Albert

Every well-run site deserves a proper butler. Albert stands at the door of your WordPress site, ready to welcome AI assistants like Claude and ChatGPT and put them to work.
<h4>An open door for AI assistants</h4>
Install Albert, grant an AI assistant access, and it can start managing your site — writing and editing posts, organizing media, moderating comments, and handling day-to-day tasks. No custom code, no complicated setup. Albert takes care of the introductions.
<h4>A well-stocked service tray</h4>
Albert presents AI assistants with a curated set of abilities — the tasks they’re permitted to carry out on your site. When plugins like WooCommerce or Advanced Custom Fields are active, Albert extends the service with additional abilities tailored to each one.
<h4>The butler manages the household</h4>
Not every guest needs access to every room. From the admin panel, you decide exactly which abilities are on the tray and which stay behind closed doors. You remain in charge — Albert just makes sure your instructions are followed.
<h4>Proper credentials at the door</h4>
Every AI assistant must present proper credentials before Albert lets them in. Connections are secure, scoped, and fully under your control.
<h3>Privacy Policy</h3>
Albert does not collect, store, or transmit any user data to external servers. All authentication tokens are stored locally in your WordPress database. When you authorize an AI assistant, that assistant will have access to perform actions on your WordPress site according to the permissions you grant. You control which abilities are enabled and can revoke any session at any time.

Albert – The AI Butler


I was looking for a better way to give GPT access to my WordPress site. Previously I would allow it to connect using WP CLI over SSH, but it's hard to manage (scoped) permissions that way. With Albert I was able to allow my AI agent access to my WordPress sites with very granular permissions, so I could be sure it would not accidentally perform a destructive action. Installation was smooth. Plugin setting pages look clean. No PHP errors or notices in my logs. Glad I took the plunge and gave this plugin a try.


First! Great plugin to connect WordPress to GPT.


I needed something to sit between ChatGPT/Claude and WordPress so end users could drive the site by just talking, like “create a project for this client” or “add this document” (based on the conversation context). I was dreading wiring up MCP and OAuth myself. Turns out I didn’t have to! My non-technical users connect their assistant by pasting one MCP URL and signing in with their normal WordPress account through oauth, and because of that, every action respects existing WordPress capabilities, so the AI can’t do anything the user couldn’t.



Albert builds on the WordPress Abilities API, so I added my own AI-callable actions by writing a few small classes (id, description, input schema, permission callback) and they showed up as MCP tools right away and in Albert’s admin page with enable/disable toggles.


a clean way to let ChatGPT actually do things in WordPress

At your service — Albert connects AI assistants to your WordPress site so they can manage content, handle tasks, and keep things running smoothly.

MCP Content Manager Lite turns your WordPress site into a first-class Model Context Protocol (MCP) server so AI assistants like Claude, ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Windsurf, Continue, JetBrains AI Assistant or Cowork can manage your content using natural language.
It is not a wrapper around the REST API. The plugin auto-discovers every CPT, taxonomy, ACF group, custom field and registered meta on your site and exposes them as MCP abilities, so your AI client instantly understands the structure of your specific install — without configuration files, without code, without YAML.
<h4>Why MCP Content Manager Lite over other MCP plugins</h4>
Most WordPress MCP plugins ship 10–20 hardcoded tools that wrap a fixed list of REST endpoints. MCP Content Manager Lite ships 60+ abilities out of the box, plus trust, onboarding and observability features that the rest of the ecosystem treats as paid extras:
<ul>
<li>Auto-discovery, not hardcoded tools. Your AI client sees your real schema — CPTs from CPT UI, ACF, JetEngine, Pods, Toolset; taxonomies; statuses; shortcodes; permalink structure — generated at runtime. No YAML files to maintain.</li>
<li>OAuth 2.1 with PKCE built in. No application passwords. The plugin runs its own OAuth 2.1 server with Dynamic Client Registration so Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and Copilot connect with one click.</li>
<li>Granular per-client allowlists. Each OAuth client has its own <code>allowed_abilities</code> list, editable visually. Give Claude full access, give a webhook integration only <code>read-post</code> and <code>list-recent-posts</code>.</li>
<li>AI image generation with Google Gemini. Generate up to three images per call, save them to the Media Library, set as featured image. Imagen, multiple aspect ratios, 2K/4K and image editing remain Premium.</li>
<li>Rate limiting per client_id, Activity Log with 30-day retention, MCP annotations on every ability and a public /health endpoint for uptime monitoring.</li>
<li>Get Started wizard + Connect tab with copy/paste config for Claude Desktop, ChatGPT, Cursor, Windsurf, Continue and JetBrains AI.</li>
<li>Universal SEO read across Yoast, Rank Math, AIOSEO, The SEO Framework, SureRank, SEOPress, Slim SEO and Squirrly. One ability, eight plugins.</li>
<li>Universal multilingual read across Polylang, WPML and TranslatePress.</li>
<li>WooCommerce read-only when WooCommerce is active.</li>
<li>Spanish translation bundled. Coexistence with Premium with no conflicts.</li>
</ul>
No code. No configuration. Install, activate, run the wizard, paste the URL into your MCP client.

<h3>External Services</h3>
This plugin connects to the following external services:
<h4>WordPress.org API</h4>
The system diagnostics feature tests whether your server can make outgoing HTTP requests (both GET and POST) by connecting to the WordPress.org core version check API. This is used only when the user explicitly requests a system diagnostics report. The data sent is the WordPress version number. No personal data is transmitted.
<ul>

<li><a href="https://wordpress.org/about/privacy/" rel="ugc">Privacy Policy</a></li>
</ul>
<h4>OAuth 2.1 Authentication</h4>
This plugin implements an OAuth 2.1 server so that MCP clients (Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot, Cursor, etc.) can authenticate with your site. The OAuth flow happens entirely between the MCP client application and your own WordPress site. No data is sent to any third-party service by the plugin during authentication. The MCP client connects directly to your site’s REST API endpoints.
<h4>Google Gemini (optional, only when image generation is configured)</h4>
If — and only if — you configure a Google Gemini API key in Settings > MCP Content Manager Lite > Settings, the <code>generate-image</code> and <code>set-featured-from-prompt</code> abilities call Google’s Gemini API at <code>generativelanguage.googleapis.com</code>. The data sent is: the prompt provided by the AI client, the model id you have configured (default <code>gemini-2.0-flash-exp</code>) and the API key. The response (a base64-encoded image) is saved to the Media Library and the prompt is stored as attachment meta. No data is sent to Google when the API key is empty or the abilities are not invoked.
