Turn a Notion outline into a WordPress draft
Manus reads your outline page, fills in each section and saves the finished post as a draft on your site.
Plan posts with the Notion connectorWrite, update and publish WordPress posts from one chat
Connect your WordPress.com account, or a self-hosted site through Jetpack, and Manus works as your WordPress AI agent: it writes and saves drafts, updates one section of an old post, adds images and sets categories and tags. Nothing new goes live until you say publish, and one connection covers every site on your account.
First, connect WordPress in Manus
Write a post for Brew Notes on dialing in pour-over at home. Follow my outline, add a featured image, an excerpt and tags, put it in Brewing Guides and save it as a draft.
- Researched grind size, water temperature and pour speed
- Wrote 1,150 words in 9 blocks
- Uploaded the featured image to your media library
- Saved the post as a draft on brewnotes.blog
Your draft is ready. I kept the order of your outline and added a ratio table under “Start with the ratio”. Should I publish it, or change something first?

How to dial in your pour-over at home
Most bitter or sour cups come down to three things: grind size, water temperature and how fast you pour. Change one at a time and taste the difference.
Start with the ratio
Use 15 grams of coffee for every 250 grams of water. Weigh both, and keep the ratio the same while you adjust the grind.

A WordPress AI blog writer that saves drafts for you
Use Manus as a WordPress AI content generator that starts from your topic, outline or notes. It researches, writes the post with a title and excerpt, adds categories and tags, and saves a draft for you to read before anything goes live.
Weekly WordPress drafts from a Google Sheets list
Every Tuesday, Manus takes the next topic from your sheet, writes the post and saves it as a draft, so one is always ready for you to review.
Set it up as a scheduled taskUpdate old WordPress posts block by block
This WordPress AI integration works on posts and pages. Tell Manus what’s out of date and it can replace, insert, move or remove one block, while the rest stays exactly as it was, including your images, links and layout.
Cold brew at home: an easy guidePublishedThe part about our cold brew beans is out of date. We now use the Night Shift blend, $18 a bag. Change only that part.
After your OK, I replaced block 4 of 8. The other 7 blocks, including the image and the shop button, weren’t touched.

Change one section of your WordPress About page
Swap in new opening hours, a new team member or a new address and leave the rest of the page alone.
Replies to pending WordPress comments
Manus goes through comments waiting for approval, flags likely spam and drafts a reply to each real question for you to check.
Fuller WooCommerce product descriptions
If your site runs WooCommerce, Manus can find products with thin descriptions and rewrite them for you to approve.
AI for WordPress SEO: images, excerpts and tags
Manus can create images or use yours, upload them to your media library with alt text and set the featured image. It can also find posts with no excerpt or tags and fill them in once you approve the list.

Manage multiple WordPress sites with AI
One connection reaches every site on your WordPress.com account, including sites connected through Jetpack. Name the site in your request, or ask for the same change on several sites at once.
Save our holiday hours as a draft on both Brew Notes and the shop site. Leave the wholesale site alone.

Connect the WordPress MCP server to Manus
WordPress is already in Manus Connectors. Turn on MCP for your account, sign in once and any task can work with your sites.
Turn on MCP for your account
On WordPress.com, open AI and MCP in your account preferences and turn on MCP access. For a self-hosted site, turn it on under Jetpack → Jetpack AI.
Connect WordPress in Manus
Open Connectors, choose WordPress, select Connect and sign in with your WordPress.com account. Your password isn’t shared with Manus.
Choose an access level
Full access turns on every read and write tool, including deleting content, plugins, themes and site settings. Read only turns off all write tools. Then select Allow. To limit what Manus can do, turn off the tools you don’t need under AI and MCP.

Questions about the WordPress MCP connector
Do I need a WordPress MCP plugin or server?
Not for WordPress.com sites. Manus uses the MCP server built into WordPress.com, and it’s already in Manus Connectors, so there’s nothing to install or host. A self-hosted site connects through the Jetpack plugin, where MCP access stays off until you turn it on.
How do I connect WordPress to Manus?
First turn on MCP access: on WordPress.com, go to your account preferences and open AI and MCP; on a self-hosted site, go to Jetpack → Jetpack AI. Then in Manus, open Connectors, choose WordPress, select Connect and sign in with your WordPress.com account. Choose Full access or Read only, then select Allow.
Which WordPress sites work with Manus?
Sites on any paid WordPress.com plan, and self-hosted WordPress sites connected through Jetpack with a Jetpack AI or Jetpack Complete plan. A free WordPress.com site works for the first 30 days after it’s created.
Will Manus publish posts without asking?
No. New posts and pages are saved as drafts unless you ask Manus to publish them. To check a change first, ask Manus to show it to you before it saves, as the examples on this page do.
Will updating one part of a post change the rest?
No. Manus can replace, insert, move or remove one block in a post or page, and the other blocks stay exactly as they were.
Can Manus manage more than one WordPress site?
Yes. One connection reaches every site on your WordPress.com account, including sites connected through Jetpack, so just name the site in your request. What Manus can do on each site follows your role there: editors can manage content and comments but can’t change settings or plugins.
Is this the same as Jetpack AI?
No. Jetpack AI works inside the WordPress editor and helps with the post you have open, such as titles, excerpts, images and feedback. Manus works from a chat: it can research, write, add images and save drafts across your sites, and use your other apps in the same task. You can use both.
Do I need Claude or ChatGPT to use WordPress MCP?
No. A “WordPress MCP Claude” guide or a “WordPress ChatGPT connector” setup covers adding WordPress to those apps. In Manus, WordPress is already in Connectors. If you use those apps too, the access level you choose applies to every app connected to your WordPress.com account.
Can Manus use the WordPress REST API with my own credentials?
Yes, which helps for a self-hosted site without Jetpack. In your WordPress dashboard, go to Users, edit your user and create an application password (WordPress 5.6 and later, over https). Then in Manus, open Connectors, choose Create, then Custom API, and save your site address, username and application password as secrets.
How do I give Manus WordPress credentials as environment variables?
Use a Custom API connector. Each secret you add there, such as WP_SITE_URL and WP_APP_PASSWORD, is available to tasks as an environment variable, so you don’t paste the password into a chat. Pick names that won’t clash with your other APIs, and add a note telling Manus to use them for your WordPress site.
Can I try Manus on a test WordPress site first?
Yes. Create a free WordPress.com site to test with, since MCP works on it for the first 30 days. One connection reaches every site on your account, so add your main sites under Site exceptions in your AI and MCP settings while you test.
Can Manus work with a WordPress site on my own computer?
Manus works on a cloud computer, so it can’t open a site that runs only on your computer, such as at localhost. With My Computer in the Manus Desktop app, it can use command-line tools on your computer, such as WP-CLI if you have it installed, and asks for your approval before running commands. You can also ask Manus to install a test copy of WordPress on its own cloud computer.
How do I disconnect WordPress?
In Manus, open Connectors, select WordPress and choose Disconnect. You can also remove access on WordPress.com under Security → Connected applications.
