Common problems
-
The client says it cannot reach the server
Open the endpoint URL in a browser first. If it does not return JSON, the plugin is not active or your permalinks are set to plain. Both are two-minute fixes in wp-admin.
-
It connects but every action is refused
The connected account does not have the capability you are asking for. Check which user the application password belongs to and what role that user has.
-
The tools do not appear
Restart the client fully. Most of them read MCP configuration once at launch and will not pick up a change until they are closed and reopened.
