Connect Claude to Royal MCP

With Royal MCP active and your API key copied, connect Claude one of two ways.

Option 1, OAuth (recommended, no config file needed):

1. Open Claude Desktop Settings → Connectors.
2. Click Add custom connector.
3. Paste your Royal MCP URL and authorize using your WordPress login.

Option 2, config file with your API key:

Edit your Claude Desktop config file (Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json, Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "my-wordpress-site": {
      "url": "https://yoursite.com/wp-json/royal-mcp/v1/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer your-api-key-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop, and Claude will list your site’s tools, creating posts, listing products, reading pages, the next time you start a conversation.
