Connect your WordPress site
Sign in with WordPress.com, or connect a self-hosted site with your site URL and an application password. Riley reads the site it is scoped to. One step, no MCP server to install, no config file to edit.
Riley drafts the post
Riley writes the post, assigns the right category, and sets a featured image. The draft sits ready for you, formatted the way your blog expects.
You choose how it ships
Publish now, save as a draft, submit for review, keep it private, or schedule it for later. Riley shows you the post first. Nothing goes live until you approve.
How Riley works in WordPress.
Posts drafted and held for your review
Riley writes the post and leaves it as a draft in your WordPress dashboard, ready for you to read before anything ships.
Category and featured image, set before it ships
Riley assigns the right category and adds a featured image, so the post looks finished the moment it goes live.
Posts scheduled for the right moment
Approve a post to go out later, and Riley schedules it in WordPress for the date and time you set.
Private posts, for internal or early drafts
When a post is not ready for the public, Riley can keep it private in WordPress until you decide otherwise.
Riley in WordPress, answered.
How Riley connects, what it can do once connected, and where you stay in control.
What is a WordPress MCP integration?
It is a connection between Riley and your WordPress site built on the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Once connected, Riley can draft blog posts, assign a category, set a featured image, and publish them to your site on your approval, instead of you copying drafts into the WordPress editor by hand.
Does Simplified use the official WordPress MCP server?
Riley connects to WordPress via MCP, and the setup is managed for you. There is no MCP server to install and no config file to edit. You connect once and Riley handles the rest.
How do I connect WordPress to Riley?
Sign in with WordPress.com, or connect a self-hosted WordPress.org site with your site URL and an application password, whichever fits your setup. It takes about a minute.
Can Riley publish directly to my site?
Yes, but always with your review first. Riley shows you the post before anything goes live, and you choose the state it ships in: publish now, save as a draft, submit for review, keep it private, or schedule it for later.
Does Riley set the category and featured image?
Yes. Riley assigns the right category and sets a featured image before the post goes live, so it is ready to publish without extra cleanup in the WordPress editor.
What happens if I want changes before it publishes?
Ask Riley to revise the post, the category, or the featured image, or make the edit yourself in the draft. Nothing ships until you approve it.
How much does the WordPress integration cost?
Connecting WordPress does not cost extra. Every Simplified plan includes integrations, so you can put Riley to work on your blog right away.
What is the difference between this and the Simplified MCP server?
This page is about Riley connecting out to your tools. The Simplified MCP server is the reverse: it lets your own AI tool, like Claude Desktop, connect into Simplified.
