Update WordPress content through Claude using separate style and research skills plus an MCP connector
A technical-site operator describes connecting WordPress to Claude, deriving a style skill from existing pages and adding a research skill that specifies the site's mission and trusted sources.
Evidence: The author reports this. We have not checked it beyond reading the source.
The business problem
A large technical site's long-tail content becomes outdated faster than manual maintenance can keep up.
What was tried
Connect WordPress through an MCP adapter with post, custom-field and media capabilities. Audit existing content to derive a Markdown stylebook covering structure and field formatting. Create a separate skill defining the niche, relevant information and trusted research sources. Load both skills and the connector into Claude. Request a new post, a guide update or a topic freshness check through the app.
What was reported (positive)
The operator claims maintenance previously took two weeks every few months and now takes minutes. No comparable task count or accuracy evaluation is supplied.
Limitations
The actual skills and connector configuration are not shared. The post describes broad server access without a detailed approval process; it does not establish safe publishing or factual accuracy.
What you need
Claude with skills/connectors, WordPress and an MCP adapter.
