<p>Aculect AI Companion is a secure MCP connector for WordPress. It lets approved AI assistants such as ChatGPT, Claude, Codex, and OpenAI-compatible tools work with your WordPress content, media, comments, and site information through permission-aware workflows.</p>
<p>Instead of switching between WordPress admin screens, you can ask your AI assistant in plain English to draft a post, update a page, review comments, upload media, inspect safe site details, or prepare long-form content using WordPress blocks.</p>
<p>WordPress remains the source of truth. Aculect AI Companion checks the connected WordPress user’s permissions before every action, lets administrators choose which abilities are available, and keeps risky write actions behind configurable controls.</p>
<h4>What is MCP for WordPress?</h4>
<p>MCP stands for Model Context Protocol. In Aculect AI Companion, MCP gives supported AI assistants a structured, permission-controlled way to request WordPress actions. The assistant does not receive direct database access. It can only use the enabled tools exposed by WordPress and approved by an administrator.</p>

<h3>Third Party Services</h3>
<p>Aculect AI Companion does not send site data to an external service on activation, page load, cron, or without a site administrator connecting an AI assistant.</p>
<p>When a site administrator copies the connection URL into an external AI assistant and approves the connection screen in WordPress, that assistant can request the enabled abilities. Depending on the enabled abilities and the connected WordPress user’s permissions, requested data may include post titles, post content, excerpts, slugs, statuses, authors, dates, permalinks, category and tag names, media metadata, comments, and safe site settings such as site name, description, URLs, locale, timezone, date format, time format, permalink structure, and active theme name.</p>
<p>The external service that receives this data is the AI assistant selected and configured by the administrator. Aculect AI Companion’s built-in setup UI includes links for:</p>
<ul>
<li>ChatGPT by OpenAI: https://chatgpt.com/, terms at https://openai.com/policies/terms-of-use/, and privacy policy at https://openai.com/policies/row-privacy-policy/</li>
<li>Claude by Anthropic: https://claude.ai/, terms at https://www.anthropic.com/legal/consumer-terms, and privacy policy at https://www.anthropic.com/legal/privacy</li>
</ul>
<p>Administrators should review the terms and privacy policy for the AI assistant they connect. Aculect AI Companion controls the WordPress-side approval and permissions checks; it does not control how a connected external assistant processes data after the administrator authorizes access.</p>
<h3>Development</h3>
<p>The production package ships built assets and Composer dependencies. Development manifests such as <code>composer.json</code>, <code>composer.lock</code>, and <code>package.json</code> are intentionally excluded from release ZIP files. Generated files under <code>build/</code> are not committed to the source repository; release automation generates them before packaging.</p>
<p>For source code, build tooling, and exact dependency manifests, use the public GitHub repository:</p>

<p>Security policy:</p>

<p>From the repository checkout, use the Node.js version in <code>.nvmrc</code> and rebuild assets with:</p>

<p>Hierarchical Documentation allows admins to create public pages of documentation and organize them hierarchically using a tree listing the pages where each page can be dragged to its desired position. It supports syntax highlighting for blocks of code and <a href="http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/" rel="nofollow ugc">Markdown</a>.</p>
<p>For an example of Hierarchical Documentation in action, see <a href="http://wpmvc.org/" rel="nofollow ugc">wpmvc.org</a>.</p>
<p>Please note that the default behavior is to display the documentation page that has an ID of 1 as the site’s homepage. This can be changed by editing the first line of <code>hierarchical-documentation/app/config/routes.php</code>. (See the <a href="http://wpmvc.org/documentation/62/routing/" rel="nofollow ugc">WP MVC documentation page on routing</a> for details.)</p>
<p>This plugin depends on <a href="https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-mvc/" rel="ugc">WP MVC</a>, so that plugin needs to be installed and activated before this one is activated.</p>
<p>If you’d like to grab development releases, see what new features are being added, or browse the source code please visit the <a href="http://github.com/tombenner/hierarchical-documentation" rel="nofollow ugc">GitHub repo</a>.</p>
