axtolab

Axtolab AI Connector for WordPress connects your WordPress site to AI agents like Claude, ChatGPT, and any MCP-compatible tool. AI agents can safely create drafts, edit content, manage media, work with taxonomies, and integrate with Yoast SEO — all through a secure gateway with per-connection tool access, sensitive-action consent, and Roll Back / Undo on every write.
How it works: The plugin adds a REST API gateway to your WordPress site. A lightweight MCP server runs on your local machine and translates AI tool calls into WordPress REST requests. The plugin enforces per-connection permissions and allow / ask first / block consent for sensitive actions, validates requests, captures every write into a Roll Back / Undo changelog, and logs actions.
<h4>Key Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Roll Back / Undo on every write — every AI-driven change captures a before/after snapshot. Revert any tool call with one click from the Logs & Roll Back admin page.</li>
<li>Sensitive-action consent — choose whether publishing, trash/delete/restore, WooCommerce price/coupon updates, and AI image actions run automatically, ask first, or are blocked for each connection.</li>
<li>Content Management — Create, edit, and manage posts, pages, and custom post types. Clone existing content as drafts. View and restore revisions. Generate shareable preview links.</li>
<li>Media Library — Upload images from URL, local file, or drag-and-drop portal. Search and browse existing media. Set featured images. Insert, replace, and remove inline images.</li>
<li>WooCommerce Tools — When WooCommerce is active, list products and orders, update product prices, bulk-adjust prices, and create guarded coupons with Roll Back capture.</li>
<li>Stock Photos — Search and import free stock photos from Unsplash and Pexels with automatic attribution.</li>
<li>Yoast SEO — Read SEO and readability scores. Update focus keyphrase, SEO title, and meta description. Preview rendered meta tags.</li>
<li>Authors & Taxonomies — Assign authors from an allowlist. Create and assign categories, tags, and custom taxonomy terms.</li>
<li>Per-connection privilege model — every MCP connection authenticates as a WordPress user via Application Password. The connection’s capability set determines which AI tools can be called; the user’s WP role determines which objects they can act on. Both layers must allow an action for it to succeed. The plugin never creates WordPress users — admins create the Application Password under their own (or a dedicated) WordPress profile and paste it into the connection wizard. Sensitive-action behavior controls can require approval or block actions after the tool permission check passes. Allowlist-driven content type and taxonomy controls. Rate limiting on authentication endpoints.</li>
<li>Two authentication methods — Application Passwords (for Desktop AI clients) and OAuth 2.1 with PKCE (for Web AI clients like ChatGPT and Claude Web).</li>
<li>Upload Portal — Drag-and-drop media uploads with time-limited tokens. No WordPress login required for the upload session.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Available MCP Tools</h4>
The connector exposes a categorized tool surface to MCP-compatible AI clients. All tools are documented and discoverable via the standard MCP <code>tools/list</code> JSON-RPC method.
<ul>
<li>Search & Discovery — <code>wp_find_content</code> (filter + search), <code>wp_list_content_types</code>, <code>wp_get_content</code>, <code>wp_site_info</code>, <code>wp_getting_started</code></li>
<li>Content Authoring — <code>wp_create_draft</code>, <code>wp_update_content</code>, <code>wp_publish_content</code>, <code>wp_clone_content</code>, <code>wp_get_preview_link</code></li>

<li>Connection Introspection — <code>wp_get_my_capabilities</code> returns the calling connection’s capability groups, named preset (if any), and the resolved tool list — letting AI agents plan work without trial-and-error.</li>
<li>Custom Post Type support — Default allowlist accepts <code>post</code>, <code>page</code>, <code>featured_item</code>. To accept ANY registered public post type (e.g. WooCommerce <code>product</code>, EDD <code>download</code>, custom CPTs), set the allowlist to <code>["*"]</code> in MCP Gateway settings. <code>wp_list_content_types</code> then expands the wildcard to the live list of public types on the site.</li>
<li>Audit Log — every tool call is recorded with timestamp, source, and redacted parameters</li>
<li>Rate Limiting — per-IP token bucket on every authenticated endpoint</li>
</ul>

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>Service: <a href="https://wordpress.org/" rel="ugc">WordPress.org</a></li>
<li><a href="https://wordpress.org/about/terms-of-service/" rel="ugc">Terms of Use</a></li>
<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.
