What can this WordPress MCP server change?
WPGuard supports selected content, settings and field edits. Name the page or stored value, inspect its current state, and preview the exact change before applying it.
Fix the link, keep the answer
Replace a specific broken link in stored post content. Review the matching text and proposed replacement before applying it.
Find the field before changing it
Inspect the site, its active plugins, options and post metadata. Identify the actual value behind the requested change.
Show what changed
Review the saved prior value and change record. Then run WPGuard’s desktop and mobile render check and keep the screenshot receipt.
Protect the requirements you already settled.
Correction rules are explicit and scoped. They check supported edits before writing; they do not automatically turn every chat message into site policy.
Keep the required wording
Turn a specific requirement into a check for a named site and field. Supported edits are checked against active rules before they write.
Keep exceptions where they belong
A rule for one page stays on that page. A client preference does not become a rule for every site you manage.
See why a check exists
Keep the originating correction alongside the rule. Review, test, or retire it when the requirement changes.
Bring your own history
Keep a private record of requests and corrections so your assistant can retrieve earlier work for the right client.
Choose the connection your site supports.
Use SSH with WP-CLI, or install the companion plugin for its supported HTTPS operations.
SSH + WP-CLI
Use a host you operate and a WordPress path you have verified. Raw PHP execution is a separate privileged operation.
Companion plugin
Install the PHP companion and configure its shared secret. It exposes an allowlist of WordPress operations for sites where SSH is unavailable; keep its key private.
