WordPress for Cowork

Installing the WordPress
for Cowork plugin

Written by

in

WordPress for Cowork is a normal WordPress plugin. You upload it in wp-admin exactly like any other, and it sets itself up from there.

Get the plugin file

Download wordpress-for-cowork.zip from your My Account page after purchase.

Install and activate

  1. In wp-admin, go to Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin.
  2. Choose wordpress-for-cowork.zip and click Install Now.
  3. Click Activate.
  4. A Cowork menu appears in the sidebar. Open it.
  5. Paste your licence key and save. The site provisions itself — that takes a second or two.

What activation does behind the scenes

Three things, none of which need you:

  • It validates your licence once against wordpressforcowork.com, then never needs us again. If our servers go down, your site carries on working.
  • It generates its own WordPress Application Password. You never create one, never see one, and never paste one into a chat window. The plaintext is used once to build your connector and is never stored.
  • It writes coworkmcp-endpoint.php into wp-content/mu-plugins/, which registers /wp-json/coworkmcp/v1/mcp — the endpoint Claude talks to, running on your server, not ours.

Updating

Updates appear on your Plugins screen like any other plugin. The bundled endpoint is refreshed automatically whenever the plugin version changes, so new tools arrive with the update rather than needing a reinstall.

Removing it

Deactivating leaves the endpoint in place so an active connection keeps working. Deleting the plugin removes the mu-plugin, revokes the Application Password it created, and clears your licence from the site — a full, clean disconnect. If you delete and reinstall, you will need to paste your licence key again and download a fresh connector.

Host-specific guides

Some hosts need an extra step first — a security plugin tweak or a firewall exception. If yours is listed, read that guide before you start: Hostinger, Bluehost, SiteGround, WP Engine, GoDaddy, Cloudways, DreamHost, Kinsta, self-hosted VPS, LocalWP.

Next step

Connect Claude to your site — download the connector and drop it into Claude Desktop.
