WordPress.com lets AI agents write, publish, and manage your site

"Automattic has launched write capabilities for its Model Context Protocol (MCP) integration, enabling AI agents to create and modify content directly on your site. This update adds 19 new operations across six content types: posts, pages, comments, categories, tags, and media."

"The feature is designed around explicit human approval. Before creating, updating, or deleting anything, the agent describes exactly what it plans to do and asks for confirmation."

"New posts default to draft status, giving users a chance to review before anything goes live; modifying a published post triggers a similar approval process."

The feature emphasizes human approval, requiring agents to describe their actions before proceeding. New posts are saved as drafts by default, ensuring user review before publication. This development follows previous updates that established read-only access and improved authentication for AI clients.
