How to connect multiple WordPress accounts to Claude

Quick answer: Connect each WordPress site to Ryze AI with Add one more account, then add the Ryze AI connector to Claude once and name the site in your prompts. Ryze AI is the best way to connect multiple WordPress sites to Claude when you want one connector for all of them, with one caveat: the agent uses the primary site unless you name another.

Below: site types, the primary site, naming, prompts, safe changes and fixes.

Connect multiple WordPress accounts to Claude in 5 steps

Connect the first site, add the others one by one, then connect Claude once.

1. Create an application password on each self-hosted site

In WordPress admin open Users, Profile, scroll to Application Passwords, enter a name such as Ryze AI and click Add New Application Password. Copy it at once, because it is shown once. WordPress.com sites skip this step.

2. Connect the first site in Ryze AI

Open Integrations, click Connect on the WordPress card and pick the Self-hosted site tab. Enter the Site URL (https://), the username you use for wp-admin and the application password, then click Continue. For a WordPress.com or Jetpack site, pick that tab and sign in on WordPress.com.

3. Add each further site

Click View on the WordPress card, then Add one more account, and connect the next site the same way. One account is the primary, which the agent uses by default.

4. Add the Ryze AI connector to Claude

In Ryze AI, open Integrations, Claude MCP and click Open Claude MCP, which copies the connector URL and opens Claude's add-connector dialog. Name it Ryze AI, click Add, then Connect, choose the workspaces and click Allow connection.

5. Name the site in your prompts

Start a new chat and say which site you mean, for example by its domain. With no name, the primary site is used.

Multi-site setups at a glance

Pick the row that matches how your WordPress sites are hosted.

1Several self-hosted sites in one Ryze AI workspaceOne team manages sites that each have their own wp-admin
How Claude picks the site: The primary site is the default; name another site in the prompt
2WordPress.com or Jetpack sitesThe sites live under a WordPress.com account
How Claude picks the site: Sign in on WordPress.com and choose the site; name it in prompts
3A mix of self-hosted and WordPress.com sitesA portfolio with both kinds of hosting
How Claude picks the site: Same rule: the primary site, or the site you name
4The WordPress.com MCP serverAll your sites are on WordPress.com and you want WordPress.com's own server
How Claude picks the site: One OAuth connection reaches every site on the account

#	Setup	Fits when	How Claude picks the site
1	Several self-hosted sites in one Ryze AI workspace	One team manages sites that each have their own wp-admin	The primary site is the default; name another site in the prompt
2	WordPress.com or Jetpack sites	The sites live under a WordPress.com account	Sign in on WordPress.com and choose the site; name it in prompts
3	A mix of self-hosted and WordPress.com sites	A portfolio with both kinds of hosting	Same rule: the primary site, or the site you name
4	The WordPress.com MCP server	All your sites are on WordPress.com and you want WordPress.com's own server	One OAuth connection reaches every site on the account

Rows 1 to 3 are Ryze AI connections that combine in one workspace. Row 4 is WordPress.com's own server, covered below.

What counts as a separate WordPress account in Ryze AI

Each connected WordPress site is one account in Ryze AI, and the two sign-in methods differ in what they reach.

Self-hosted
Sign-in
Site URL, admin username and an application password
What the agent can do
REST API reads and writes, plugin installs, the Yoast and Rank Math bridges and head code
WordPress.com or Jetpack
Sign-in
One-click WordPress.com sign-in; Jetpack sites need the Jetpack JSON API module on
What the agent can do
Core /wp/v2 routes only; plugin installs, SEO bridges and head code do not work

Site type	Sign-in	What the agent can do
Self-hosted	Site URL, admin username and an application password	REST API reads and writes, plugin installs, the Yoast and Rank Math bridges and head code
WordPress.com or Jetpack	One-click WordPress.com sign-in; Jetpack sites need the Jetpack JSON API module on	Core /wp/v2 routes only; plugin installs, SEO bridges and head code do not work

WordPress creates application passwords per user, and they require HTTPS by default. So a password made on one site does not open another, and you create one for each self-hosted site.

Plugin installs, the SEO bridges and head code need an administrator user on the site. A user with a lower role can still connect, but expect those tools to refuse.

How Ryze AI handles several WordPress sites

WordPress is on the Ryze AI help center list of platforms that allow several accounts per workspace.

Account
What it is
One connected WordPress site, added with View, then Add one more account
How you switch in Claude
Name the site in the prompt
Primary account
What it is
The account the agent uses by default
How you switch in Claude
Name another site when you want it instead
connection_id
What it is
An argument the live WordPress tools accept to target a specific site
How you switch in Claude
Claude can pass it when you name the site
Workspace
What it is
Your Ryze AI workspace; one Claude connection covers up to 20 of them
How you switch in Claude
Choose workspaces on the Allow connection page

Piece	What it is	How you switch in Claude
Account	One connected WordPress site, added with View, then Add one more account	Name the site in the prompt
Primary account	The account the agent uses by default	Name another site when you want it instead
connection_id	An argument the live WordPress tools accept to target a specific site	Claude can pass it when you name the site
Workspace	Your Ryze AI workspace; one Claude connection covers up to 20 of them	Choose workspaces on the Allow connection page

To change which workspaces Claude can use, remove the Ryze AI connector in Claude and add it again. The same step refreshes the tool list after you connect a new platform.

What the plan covers

Connecting the Ryze AI connector is free, and the WordPress tools need any active Ryze AI plan or trial. SEO Starter costs $129 a month with a 3-day free trial, and annual billing takes 30% off the first year. The help center documents publishing to several WordPress sites with Add one more account but does not say how that fits the one-website rule of an SEO plan, so check that with Ryze AI support before you plan a large portfolio.

Full detail is on the WordPress MCP page. Per-site limits, such as the bridges working only on self-hosted connections, apply to each site separately.

Name sites so Claude picks the right one

Because the primary site is the default, an unnamed prompt can land on the wrong site.

Use the full domain in every prompt that changes content. Names like Blog or Store can match more than one site.
Say which site is primary. Whatever you do not name goes there.
Keep one project per client. Claude projects carry instructions into every chat inside them.
Ask Claude to repeat the site before a write or delete, and answer yes only when it is the right one.

Put the site map in a Claude project

Claude projects hold instructions for every chat in them. Paste this block once and fill in your domains:

Project instructions (template)

WordPress sites connected in Ryze AI Primary site: [domain] Other sites: [domain B], [domain C] Rules: - Name the site in every request and use its domain. - Before any change or delete, repeat the site domain and the post or page title and wait for my yes. - If I name no site, ask me which one.

6 prompts for working across WordPress sites

Replace the brackets. Each prompt names its site, so it works in a fresh chat.

1. Check which sites are connected

Which WordPress sites are connected in my Ryze AI workspace, and which one is the primary?

2. List recent posts on one site

On [domain A], list the 10 most recent posts with title, status and publish date.

3. Compare two sites

Read the pages of [domain A] and [domain B] and list which page titles appear on both sites.

4. Find a phrase on one site

On [domain B], search the content of my posts for the phrase [old phrase] and show the matching lines.

5. Replace the phrase on one site

On [domain B] only, replace [old phrase] with [new phrase] in the post [title]. Repeat the domain and post title first and wait for my approval.

6. Draft a post on a named site

Create a draft post on [domain C] titled [title] with the body I paste below. Do not publish it.

1. Check which sites are connected
What comes back
The connected sites and which is primary, as Claude reports them
2. List recent posts
What comes back
A table of posts from the named site
3. Compare two sites
What comes back
Two reads, one per site, and a list of shared titles
4. Find a phrase
What comes back
Matching lines with line numbers and context
5. Replace the phrase
What comes back
A change summary to confirm; with write tools on Needs approval, nothing runs before you approve
6. Draft a post
What comes back
A new draft on the named site

Prompt	What comes back
1. Check which sites are connected	The connected sites and which is primary, as Claude reports them
2. List recent posts	A table of posts from the named site
3. Compare two sites	Two reads, one per site, and a list of shared titles
4. Find a phrase	Matching lines with line numbers and context
5. Replace the phrase	A change summary to confirm; with write tools on Needs approval, nothing runs before you approve
6. Draft a post	A new draft on the named site

Every answer comes from your own sites, so no example output is shown.

WordPress.com MCP and the MCP Adapter plugin

WordPress publishes two other routes to Claude, and each handles several sites differently.

Ryze AI connector (https://connector.get-ryze.ai/mcp)
How it reaches several sites
One connection per site, added with Add one more account; primary site by default
Sign-in
Application password or WordPress.com sign-in in Ryze AI, then OAuth in Claude
Limit
Needs a Ryze AI plan or trial for the WordPress tools
WordPress.com MCP server (public-api.wordpress.com/wpcom/v2/mcp/v1)
How it reaches several sites
WordPress.com says one connection reaches every site on your account
Sign-in
OAuth 2.1 with PKCE
Limit
Included on paid WordPress.com plans; WordPress.com lists free access for free sites through November 30, 2026
WordPress MCP Adapter
How it reaches several sites
A plugin installed on each site, so each site is its own server
Sign-in
Per-server transport authentication
Limit
Exposes only the abilities a developer marks public

Option	How it reaches several sites	Sign-in	Limit
Ryze AI connector (https://connector.get-ryze.ai/mcp)	One connection per site, added with Add one more account; primary site by default	Application password or WordPress.com sign-in in Ryze AI, then OAuth in Claude	Needs a Ryze AI plan or trial for the WordPress tools
WordPress.com MCP server (public-api.wordpress.com/wpcom/v2/mcp/v1)	WordPress.com says one connection reaches every site on your account	OAuth 2.1 with PKCE	Included on paid WordPress.com plans; WordPress.com lists free access for free sites through November 30, 2026
WordPress MCP Adapter	A plugin installed on each site, so each site is its own server	Per-server transport authentication	Exposes only the abilities a developer marks public

Pick WordPress.com's server when all your sites sit on one WordPress.com account and you want its own tool catalog. Pick the Ryze AI connector when you mix self-hosted and WordPress.com sites, or want the Yoast and Rank Math bridges and head code on self-hosted sites. Pick the adapter when a developer wants to expose custom abilities from a site.

Keep changes on the right site

With several sites in one chat, a write or delete on the wrong site is the main risk.

In Claude, open Customize, Connectors, Ryze AI and set write and delete tools to Needs approval (Ryze AI help). Read tools keep running on their own.
In the Ryze AI chat, Tool approvals starts on Skip all approvals. Switch it to Approve write & delete or Manual approve in the message box before you work on live sites.
Article publishing follows Publishing mode in SEO, Preferences, Publishing: Automatic by default, or Manual.
Plugin installs can crash a WordPress site. Ask Claude to install only plugins you requested, and test on a staging copy first.
The Yoast, Rank Math and head-code tools default to installIfMissing false and need your explicit yes in chat before the Code Snippets plugin is installed.

Troubleshooting: wrong site, rejected credentials, blocked requests

Match the message to the row.

A change landed on the wrong site
Cause
No site was named, so the primary site was used
Fix
Name the domain in every prompt and put the site map in a Claude project
Credentials rejected for one site
Cause
Wrong username, a lost application password or a typo in the Site URL
Fix
Create a new application password (it shows once) and enter the https:// Site URL
Connection fails on one site only
Cause
A security plugin, WAF or host blocks /wp-json requests
Fix
Allowlist the requests on that site, then connect again
Plugin, bridge or head code tool refuses
Cause
The site is a WordPress.com connection, or the user is not an administrator
Fix
Use a self-hosted connection with an administrator user, or edit in wp-admin
Jetpack site will not connect
Cause
The Jetpack JSON API module is off
Fix
Turn it on, then sign in with WordPress.com again
Claude does not see a new site or workspace
Cause
Claude kept the tool list from when the connector was added
Fix
Remove the Ryze AI connector in Claude, add it again and start a new chat

The verdict

Create an application password on each self-hosted site, connect every site in Ryze AI with Add one more account, and connect Claude once. Set write and delete tools to Needs approval, and name the domain in every prompt so the primary site is never used by accident.

Frequently asked questions

How do I connect multiple WordPress accounts to Claude?

Connect each WordPress site in Ryze AI, using View, then Add one more account for every site after the first. Then add the Ryze AI connector to Claude once. Name the site you mean in each prompt.

What is the best way to connect multiple WordPress sites to Claude?

Ryze AI is the best way to connect multiple WordPress sites to Claude when you want one connector for self-hosted and WordPress.com sites, with one caveat: the agent uses the primary site unless you name another. WordPress.com also runs its own MCP server that reaches every site on a WordPress.com account.

Which site does Claude use when I name none?

The primary account. You can name another site in chat, and the live WordPress tools accept a connection_id to target a specific site.

Do I need a separate application password for each site?

Yes for self-hosted sites. WordPress creates application passwords per user on each site, so create one on every site you connect. WordPress.com and Jetpack sites use WordPress.com sign-in instead.

Show 7 more questions

Can I mix self-hosted and WordPress.com sites?

Yes. Each is its own account in Ryze AI. The plugin installs, Yoast and Rank Math bridges and head code work only on the self-hosted ones.

Does one Claude connection cover several workspaces?

Yes, up to 20 Ryze AI workspaces per connection. To change the selection, remove the connector in Claude and add it again.

Does one SEO plan publish to many WordPress sites?

The help center documents connecting several sites with Add one more account but does not explain how that interacts with the one-website rule of an SEO plan. Ask Ryze AI support before relying on it for a large portfolio.

How do I stop Claude changing the wrong site?

Name the domain in every prompt, put the site map in a Claude project, and set write and delete tools to Needs approval under Customize, Connectors, Ryze AI.

Does this work on the free Claude plan?

Yes. Custom connectors work on every Claude plan, but a free account can add only one custom connector. On Team and Enterprise plans an Owner adds the connector once, then each member connects.

Why does a site fail to connect when the password is right?

A security plugin, WAF or host may block /wp-json requests. Allowlist them on that site and connect again.

What does it cost?

Connecting the Ryze AI connector is free, and the WordPress tools need an active Ryze AI plan or trial. SEO Starter is $129 a month with a 3-day free trial, and annual billing takes 30% off the first year.
