@WordPress.com list all draft posts on my site that mention 'migration' in the title or content, then show me the three most recent ones with their current word counts.

Found 7 draft posts matching 'migration'. Here are the three most recent: 1. **Database Migration Strategy** (Draft, 847 words) — Created March 15, last edited March 18. Contains SQL examples and rollback procedures. 2. **Customer Migration FAQ** (Draft, 1,203 words) — Created March 12, last edited March 14. Covers common questions about account transfers. 3. **Migration Checklist v2** (Draft, 412 words) — Created March 10, never edited. Bullet-point list with DNS and backup steps. All three are unpublished and editable. Would you like me to retrieve the full content of any draft for review?

This example shows the MCP's search and list capabilities across draft content. The OAuth2 scope must include read access to posts. The MCP returns raw content fields, making it easy to count words or extract metadata. Note that published posts are also searchable, but this example focuses on drafts to demonstrate pre-publication workflows.

@WordPress.com create a draft post titled 'Q2 Product Roadmap' with a placeholder intro paragraph, then give me the post ID and edit URL so I can finish writing it in the WordPress editor.

Draft post created successfully: **Title:** Q2 Product Roadmap **Status:** Draft (not visible to public) **Post ID:** 1847 **Edit URL:** https://wordpress.com/post/yoursite.wordpress.com/1847 The post contains a single paragraph: 'This roadmap outlines our product priorities for Q2 2024. Details on feature releases, timelines, and team assignments will be added below.' The draft is saved but unpublished. You can continue editing in the WordPress editor or ask me to update the content programmatically.

This example demonstrates the create-draft workflow, which never publishes content automatically. The MCP requires write access to posts via OAuth2. The returned post ID is critical for subsequent updates or deletion. Be aware that drafts remain in your WordPress site until explicitly deleted — the MCP does not auto-clean up test posts.

@WordPress.com pull today's WordPress blogging prompt, then draft a 200-word post responding to it. Save it as a draft and show me the first paragraph.

Today's WordPress blogging prompt: *'What's a skill you wish you had learned earlier in life?'* I've drafted a 203-word response and saved it as a draft post titled 'A Skill I Wish I'd Learned Earlier.' **First paragraph:** 'If I could rewind ten years, I'd teach myself to touch-type properly. I spent my early twenties hunting and pecking at 40 words per minute, convinced that speed would come naturally. It didn't. By the time I committed to typing tutorials in my late twenties, I'd already written hundreds of emails and reports with inefficient finger placement. Retraining muscle memory was harder than learning from scratch would have been.' The full draft is saved as post ID 1849. Would you like me to retrieve the complete text or publish it after review?

This example chains two MCP capabilities: fetching a blogging prompt and creating a draft post. It shows how the AI can generate content in response to WordPress.com's daily prompts, then save it for human review. The MCP does not publish automatically, so the user retains editorial control. Useful for teams that want AI-assisted content drafts without bypassing approval workflows.

When WordPress.com MCP beats manual draft handoffs

A 6-person content agency manages 12 client WordPress.com sites and preps 40+ drafts per week. The team uses Switchy to batch-create draft posts from approved outlines, pull site overviews to confirm plan limits before scheduling, and list existing drafts to avoid duplicate titles. The MCP's OAuth2 scope means each writer authenticates once and Switchy handles all 12 sites without re-login. The trade-off: this MCP only works for WordPress.com-hosted sites, not self-hosted WordPress installs. If half your clients are on WP Engine or Kinsta, you'll need a different integration. For agencies locked into WordPress.com's ecosystem, this MCP cuts draft-handoff time from 15 minutes per post to under 2 minutes.

Using Reader subscriptions for competitive intel

A solo tech blogger follows 80 industry sites via WordPress.com Reader and wants to spot trending topics before writing her weekly roundup. She uses Switchy to list her Reader subscriptions, pull recent posts from high-signal feeds, and identify clusters of keywords that appeared in the last 48 hours. The List Reader Subscriptions tool surfaces the full feed list without opening the WordPress.com UI, and the List Content tool lets her scan post titles and excerpts in bulk. The limitation: this only works if the target blogs are on WordPress.com or syndicate to it. If the competition is on Medium or Ghost, the MCP sees nothing. For writers who live in the WordPress.com ecosystem, this MCP turns research from a 90-minute tab-fest into a 10-minute Switchy query.

When draft deletion matters more than publishing

A 3-person e-commerce brand runs quarterly product launches and creates 50+ draft posts per campaign to A/B test headlines and intros. Only 10-15 drafts go live; the rest clutter the WordPress.com dashboard for months. The team uses Switchy to list all drafts older than 30 days, verify their status, and batch-delete the unused ones with the Delete Draft Post tool. The MCP's safety check—refusing to delete anything published or scheduled—prevents accidental content loss. The downside: if your workflow involves keeping drafts as an archive, this MCP's delete-only approach won't help. For teams that treat drafts as disposable scratch work, this MCP turns a 2-hour manual cleanup into a 5-minute Switchy sweep.
