What can an AI agent do with WordPress?

A WordPress AI agent can read and search your posts and pages, audit content for SEO gaps or missing metadata, draft new posts and save them for your review, update existing content, and generate editorial reports - all on a schedule or on demand. Write actions like publishing or editing always require your approval.

Does my AI agent need admin access to WordPress?

No. You can create a WordPress application password with editor-level permissions and use that to authenticate. The agent only accesses what the connected account is allowed to see.

Can my agent publish posts automatically without my review?

By default, write actions require your approval. You can configure your task to save drafts for human review before anything goes live, which is the recommended setup for content publishing workflows.

Does this work with self-hosted WordPress as well as WordPress.com?

Yes. The WordPress REST API is available on both self-hosted WordPress installations and WordPress.com sites. You will need to enable the REST API and generate an application password for authentication.
