Two direct-connect WordPress MCP servers
Royal MCP vs Easy MCP AI
How Royal MCP compares with Easy MCP AI, Themeisle’s free WordPress MCP server. Both run on your own site with no relay, so the differences are page-builder editing, how long you can undo, and how the safety settings start out.

| Price | Free plugin $0 · Pro from $79/yr (1 site) | Free, every tool included, no paid tier |
| Tools | 250+ free, 100+ more in Pro | 280+ (vendor figure) |
| Data path | Direct: your WordPress to your AI client | Direct: no hosted relay |

HONEST FIT-MAP
When to Pick Which
Both ship real capability. Here's how to know which one fits your sites.
Pick Easy MCP AI if...
You want a free, all-in-one toolkit and build in the block editor
- You want every tool free, with no paid tier
- You want GA4, Search Console, Semrush and Ahrefs data in your AI client, using your own API keys
- You want the AI to run WP-CLI commands, install plugins and switch themes
- You don’t need the AI to edit Divi or Elementor layouts
Pick Royal MCP Pro if...
You let AI work on live client sites
- Your sites are built in Divi or Elementor, and the AI has to edit those layouts directly, not just block-editor content (43 dedicated tools)
- Every destructive change returns an undo token that stays valid for up to 7 days, so a bad AI edit is one call to reverse
- You need a record of exactly what the AI changed: the audit log is on from day one and hash-chained, so entries can’t be quietly altered
- You want safety on by default: one switch puts every AI client in read-only mode, and drafts-only keeps AI changes off the live site until you publish
- Each client or teammate gets their own connection that only sees the tools you allow (Custom Endpoint Profiles)
- You run WooCommerce stores and want bulk price changes previewed before they commit, with undo after
