Understand MCP, OAuth and WordPress REST tools, then set up a hosted WordPress MCP connection.
MCP describes tools that an AI client can discover and call. Studio advertises site listing, status, REST route discovery, reads and writes. OAuth binds those calls to a Studio account; WordPress credentials bind the target request to a WordPress user.
The hosted Studio companion uses the Studio service endpoint, so customers do not deploy a Node application. Their WordPress site still needs HTTPS and plugin support. The separate direct plugin path serves OAuth on WordPress and is a different installation route.
Check three separate results: WordPress credential verification, client OAuth authorization, and a successful authenticated tool response from the client. A connected icon alone does not demonstrate that a particular REST operation is allowed.
Explore WPBridge Studio, follow the installation guide, then compare packages. Start free and confirm site identity before making changes.
