Building a WordPress MCP server for Claude

efitz

Claude, please create an image of a man looking down at a fresh grave on a bleak overcast autumn day, in the style of a political cartoon. On the headstone is the epitaph “Blogosphere, killed by LLMs”.

Take this image and post it on my blog with an appropriate title.

Can I tell my llm to read your llms blogpost and email me a summary?

xnx

> I can now ask Claude to research a topic, write a well-structured blog post with proper HTML formatting, categorise it appropriately, and publish it directly to my blog—all in a single conversation.

The blog post will contain no more useful information than was in the original prompt. Post that instead of some cached/point-in-time output.

When they titled this, did they think “what concept will HN dislike the most?“? :)

(Excuse snark; commenting on fact we prob appreciate human-published content)

Knowing that Claude is doing the heavy lifting, why would I want to read your blog vs asking Claude?

"just let me read the prompt, not the output" attitude should become more common

You don't

imagine building a whole MCP server to automate copy-paste from ChatGPT window into Wordpress editor and clicking Submit button

Admittedly that would take about twenty minutes with Claude to build it.

MCP presents/serves tools.

How much further to peak Enshitification?

Oh there’s a way down to go yet… a long way to go.

Writing a blog post about how to completely remove the soul from posting on blogs is certainty a thing.

I assume he didn’t write this blog post.
