Claudaborative Editing
by
Provides AI‑powered real‑time collaborative editing within the WordPress block editor, allowing Claude Code to act as a co‑author alongside human editors.
Claudaborative Editing Overview
What is Claudaborative Editing about?
Claudaborative Editing brings Claude Code into the Gutenberg editor as an interactive collaborator. It lets the AI proofread, review, edit, translate, and compose content while human editors work on the same post, merging changes instantly through Yjs CRDT synchronization.
How to use Claudaborative Editing?
- Install and activate the Claudaborative Editing plugin from the WordPress plugin repository.
- Ensure Claude Code is installed on your machine.
- In a terminal run
npx claudaborative-editing start. The command checks Claude Code, runs a one‑time setup wizard (browser‑based WordPress auth), and launches the local MCP server. - Open any post in the block editor. Use the AI Actions sparkle icon in the toolbar to trigger tasks such as Proofread, Review, Edit, Translate, or Compose.
- Interact with Claude through the side conversation panel or address editorial notes directly from the collaboration sidebar.
Key features of Claudaborative Editing
- AI Actions menu – one‑click commands for proof‑reading, reviewing, editing with custom prompts, translating, and composing outlines.
- Pre‑publish checks – AI suggestions for excerpt, categories, tags, and slug before publishing.
- Editorial notes – clickable notes in the sidebar that Claude can resolve automatically.
- Conversation panel – chat‑style back‑and‑forth for complex tasks like outlining a post.
- Real‑time collaboration – Claude appears as a named collaborator; edits merge seamlessly with human changes.
- Connection status indicator – shows Claude’s connection state and current activity.
Use cases of Claudaborative Editing
- Quickly improve grammar, style, and tone of drafts.
- Generate multilingual versions of a post with a single command.
- Draft full posts through guided AI conversations, then refine them collaboratively.
- Automate pre‑publish SEO‑friendly metadata (excerpt, tags, slug).
- Reduce editorial back‑and‑forth by letting Claude address notes directly.
FAQ from the Claudaborative Editing
Q: What are the prerequisites?
A: Claude Code installed, WordPress 7.0+ (or 6.9 with Gutenberg 22.8+), collaborative editing enabled, and a WordPress user with edit_posts capability.
Q: How does the real‑time collaboration work? A: Both the plugin and the MCP server connect to the same Yjs CRDT layer used by Gutenberg, so Claude’s edits are merged just like any other user’s changes.
Q: Can I configure WordPress credentials without the browser wizard?
A: Yes. Set WP_SITE_URL, WP_USERNAME, and WP_APP_PASSWORD as environment variables or use the --manual flag during setup.
Q: How do I stop the MCP server?
A: Press Ctrl+C in the terminal where npx claudaborative-editing start is running.
Q: Is there a way to uninstall the configuration?
A: Run npx claudaborative-editing setup --remove to delete stored credentials from Claude Code.
Claudaborative Editing's README
Claudaborative Editing
AI editing assistance directly in the WordPress block editor. Claude joins as a real-time collaborator to proofread, review, edit, translate, compose, and prepare your posts for publishing.
Getting Started
- Install the Claudaborative Editing WordPress plugin and activate it.
- Run the following in your terminal:
npx claudaborative-editing start
This checks that Claude Code is installed, runs a setup wizard on first use (opens your browser to authorize with WordPress), and starts a Claude Code session connected to your site.
Open any post in the block editor and use the AI Actions menu in the toolbar.
Features
AI Actions menu
A sparkle icon in the editor toolbar opens a dropdown with actions you can trigger on the current post:
- Proofread: Fix grammar, spelling, and punctuation.
- Review: Leave editorial notes on the post.
- Edit: Make broad editorial changes with a custom focus prompt (e.g., "make the tone more conversational").
- Translate: Translate content into another language.
- Compose: Plan and outline a post through a guided back-and-forth conversation.
Pre-publish checks
When you publish, an AI-powered panel suggests improvements to your post's excerpt, categories, tags, and slug. Apply suggestions individually or all at once.
Editorial notes
Sparkle buttons appear on editorial notes in the collaboration sidebar. Address a single note or all open notes at once: Claude reads the note, understands the feedback, and makes the requested changes.
Conversation panel
A side panel opens for interactive commands like Compose. Chat back and forth with Claude to refine an outline, then approve it to generate the post structure.
Real-time collaboration
Claude appears as a named collaborator in the editor, using the same collaborative editing infrastructure as human editors. Edits from Claude and humans merge automatically: you can both work on the same post at the same time.
Connection status
A sparkle icon in the editor footer shows whether Claude is connected. Click it to see which post Claude is editing and whether a command is in progress.
Prerequisites
- Claude Code installed
- WordPress 7.0+, or WordPress 6.9 with Gutenberg 22.8+, with collaborative editing enabled (Settings → Writing)
- A WordPress user with
edit_postscapability
Configuration
Setup wizard
npx claudaborative-editing setup # Interactive setup (browser-based auth)
npx claudaborative-editing setup --manual # Skip browser auth, enter credentials manually
npx claudaborative-editing setup --remove # Remove configuration from Claude Code
Environment variables
If you prefer to configure credentials manually:
| Variable | Description |
|---|---|
WP_SITE_URL |
WordPress site URL |
WP_USERNAME |
WordPress username |
WP_APP_PASSWORD |
WordPress Application Password |
How It Works
The project has two parts: a WordPress plugin and an MCP server.
The WordPress plugin adds the AI Actions UI to the block editor and manages a command queue. When you trigger an action (like "Proofread"), the plugin sends the command to the MCP server via WordPress REST API endpoints and real-time Yjs sync.
The MCP server (the npm package) runs locally on your machine and bridges Claude Code with WordPress. It connects to the same Yjs CRDT-based collaborative editing infrastructure that powers multi-user editing in the block editor, so Claude's edits merge seamlessly with human edits.
See CLAUDE.md for architecture details, sync protocol documentation, and key design decisions.
