Discover how WordPress is connecting with AI through the Model Context Protocol (MCP) at this hands-on meetup in Naperville. Dhruv Pandya will demonstrate how WordPress websites can integrate directly with AI tools like Claude and ChatGPT, opening new possibilities for content creation, development workflows, and automation.

What You'll Learn

The session will introduce MCP—a protocol that enables seamless communication between WordPress and AI assistants. You'll see practical demonstrations of how this technology works in real-world scenarios, including:

  • How WordPress can connect directly with AI tools through MCP
  • Plugin concepts and architecture for AI integration
  • Practical use cases for AI-assisted content creation and development
  • Automation opportunities within WordPress using AI
  • Real-world testing results, including both successes and limitations

Dhruv will share honest insights about AI-assisted coding, discussing what works well and where challenges remain. This balanced perspective will help you understand when and how to leverage AI tools effectively in your WordPress projects.
