Can MCP Connectors Save WordPress?

October 27, 2026 · 56 min

Show notes

We talked with Colin Devroe, Head of AI at NerdPress, about Model Context Protocol connectors and how they change day-to-day WordPress work.

Colin put it simply: an AI only gets useful when you feed it the right information. At NerdPress that means both internal tools and Guided Agent Connector for clients, so an agent can work against a live site instead of guessing from a thin prompt.

What we covered with Colin

Katie already uses general AI against WooCommerce and her plugins without shipping dedicated MCPs. Zack pointed out that most customers have not done that learning curve. A product-specific MCP can make the useful actions obvious.

Where we land

We see the useful move as giving agents clear tools for the job the customer wants done. That is the shift we spent the hour on.
