a machine-readable view of available tools, then wp_onboard for a full site briefing.
