Get Up and Running in 5 Minutes
Master Control Press is designed to be incredibly simple. If you can describe what you want in plain English, you can automate WordPress.
Step 1: Connect Your WordPress Sites
Install the Master Control Press plugin on any WordPress site you want to manage. The plugin creates a secure MCP server that connects to AI systems.
Curious how that connection works under the hood? See our guide to the WordPress MCP Adapter, which turns your site’s abilities into tools any AI agent can use.
- Download the plugin from your account dashboard
- Install via WordPress admin or upload via FTP
- Activate and enter your API key
- Site appears in your MCP dashboard automatically
Step 2: Configure Your AI Assistant
Master Control Press works with Claude, ChatGPT, and other MCP-compatible AI systems. We recommend Claude for the best experience.
- Open Claude Desktop or your preferred AI assistant
- Add Master Control Press as an MCP server
- Authenticate using your account credentials
- Your WordPress sites are now accessible via natural language
Step 3: Start Automating
Simply describe what you want to accomplish. Master Control Press handles the rest.
