Just tell your AI what you want.** You type what you want in plain English, and your AI does the real work inside WordPress for you – no menus to hunt through, no code to write. * 💬 **Do everything by chat** – create and edit posts and pages, run your WooCommerce shop, manage users and menus, tidy the media library, change settings, and fix errors when they crop up. * ↩️ **Undo any change** – a per-change undo journal and one-click database checkpoints let you roll back a single edit or the entire site. * 🔄 **Updates plugins & themes safely** – backup first, health check after, one- command undo if anything breaks. * 🛡️ **Safe by default** – safe mode confirms before anything destructive, you can preview any change before it runs, and every action is written to an audit log. * 🆓 **Free and open source** – every tool included, with deep WooCommerce, ACF, Elementor, and Wordfence support. No Pro tier, no subscription. * 🔒 **Your data stays yours** – self-hosted, no accounts, no phone-home. Your agent connects to your site; nothing leaves your server. * 🔌 **Works with your AI agent** – Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Codex, Gemini, and any MCP client. Set up in about two minutes. Cowboy MCP is a full MCP server inside WordPress – Claude Code, Codex, and other AI agents connect straight to your site. Ask in plain language – “publish these three drafts,” “why is the checkout page 500-ing,” “bump every Summer Sale price 20%,” “clear the cache and re-check site health” – and your agent gets it done. Most WordPress AI plugins let an assistant write blog posts. Cowboy MCP lets your agent actually _run the site_: content, yes, but also the terminal-level work you’d normally stop and do by hand – WP-CLI, files, the database, error logs, and diagnostics. When something breaks, your agent can find it and fix it instead of just apologizing. Setup guides, the full capability list, and the security model live at [cowboymcp.com](https://cowboymcp.com). #### What you can do with it * **Manage content by chat** – draft, edit, schedule, and publish posts and pages; upload media; sort categories and tags; build navigation menus. * **Run the back office** – add and edit users, change roles, and tidy the media library: find every image missing alt text and fix it in one go. Deleted media is recoverable, and the site can never be left without an administrator. * **Run your store** – update WooCommerce products, prices, orders, and inventory in bulk. * **Fix things that break** – read error logs, test emails and HTTP requests, inspect hooks and REST routes, and repair database tables. No SSH required. * **Do the developer stuff** – run WP-CLI commands, edit files in `wp-content`, and take site snapshots before big changes. * **Vibe code your site** – describe the theme tweak or feature you want; your agent writes the code, checks the error log, and fixes what it broke. With per- change undo and database checkpoints, vibe coding a live site stops being reckless. * **Get more done, faster** – your agent stays sharp and accurate even with a big toolset, so it picks the right action the first time. #### Works with Claude Code, Codex, Opencode, the Claude desktop and web apps (one-click sign-in), plus Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, Zed, VS Code, ChatGPT, Gemini, and n8n – anything that speaks MCP. ## Screenshots [⌊Connection tab - pick your AI tool (Claude Code, Claude Desktop, claude.ai, ChatGPT, Cursor, Codex, and more) and copy the ready-made setup command.

Install and activate Cowboy MCP from the Plugins screen. 2. Go to **Settings > Cowboy MCP** and click **Generate API Key** (it’s shown once– copy it). 3. Connect your agent and start giving it instructions. **Claude Code:** ``` claude mcp add --transport http your-site /wp-json/cowboy-mcp/v1/endpoint --header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" ``` **Claude desktop / web (no terminal):** enable the OAuth connector under **Settings > Cowboy MCP > Settings > Desktop Connector**, add your site as a custom connector in Claude, and approve with one click. (Requires a public HTTPS site.) Codex and other clients: see the setup guides in the plugin settings, or the connection guides at [cowboymcp.com](https://cowboymcp.com). ## FAQ ### What is MCP? The Model Context Protocol is an open standard that lets AI agents use external tools. Cowboy MCP turns your WordPress site into one of those tools, so your agent can act on it directly. ### Which AI agents work with it? Any MCP-compatible client over Streamable HTTP – including Claude Code, Codex, Opencode, the Claude desktop and web apps, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, Zed, VS Code, ChatGPT, and Gemini. ### How do I connect Claude to my WordPress site? Install Cowboy MCP, generate an API key under **Settings > Cowboy MCP**, and add your site to Claude Code with one command – shown ready to copy on the Connection tab. For the Claude desktop and web apps, enable the Desktop Connector and approve the one-click sign-in; no terminal needed. ChatGPT, Cursor, Codex, and other clients have step-by-step guides on the same tab. ### Does it work with WooCommerce? Yes. When WooCommerce is active, 40 store tools light up: products and variations, orders and refunds, coupons, customers, stock, shipping zones, tax rates, payment gateways, and sales reports – so your agent can run the store, not just describe it. ### Is it safe to use on a live site? Yes, with care. You’re handing an AI real control, so Cowboy MCP is built to keep you in charge: keys are hashed and shown once, requests are rate-limited, destructive actions need confirmation, and changes can be previewed before they run. If a change turns out wrong, you can usually undo it – or restore the database to an earlier checkpoint – from the Activity tab, and every action is written to an audit log. Review it regularly. ### Can I vibe code my WordPress site? Yes – that’s what it’s built for. Your agent can write and edit theme and plugin code in `wp-content`, run WP-CLI, and read the error log to fix what it broke. Take a database checkpoint first (or let auto-checkpoint do it), and every change lands in the undo journal – so vibe coding a live site doesn’t have to be a leap of faith. ### Does it send my data anywhere? No telemetry and no phone-home – your data stays on your server. The only outbound connections are to WordPress.org, when your agent installs or updates plugins and themes, plus any HTTP requests you explicitly ask your agent to make. ### Do I need to be a developer? No. Publishing content and running your store work through plain conversation. The developer tools (WP-CLI, files, database) are there when you want them, and gated behind safe mode until you say go. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Cowboy MCP – MCP Server with Undo for Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini & Cursor” is open source software.
