How to use Claude with your WordPress site.

Claude cannot reach your WordPress site on its own. Add HexaHQ to Claude and connect your site to it, and Claude can write posts in your voice, save them to your site as drafts, and publish one only after you approve it.

Using Claude with your WordPress site: narrated, and captioned if you would rather watch it muted. Every step is written out below.
Before you start

What you need.

  • A Claude plan that can add a custom connector: Pro, Max, Team or Enterprise.
  • A free HexaHQ account.
  • The username you sign in to your WordPress site with, as an administrator or editor. Your site can be hosted anywhere.

Is your site hosted on WordPress.com?

Most WordPress sites are not, and this guide is for them. If yours is on WordPress.com, WordPress.com is in Claude’s own connectors directory, built on what it calls its MCP server, on every paid WordPress.com plan. Follow WordPress.com’s guide to editing your site with Claude. The same is open to a site you host yourself if it is connected through Jetpack on a Jetpack AI or Jetpack Complete plan.

Steps

Add HexaHQ to Claude.

  1. Add the HexaHQ connector to Claude. On Pro or Max you add it yourself: adding HexaHQ to Claude shows every screen. On Team or Enterprise an owner adds it first: adding HexaHQ to Claude Team or Enterprise. Come back here once Claude has signed you in to HexaHQ.
Steps

Connect your WordPress site.

  1. Ask Claude to connect your WordPress site, and give it your site’s address. The first time, Claude asks your permission to set up a new connector in HexaHQ, which is how HexaHQ adds WordPress to the things it can connect to for you. Click Allow once.
    Claude asking permission: Claude wants to use Set up a new connector from HexaHq.ai, with Deny, Always allow and Allow once buttons.
  2. Open the link Claude gives you. Claude also tells you what to do on the page it opens, which is the next three steps.
    Claude's reply: open this link, then enter the site address, enter the WordPress username, and press Create a password in WordPress, approve it on the site's own screen, copy the password WordPress shows, and paste it into the HexaHQ tab.
  3. Type your site address and WordPress username, and click Create a password. You do not need a password of your own: WordPress makes one just for HexaHQ, in a second tab. Keep this tab open; you will come back to it.
    The HexaHQ form titled Add your WordPress credentials, with the site address and WordPress username filled in, and Create a password and I know my app password buttons.
  4. Approve the connection on your WordPress site. WordPress opens its own page asking whether HexaHQ may connect to your account. Click Yes, I approve of this connection. If WordPress asks you to log in first, log in and you will land on this page.
    The WordPress Authorize Application page asking whether HexaHQ may connect to the account, with Yes, I approve of this connection and No, I do not approve of this connection buttons.
  5. Copy the password WordPress shows, paste it into the HexaHQ form in your first tab, and click Save. Copying it by hand is deliberate: it keeps the password out of web addresses, where it could be recorded. It never appears in your chat, and Claude never sees it. Once you see Saved, go back to Claude.
    The HexaHQ form after Create a password, saying approve it in WordPress, then paste the password it shows you here, above an empty Application Password field and the Save button.
Steps

Write your first post.

  1. Start a new chat and ask for a post. Say what it is about and that it should be saved as a draft. Claude writes it from what HexaHQ knows about how your company writes, and saves it without asking, because a draft changes nothing a visitor can see.
    A Claude chat. The request asks for a short blog post with three tips for following up after a sales demo, in the company's voice, saved as a draft. Claude replies that the post is saved as an unpublished draft, lists the three tips, and says it wrote it to the house blog guide and positioning docs in HexaHQ.
  2. Read the draft in WordPress. It is under Posts, in Drafts, and you can edit it there like any other post.
    The WordPress Drafts list with the new post, How to Follow Up After a Sales Demo.
  3. When you are happy with it, ask Claude to publish it. Publishing is the change a visitor sees, so Claude stops and asks you first, in a prompt titled Run a capability that needs approval. Click Allow once to publish, or Deny to leave it as a draft.
    After the message Looks good, publish it, Claude asks permission: Claude wants to use Run a capability that needs approval from HexaHq.ai, with Deny, Always allow and Allow once buttons.

    Choose Allow once, not Always allow. Always allow tells Claude to stop asking you before changes like this one.

Why this way

Your voice, and your say.

Tell HexaHQ once how your company writes, and every post Claude drafts for your site starts from it, including in chats you open next month. Drafts are saved without asking, because a draft is only for you. Publishing waits for you, every time. And everything Claude did on your site is listed in HexaHQ’s activity log, with WordPress’s own revision history on each post behind it.
