Ease of connectivity
How to connect Claude Code with WordPress: three steps.
The file does the hard part. After that you just say what you want.
- 01
Grab your file
Log in to your client area and press the Bring to Local button. The file downloads with your login already filled in. It holds your login, so keep it private like a password.
- 02
Drop it in a folder
Save it in a folder on your own computer and rename it to
CLAUDE.md. The file stays there and your site stays hosted on EasWrk. - 03
Run claude in that folder
Open a terminal in the folder and start Claude Code. Then ask for what you want, such as “Create an email account” or “Update all my plugins”.
What the file holds
Everything Claude Code needs to connect.
Your details are already filled in, so it works the moment you download it.
Server credentials
Your DirectAdmin login, SSH hostname, port, username and password.
SSH key setup
A walk-through for creating and uploading an SSH key, so later sessions connect without a password.
WordPress and WP-CLI
The WP-CLI commands for plugins, themes, users, database queries, search-replace, maintenance mode and WooCommerce.
DirectAdmin API
Endpoints with working examples for email, DNS, databases, files, SSL, cron jobs, subdomains and backups.
Email and DNS
Commands for mailboxes, forwarders, MX records, SPF and DKIM.
Documentation links
Links to the DirectAdmin, WP-CLI, WooCommerce REST API and LiteSpeed Cache docs.
Things to ask
Plain requests, real work.
Claude Code reads the file, then handles the SSH connection, API calls and commands itself. You only say the goal.
These are examples from the Bring to Local quick start.
- EmailCreate an email account hello@example.com
- WordPressUpdate all my plugins and check for issues
- DNSAdd an A record pointing blog to 203.0.113.10
- FilesShow me the error log and fix any PHP warnings
- WooCommercePut all products on sale for 20% off
- BackupCreate a full backup of my site
Safety
It asks before it does anything risky.
You decide what your AI does and which AI you use. The quick start prompt includes rules that tell it to:
Back up every file
Before editing, so you can restore the original if something breaks.
Read before writing
It checks what exists before making a change.
Stay in your account
It uses your DirectAdmin permissions only. No root access, no other accounts.
Leave a log
DirectAdmin records all API calls and file changes on the server.
The one thing on your computer is the file. It holds your login, so treat it like a password and do not share it. Your site, files and data stay hosted on EasWrk and owned by you.
Browser or terminal
Two places to give the same instructions.
WrkMate lives in your browser, inside your EasWrk account. Bring to Local with Claude Code hands the same kind of control to your own AI on your own computer. Both come with your plan.

Questions
Plain answers.
How do I connect Claude Code with WordPress?
Download the Bring to Local file from your client area, save it as CLAUDE.md in a folder on your computer, open a terminal there and run claude. Claude Code reads the file and connects to your hosted site. The steps above show each stage.
Can Claude Code use SSH on my WordPress site?
Yes. The file includes your SSH details and a walk-through for creating and uploading an SSH key, so later sessions connect without a password. WP-CLI commands for WordPress and WooCommerce are in the file too.
Is this a WordPress MCP server for Claude Code?
No. EasWrk does not run an MCP server for this. The file gives Claude Code your server details, SSH key setup, WP-CLI commands and the DirectAdmin API, so it connects and works on your account directly.
What is a CLAUDE.md file?
It is a markdown file that gives your AI context about a project. Put it in a folder, open Claude Code there, and it reads the file automatically. It picks up your hosting environment, your login and the commands it can run.
Does Claude Code get root access to the server?
No. It logs in with the same DirectAdmin account you use. It can manage your files, databases, email and DNS, but it cannot touch other accounts, change server settings or run system-level commands.
Does this cost extra?
No. Bring to Local comes with every EasWrk hosting plan. The download button appears on your product page as soon as your account is active.
What if I change my hosting password?
Download a fresh copy from your dashboard. It is generated on demand with your current login. If you set up an SSH key, which the file walks you through, you will not need the password at all.
Can I use a different AI tool?
Yes. It is a plain markdown file. See the Codex page, or the Bring to Local page for ChatGPT, Gemini CLI, Cursor and others.
