Web hosting platform WordPress.com will now allow AI agents to draft, edit, and publish content on customers' websites. The company announced the update on March 20th, expanding its existing Model Context Protocol (MCP) integration from read-only access to full write capabilities.
WordPress first introduced MCP support in October 2025, giving AI assistants visibility into a site's content, settings, and analytics. That capability was read-only. Friday's update changes that, letting agents create posts, build pages, manage comments, restructure categories and tags, and fix media metadata, all through natural language commands.
The update adds 19 new operations across six content types. A user can instruct an agent to publish a post as a draft, assign categories and tags, and generate a meta description in a single prompt. Agents can also build landing pages and About pages, approve and reply to comments, and audit a media library for missing alt text.
