Publish to WordPress from Paperclip
Paperclip can publish posts on WordPress through ClipSpeed. Add the ClipSpeed connector, sign in, and then ask Paperclip to publish posts, pick the time, and apply WordPress's settings, without leaving an orchestrator for a company of agents. WordPress is on the roadmap on ClipSpeed's rail; this page describes how it works and says so.
Keep a human in the loop: Paperclip shows the plan and asks before anything is public. Posting today: YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, X (Twitter) and LinkedIn.

How to publish WordPress from Paperclip
The ClipSpeed CLI for Paperclip agents is in progress. An agent whose runtime is Claude Code or Codex can register the MCP server with one command today. Connect WordPress in ClipSpeed, then describe the post. Setup takes about a minute.
# One-time setup: coming
On a Claude Code or Codex runtime: claude mcp add --transport http clipspeed https://api.clipspeed.ai/mcp
# Then ask Paperclip:
> Publish the article on the main site Tuesday 8am under News
Paperclip: Preview — nothing booked yet. WordPress — title. Book it?Status: coming for the CLI route. ClipSpeed has not verified Paperclip end to end.
- If the agent runs on Claude Code or Codex, register the ClipSpeed MCP server on that runtime with an API key header.
- Give the marketing agent a standing task: clip the week's recordings, plan posts, preview, book on approval.
- Otherwise wait for the ClipSpeed CLI; the badge changes when it ships.
- Connect WordPress in the ClipSpeed app, or ask Paperclip for a connect link: it is private, valid for ten minutes, and WordPress signs you in itself.
What can Paperclip do on WordPress?
On WordPress, Paperclip can publish posts with a featured image, categories and tags to your WordPress sites. Every booking runs through the same rules as the ClipSpeed app.
Text and Image posts
WordPress takes text and image through ClipSpeed. Image: a featured image by URL.
Limits checked at booking
No fixed text limit. Titles are required.
Exact time or refused
Name the minute and Paperclip books it, or you are told why not and offered the next open slot. A booked WordPress post is never moved behind your back.
Preview before anything posts
preview: true runs the whole booking and writes nothing. Paperclip shows the plan, with each slot and the day's remaining cap, and books only on your yes.
Clips cut in the same chat
Submit a video or stream link, get captioned 9:16 clips with a viral score, and post the best moment's hook on WordPress with a link to the clip. No download, no re-upload.
Pacing and numbers
Planned: Text posts on WordPress are at least 60 minutes apart, up to 5 a day. After a post goes out, Paperclip can read back views and engagement where WordPress provides them.
How does Paperclip post to WordPress through ClipSpeed?
You describe what you want in plain language and Paperclip makes the ClipSpeed calls. A typical conversation has three beats.
Find your WordPress channel
Ask Paperclip whether WordPress is connected. It calls list_channels and reads platform_settings, so it also knows what WordPress accepts and the limits before you write a word.
Compose within the rules
Describe the post. Paperclip drafts within WordPress's limits; mention a clip or a file and it attaches it.
Schedule or publish
Name a time, or say now. The slot is booked exactly or refused with the next open one, and the reply carries the id you can cancel or edit by.
WordPress settings reference
These are the schedule_post fields that apply to WordPress. Mention any of them in plain language and Paperclip sets them; the server checks them at booking. Fields marked planned land with the WordPress release.
| Field | Type | Required | What it does on WordPress |
|---|---|---|---|
platforms | string[] | Yes | Include "wordpress". Up to ten platforms per call; each books its own slot. |
title | string | Yes | The post title. |
text | string | Yes | The body in HTML or Markdown. |
categories / tags | string[] | Planned | Existing categories and tags on the site. |
site | string | Planned | Which connected site, when you have several. |
media_url | string | No | The featured image. |

Example prompts for WordPress in Paperclip
Type these into an orchestrator for a company of agents, or pass one to standing task in a script. Paperclip calls ClipSpeed and confirms before publishing.
Publish WordPress with a scheduled time
Publish the article on the main site Tuesday 8am under News. Preview first.
Cut the clips, then post the hook
Clip this link, keep the top moment by viral score, and write a WordPress post from the best moment's transcript, scheduled for tomorrow 9am. Show me the plan before booking.
Check and adjust the WordPress calendar
What is scheduled on WordPress this week? Cancel tomorrow's post and tell me the next open WordPress slot on Friday.
WordPress limits and gotchas to know
WordPress enforces a few rules that Paperclip and ClipSpeed respect automatically, but knowing them helps you phrase requests.
- Works with self-hosted WordPress through the REST API and an application password you create on the site; ClipSpeed never asks for your admin password in chat.
- Categories and tags must exist on the site.
- WordPress is on ClipSpeed's roadmap, not the next rail. Bookings are refused plainly until it posts.
- Pages are not a target; posts are.
- Planned pacing: five posts a day an hour apart.
| Rule | WordPress |
|---|---|
| Accepts | Text, Image |
| Text limit | No fixed limit |
| Title | No title field |
| Links in the caption | Kept |
| Pacing | Planned: Text posts on WordPress are at least 60 minutes apart, up to 5 a day. |
| Formats | Image: a featured image by URL. Aspect: any |

What Postiz-style schedulers cannot do
Cut the clips first
Paperclip does not need finished video to start. Hand it a YouTube link, a podcast, a stream VOD or a local export. ClipSpeed finds the moments, cuts them to 9:16 with word-by-word captions, scores each one 0 to 100 for shareability, and returns them in the same conversation. Paperclip picks by score, writes the post from the transcript, and books the best moments as links on WordPress. Three tool calls, one approval, no download and no re-upload.
- Clips arrive with a title written from the hook, a transcript and a viral score, so the agent can choose and caption without watching the footage.
- Live streams can be clipped while they are still on air; the agent books the highlights for the next morning before the stream ends.
- Every clip is already hosted, so
schedule_posttakes its id directly. Nothing moves through your laptop.
submit_to_clipspeedPaste the link. ClipSpeed starts the job and returns a project id.check_clipsPoll with the project id. Back come the finished 9:16 clips with titles, transcripts, viral scores and preview links.schedule_postPass the clip id, the platforms, a caption and a time. Paperclip shows the plan with preview: true, you say yes, it books.generate_image or generate_videoDescribe the shot. ClipSpeed runs it on the model that fits (Seedance, Kling, Veo, Nano Banana Pro, GPT Image and others) and quotes the credits first.wait_for_generationReturns the hosted result link and a preview the agent can show you.schedule_post with media_urlThe result link goes straight into the booking on WordPress. The caption, the time and the file are approved together.The other half nobody else has
Generate the image, then post it
A product shot for Instagram, a 16:9 announcement graphic for X, a six-second opener before a clip: Paperclip can make an image with ClipSpeed's image and video models and book the result in the same reply. There is no separate design tool, no export, no upload page. The generated file is hosted, so media_url is the only thing the booking needs.
- The price in credits is quoted before anything renders, within the per-generation and daily caps you set in Settings.
- Results are previewed in the conversation, so you approve the picture and the post at once.
- Images post as JPG, PNG or WebP up to 25 MB; links are kept clickable.
What is Paperclip?
Paperclip is an open-source orchestrator that runs a company of AI agents with roles, budgets and schedules. Agents run on runtimes such as Claude Code or Codex. ClipSpeed's CLI and skill, which a Paperclip agent would install, are in progress; an agent on a runtime that supports MCP can add the ClipSpeed URL today.

WordPress and Paperclip: frequently asked questions
How do I publish to WordPress from Paperclip?
If the agent runs on Claude Code or Codex, register the ClipSpeed MCP server on that runtime with an API key header. Give the marketing agent a standing task: clip the week's recordings, plan posts, preview, book on approval. Connect WordPress in ClipSpeed (or ask Paperclip for a connect link; it is private and valid for ten minutes), then describe the post in plain language. Paperclip reads the WordPress rules, drafts within them, shows the plan and books on your yes. WordPress is on the roadmap; until the badge changes, the booking is refused with a plain message.
What can Paperclip post to WordPress through ClipSpeed?
Publish posts with a featured image, categories and tags to your WordPress sites. WordPress takes text and image posts.
Which WordPress settings can Paperclip control?
The fields in the settings reference above: title, text, categories / tags, site, media_url, scheduled_at, preview. Mention any of them in plain language ("unlisted", "tomorrow at 9", "preview first") and Paperclip sets the matching field before it books.
Do I need a WordPress API key or developer account?
No. You connect WordPress to ClipSpeed once through WordPress's own sign-in, and Paperclip talks to ClipSpeed over OAuth. No WordPress developer key, bearer token or password is pasted anywhere.
How many WordPress posts a day can Paperclip schedule?
Planned: Text posts on WordPress are at least 60 minutes apart, up to 5 a day. When a time is taken, the booking is refused with the next open slot rather than moved. Ask for preview to see a day's plan and the remaining cap before anything is booked.
Can Paperclip post to WordPress from a script or a cron job?
Yes. Paperclip's headless mode (standing task) runs one prompt and exits, and the ClipSpeed server registered on that machine does the booking. On a runner with no browser, authenticate with a ClipSpeed API key header. Keep preview on so the run reports a plan before it books.
Is posting to WordPress from Paperclip different from Hermes Agent?
The booking is identical: the same rules, the same calendar, the same refusals. What differs is where you work. Paperclip: your server. Hermes Agent: your server, one agent framework.
