Run SEOBetter from your AI assistant.

Cursor

Add this to .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json for every project. Replace BASE64(...) with the Base64 encoding of your WordPress username, a colon, and the Application Password.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "seobetter": {
      "url": "https://YOUR-SITE.com/wp-json/mcp/mcp-adapter-default-server",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Basic BASE64(username:application-password)" }
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop

Claude Desktop starts local programs, so it connects through the MCP Adapter's proxy, which needs Node.js. Add this to claude_desktop_config.json (Settings, Developer, Edit Config) and restart the app.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "seobetter": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@automattic/mcp-wordpress-remote@latest"],
      "env": {
        "WP_API_URL": "https://YOUR-SITE.com/wp-json/mcp/mcp-adapter-default-server",
        "WP_API_USERNAME": "your-username",
        "WP_API_PASSWORD": "your-application-password"
      }
    }
  }
}

Other assistants

Any assistant that supports remote MCP servers with HTTP Basic authentication works: give it the endpoint URL and an Authorization: Basic header made from your username and Application Password. Assistants that only start local programs can use the proxy shown for Claude Desktop.
