Local WP MCP Server

🎯 What if your AI assistant could actually SEE your WordPress database? A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that gives AI assistants like Claude and Cursor direct, read-only access to your Local by Flywheel WordPress database. No more guessing table structures. No more writing SQL queries blind. Your AI can now understand your actual data. Its README documents 4 tools, including mysql_query, mysql_schema, mysql_current_site.

People connecting database tools to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in TypeScript.

Set SITE_NAME, SITE_ID, MYSQL_DB, MYSQL_HOST, MYSQL_PORT, MYSQL_USER, MYSQL_PASS, MYSQL_SOCKET_PATH before connecting.

Claude Code

claude mcp add verygoodplugins-mcp-local-wp -- npx -y @verygoodplugins/mcp-local-wp

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "verygoodplugins-mcp-local-wp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@verygoodplugins/mcp-local-wp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.

Using another client? Same JSON, different key

registry namespace io.github.verygoodplugins is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner
