Server details

Identifier: com.shilpibuilder/shilpi
Transport: Streamable HTTP
Runtime: Web executable
Trust: Verified
Published: Sep 16, 2026

Security note

MCP servers receive tool arguments from a conversation and may perform external actions. Review what a server can do before you enable it, and give it only the access it needs.

The registry verified that this server's namespace belongs to shilpibuilder.com, but the endpoint is not on that domain, so the publisher may not run this server.

SourceWeft's checks cover whether the listing is complete and the endpoint answered; they do not review the server's code or what its tools do.

Overview

AI-generated overview

Connects an AI assistant to a WordPress site running the Shilpi theme so it can build and edit pages, templates, design tokens and SEO through scoped tools.

What you can do: Read site info and list, read, create, update, delete or import pages, posts and templates, including page CSS and JavaScript
List and manage design tokens, global CSS classes, and global CSS/JS with default header, footer and front page
Manage navigation menus, categories and tags, read and write SEO fields, upload media, and search or manage icon libraries
List, read, save, enable, test-run and delete PHP snippets, and manage script files, project files, web-app manifest and self-hosted fonts
Load Markdown skills such as shilpi-theme or wordpress-core that describe the site's conventions
When to use it: Useful when you run a WordPress site on the Shilpi theme and want an agent to draft or restructure pages, apply the site's design system, or fill in SEO and menu structure without giving it server or file access.
Requirements: A self-hosted WordPress 6.4+ site with PHP 8.0+, HTTPS, and an active Shilpi theme with a valid licence; the server runs on your own domain. Connect via the OAuth endpoint or the application-password endpoint, and the site owner must enable the agent connection in the Shilpi dashboard.

Before you install

Tools write, change and delete site content, templates, menus, SEO fields, snippets and uploaded files. Writing PHP snippets is a separate permission the owner grants and should revoke; uploading JavaScript needs an account with unfiltered_html. The licence is required, and turning the agent connection off removes both endpoints.

Installation

In SourceWeft

Open Shilpi for WordPress in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Other MCP clients

Follow the launch instructions in the repository.

README

Shilpi MCP server

[Listed on mcpservers.org]

Connect Claude, ChatGPT or any MCP-capable agent to a WordPress site running the Shilpi theme, and let it build and edit that site through scoped abilities rather than server access.

This repository holds the public interface: the registry manifest, the tool list, the authentication guide and example client configurations. The server itself ships inside the Shilpi theme and runs on your own WordPress install, so there is no service to sign up for and no third party sits between the agent and your site.

Documentation: https://shilpibuilder.com/docs/

Why this exists

Most WordPress page builders store a layout in their own format. An agent asked to edit such a page has to learn a proprietary widget tree, guess at its invariants and hope the vendor does not change them.

Shilpi stores a page as three plain fields: body HTML, a real stylesheet, and focused JavaScript. An agent editing a Shilpi page is editing markup it already understands. What it needs from the site is not raw access but vocabulary: which global classes exist, which design variables are defined, and what the house rules are. That is what these tools provide.

Endpoints

The server runs on your own site. Replace example.com with your domain.

Purpose	URL
Streamable HTTP, OAuth	`https://example.com/wp-json/mcp/shilpi-oauth`
Streamable HTTP, application password	`https://example.com/wp-json/shilpi/v1/mcp`
OAuth protected-resource metadata	`https://example.com/wp-json/shilpi/v1/oauth/protected-resource`
Site summary for agents	`https://example.com/llms.txt`

Both endpoints require an active licence. Without one they return 404, and no credential will authenticate. Switching the server off in Shilpi → Dashboard → Connect an AI agent removes both endpoints, which makes it a genuine kill switch rather than a setting.

Requirements

WordPress 6.4 or newer
PHP 8.0 or newer
HTTPS, required for OAuth
The Shilpi theme, active, with a valid licence

Getting connected

See docs/authentication.md for the OAuth flow and the application-password fallback, and examples/ for ready-to-paste client configuration.

Abilities

Every tool is scoped. There is no filesystem access, no SSH, and no route to wp-config.php or to theme and plugin files. Writing PHP snippets is a temporary permission the site owner grants at Shilpi → Security and revokes in one click.

The list below is generated from a live install running Shilpi 1.9.4. Counts change between releases, and the WooCommerce Kit plugin adds its own tools when it is active.

Agent instructions

Skills are how the site tells the agent its own conventions. You can upload your own Markdown skill to add house rules, and the agent reads it before writing.

What the server cannot do

This is the part worth reading before you connect anything.

No filesystem access. It cannot read or write theme or plugin files.
No shell, no SSH, no wp-config.php.
No customers, orders, addresses or payment data through the WooCommerce tools.
Writing PHP is off by default and is a permission with an off switch, not a setting you enable and forget.
Uploading JavaScript requires an account with unfiltered_html.
