So here’s something wild: I’m literally writing this post by chatting with Poke.com’s AI Assistant on Telegram. Like, I’m just having a conversation, and doing stuff on my site. How cool is that?
poke chat on telegram!
Let me back up a bit. Over the past few days, I’ve been messing around with this idea of making my WordPress site something I could actually manage using natural conversation. Not just through the admin panel like some regular person, but through an AI assistant. Because why not, right?
I basically vibe coded an MCP server and got it running on Render. What’s MCP? Think of it as a way for AI assistants like Poke to connect with different services and actually do stuff. In this case, the service is my WordPress site.
The technical setup is pretty straightforward, honestly. I built this WordPress MCP server with 34 different tools. Yeah, 34. Everything from creating posts and pages to managing comments, uploading media, handling categories and tags… you name it. The whole thing is built in TypeScript and Node.js.
Under the hood, it’s running Express.js to handle the server stuff, and it uses Server Sent Events (SSE) for communication. That keeps everything real time and responsive. The magic happens through the WordPress REST API, authenticated with Application Passwords. No sketchy plugins or security nightmares. It’s currently deployed on Render. If you’re hooked, it’s all available here on GitHub: https://github.com/suyogyashukla/wordpress-poke-mcp
And now here I am, chatting with Poke, telling it what I want to write about, and it’s creating this post directly on my WordPress site. The whole flow just feels natural. I can manage my entire site through conversation now.
This is honestly one of those projects where you start with a “wouldn’t it be cool if…” and then you actually build it. And then it works. And then you’re sitting there at 6 in the morning writing a blog post about it by talking to an AI.
The future is weird, and I’m here for it.
