What Bridgistic does
Bridgistic lets Claude, ChatGPT, OpenAI Codex, Gemini CLI or any other MCP client work on a WordPress site without an administrator password. You install the free WordPress plugin and create a least-privilege key. Every request is HMAC-signed and checked against that key's scopes. Destructive operations can be dry-run, held for your approval and snapshotted first, and every request is recorded in the audit log. The MCP server provides 54 tools for posts, media, users, plugins, options, files, the database, WooCommerce, playbooks, schedules and snapshots.
Install
First, the WordPress plugin. Download bridgistic-wordpress-plugin.zip from the latest release or from bridgistic.app. Upload it under Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin and activate it. Then create a Read-only key under Bridgistic → AI / MCP Connections.
Claude Desktop (one-click, no Node.js). Download bridgistic.mcpb and double-click it. When prompted, enter your site URL, Key ID and Secret.
Claude Code (plugin marketplace).
/plugin marketplace add Wordpressistic/bridgistic-claude-marketplace
/plugin install bridgistic@bridgistic-marketplace
Then set BRIDGISTIC_SITE_URL, BRIDGISTIC_KEY_ID and BRIDGISTIC_KEY_SECRET in your environment.
Other MCP clients. Run npx -y bridgistic-mcp-server with the same three environment variables. Remote-only clients such as ChatGPT can connect through Bridgistic Cloud (public beta) from WP Admin → Bridgistic → Bridgistic Cloud.
Verify any client by asking it to run bridgistic_get_site_info.

New to MCP?
From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
