Connection

Your default MCP server endpoint:

http://your-site.test/wp-json/mcp/mcp-adapter-default-server

Connect with WP-CLI (STDIO)

Paste this into your Claude Desktop config (claude_desktop_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "wordpress-inhale": {
      "command": "wp",
      "args": [
        "--path=/var/www/html",
        "mcp",
        "stdio",
        "--server=mcp-adapter-default-server"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Connect with HTTP transport

Go to Users → Profile → Application Passwords.
Create a new application password named mcp-client.
Copy the generated token (24 characters, four groups of six).
Add the configuration below to your MCP client.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "wordpress-inhale": {
      "transport": "http",
      "url": "http://your-site.test/wp-json/mcp/mcp-adapter-default-server",

About Inhale

Inhale is a settings-only utility. It does not run MCP servers, transports, or authentication. Those are handled by the official WordPress MCP Adapter, which Inhale extends.

Every ability you inhale still runs its own permission checks before execution. Inhale controls visibility, not authorization.

Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open specification originally developed by Anthropic. Inhale is a third-party plugin and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Anthropic. Respira is an independent company.

Inhale is built by Respira. Respira ships AI infrastructure for WordPress, including Respira for WordPress, the safety layer for AI-driven edits across 12 page builders. Learn more at respira.press.
