The problem

A generated article is not a site

You search for claude wordpress because you want a site built by an agent, not just a text. An agent that writes content is not enough: you need complete pages, with layout, styles and SEO.

With Nucleo, Claude works on structured documents. Every change goes through the quality engine, which flags problems such as two h1 headings on the same page.

Features

Claude builds, you approve

Claude as agent

Claude connects to the Nucleo MCP server and reads the guide before writing.

Consent and permissions

You approve the connection on the consent screen. Claude operates with the permissions of your account.

Blocks, not free HTML

Claude builds with Nucleo blocks. Free HTML code requires an explicit capability.

Quality control

Every write returns the quality engine report, with SEO and accessibility.

WP-CLI commands

With WP-CLI you export and sync the site, so you can work locally and then publish.

Steps

Build a site with Claude and WordPress

  1. 1
    Install the plugin

    Upload the nucleo folder to wp-content/plugins and activate it. The activation check verifies PHP, WordPress and write permissions.

  2. 2
    Connect Claude

    Claude uses OAuth 2.1 with PKCE. For a client without HTTP support, the nucleo mcp command acts as a STDIO proxy.

  3. 3
    Ask for the first page

    Claude follows the guide steps in order. Pages pass the quality check before going online.
