What is MagicWP MCP?
MagicWP connects Claude Code to MagicWP hosting to manage WordPress sites, run updates, handle backups, and monitor site health.
Summary generated from the project's README
About MagicWP MCP server
Managing WordPress environments directly from your terminal is possible by connecting Claude Code to MagicWP hosting. This setup allows you to create new sites, perform updates, manage backups, and monitor site health using natural language commands. The plugin acts as a bridge to a remote MCP server that provides approximately 60 tools covering domains, caching, PHP, Cloudflare, and email management.
To use this, you install the plugin via the Claude Code marketplace and authenticate through your browser. You can choose between full access or read-only permissions when approving the connection. The system requires a MagicWP plan with MCP access and two-factor authentication enabled on your account. For security, destructive actions like restoring or deleting require you to manually type the site domain, and all actions are logged in your MagicWP Activity log with an MCP label.
What you can do with it
- 1Provisioning new WordPress sitesAsk the AI to build a new website in a specific location and notify you when the process completes.
- 2Auditing site maintenance needsRequest a summary of which websites require software updates or are missing recent backups.
- 3Recovering from site errorsInstruct the client to revert a specific domain to a previous backup state.

View on GitHubMagicWP plugin for Claude Code
Manage your MagicWP WordPress sites from Claude Code: create sites, run updates, take and restore backups, check what's up and what needs attention, in plain words.
This repository holds only the Claude Code plugin: a marketplace file, the connection to MagicWP's hosted MCP server and a few skills. It does not contain the MCP server or any other MagicWP code.
Install
claude plugin marketplace add magicwpio/mcp
claude plugin install magicwp@magicwp
Start Claude Code and run /mcp. Pick magicwp and choose Authenticate. Your browser opens MagicWP: sign in, pick the workspace, choose Full access or Read-only, and approve. That's it: no API token to copy, and nothing secret is stored in this plugin.
Your MagicWP plan needs MCP access, and connecting an app needs two-factor authentication on your account.
What you get
- The MagicWP MCP server at
https://mcp.magicwp.io/mcp: about 60 tools for sites, backups, updates, staging, domains, caching, PHP, Cloudflare, email and more. A read-only connection only sees the tools that look. - Skills Claude uses when they fit:
create-site: creates a site and waits for its build to finish before calling it ready.destructive-actions: what to check and say before deleting, restoring, resetting or overwriting anything.health-report: a read-only report across all your sites: up or down, updates, backups, versions, disk.
Ask things like:
- "Create a site called Bakery in Frankfurt and tell me when it's ready."
- "Which of my sites need updates or haven't been backed up this week?"
- "Restore shop.example.com to yesterday's backup."
Safety
- Destructive actions need you to type the site's domain. Claude can't fill it in for you.
- Claude can do no more than your role in the workspace allows.
- Everything it does shows in your MagicWP Activity log, marked "via MCP".
- Disconnect any time in the MagicWP dashboard under MCP → Connected apps. A connection that isn't used for 90 days ends by itself.

- Using Claude or ChatGPT on the web instead: add

Is it safe to perform destructive actions via Claude?
Yes, destructive actions require you to manually type the site's domain, and all actions are logged in your MagicWP Activity log.
