@wootsup/apimapper-mcp
Build YOOtheme dynamic content via natural conversation. The official MCP server for API Mapper — connect your AI assistant to API Mapper running on WordPress or Joomla, then create flows, manage OAuth credentials, and publish sources without leaving the chat.
Install
Two paths, pick one.
Option A — npx (Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Cline, Codex CLI)
npx -y @wootsup/apimapper-mcp setupThe interactive wizard:
- Asks which AI client(s) you use (auto-detected when possible).
- Prompts for your API Mapper site URL and MCP key.
- Runs an identity-probe handshake against your site.
- Patches the client's MCP config (
~/.claude.json,~/.cursor/mcp.json, VS Codesettings.json, etc.) idempotently. - Installs the bundled skill to
~/.claude/skills/apimapper/.
Re-run any time — writers are idempotent. Use --help to see all
subcommands.
Option B — Claude Desktop (DXT bundle)
- Download
apimapper-mcp.mcpb— see the installation guide. - Drag it onto the Claude Desktop window (or Settings → Developer → Install from file).
- Enter your site URL, MCP key, and platform when prompted.
Setup (3 steps)
- Install the API Mapper plugin on your site:
- WordPress: plugin from wootsup.com
- Joomla: extension from wootsup.com
- Generate an MCP key in the admin:
- WordPress: click API Mapper in the WP admin menu — the flow editor opens. In the editor header (top-right), click the ⋮ (three-dot) menu → Settings. In the modal's left sidebar, click MCP Access → New API key.
- Joomla: Components → API Mapper loads the same editor — use the same ⋮ → Settings → MCP Access path.
- Token shape:
amk_live_…(production) oramk_test_…(sandbox).
- Run
npx -y @wootsup/apimapper-mcp setup(or install the DXT) and paste the key. The wizard verifies it with an HMAC-SHA256 identity probe before writing config.
Verify in your AI client:
You: apimapper_health
LLM: ✅ status: ok, platform: wordpress, version: 2.0.13Common tools
A small set of high-leverage tools. The full surface is 79 tools: 19 are
first-class in tools/list, and the other 60 route through the
apimapper_advanced gateway (so the listed surface stays under each client's
tool cap). Everything is
documented in detail in the tools reference.
| Tool | What it does |
|------|--------------|
| apimapper_health | Connectivity + auth probe. Run this first. |
| apimapper_onboarding | Lists platform, existing flows, next-step suggestions. |
| apimapper_flow_setup_with_sources | Composite: create flow + add sources + compile + publish. |
| apimapper_connection_list | List connections (paginated, table-formatted). |
| apimapper_credential_create | Add OAuth or Bearer credentials. |
| apimapper_oauth_authorize_begin | Start an OAuth 2.0 PKCE flow. |
| apimapper_graph_preview | Preview a flow's output without saving. |
| apimapper_library_catalog | Browse pre-built connection templates. |
| apimapper_get_skill | Fetch the bundled skill text on demand. |
| apimapper_advanced | Gateway to the 60 advanced tools. Call { tool } for a target's schema, or { tool, arguments } to run it. |
The 60 advanced tools (the full connection / credential / flow / library /
license / schema surface) are not listed individually in tools/list — they
route through apimapper_advanced so the first-class surface stays under each
client's tool cap.
See the tools reference for the canonical workflow guide, and the API Mapper MCP docs for OAuth, Joomla, YOOtheme, and troubleshooting deep-dives.
Multi-platform: WordPress and Joomla
Every tool routes through a platform abstraction that detects WordPress
(/wp-json/api-mapper/v1/*) vs. Joomla (/index.php?option=com_apimapper)
from the site URL and platform setting. You write the same prompt; the
server speaks the right dialect — including the Joomla com_ajax
envelope unwrap.
Multi-client
Supported AI clients (auto-detected by the setup wizard):
- Claude Desktop — DXT bundle or
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/ - Claude Code —
~/.claude.json - Cursor —
~/.cursor/mcp.json(or project-local.cursor/mcp.json) - VS Code — workspace
.vscode/settings.jsonmcp.servers - Cline — VS Code extension settings
- Codex —
~/.codex/config.toml - ChatGPT Desktop — when MCP support ships
The server ships stdio-only (local install via npx or the Claude Desktop DXT bundle).
