WordPress for Cowork

Installing
on Cloudways

Written by

Cloudways exposes raw VPS-level WordPress, which is great — the WordPress for Cowork plugin is compatible out of the box. One setting to know about.

Application Firewall

Cloudways’ Application Firewall sometimes flags rapid REST calls (Claude running through a bulk task, for example). If you hit it:

  1. Cloudways Platform → Settings & Packages → Application Settings → Application Firewall.
  2. Add an allow rule for the /wp-json/coworkmcp/ route so the firewall stops flagging Claude’s requests. Claude connects to your site from Anthropic’s servers, not from your computer. If you allow by IP address, allow Anthropic’s published outbound range 160.79.104.0/21 rather than your own IP.

CDN

Cloudways’ CDN automatically bypasses REST API requests, so reads through Claude are always fresh.

Install

wp-admin → Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin, upload wordpress-for-cowork.zip, Activate. Then open wp-admin → Cowork, copy the connection address shown there, and add it in Claude as a custom connector — see How to connect your WordPress site. If anything fails, Cowork → Run the check tells you which step.
