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, permission-controlled gateway with 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 permissions, 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>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>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. Confirmation tokens required for publish, trash, and restore operations. 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>Trash & Revisions — <code>wp_trash_content</code>, <code>wp_restore_content</code>, <code>wp_list_revisions</code>, <code>wp_restore_revision</code></li>
<li>Media — <code>wp_search_media</code>, <code>wp_get_media</code>, <code>wp_update_media</code>, <code>wp_set_featured_image</code>, <code>wp_upload_media_from_url</code></li>
<li>Inline Images (Gutenberg-aware) — <code>wp_insert_inline_image</code>, <code>wp_replace_inline_image</code>, <code>wp_remove_inline_image</code></li>
<li>Authors & Taxonomy — <code>wp_list_authors</code>, <code>wp_assign_author</code>, <code>wp_list_terms</code>, <code>wp_create_term</code>, <code>wp_assign_terms</code></li>
<li>Yoast SEO — <code>wp_get_yoast_analysis</code>, <code>wp_update_yoast_metadata</code>, <code>wp_get_yoast_head_preview</code></li>
<li>Stock Photos — <code>wp_search_stock_photos</code>, <code>wp_import_stock_photo</code> (Unsplash + Pexels with auto-attribution)</li>
<li>Image Providers — <code>wp_generate_image</code>, <code>wp_list_image_providers</code>, <code>wp_confirm_image</code> with site-owner supplied provider API keys</li>
<li>Upload Portal — <code>wp_create_upload_session</code>, <code>wp_get_upload_session</code> (drag-and-drop with time-limited tokens)</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>

<h4>Getting Started</h4>
<ol>
<li>Install and activate the plugin</li>
<li>Go to AI Connector > Connections in wp-admin</li>

Axtolab AI Connector

Let AI agents read, draft, edit, and publish WordPress content safely. One-click Roll Back on every write.

BuiltByTanin

My Site Hand (AI) is the ultimate bridge between your WordPress site and your favorite AI tools (like Claude Desktop, Cursor, and VS Code).
Think of it as giving your AI assistant a secure, virtual “hand” to directly type into your WordPress admin, draft posts, manage products, check site health, and optimize SEO—eliminating the hassle of endless copy-pasting.
Built on the open standard Model Context Protocol (MCP) developed by Anthropic (the creators of Claude), this plugin securely exposes safely-gated capabilities (Abilities) to your AI clients so they can interact with your site using simple natural language commands.
<h3>🚀 What You Can Do with My Site Hand:</h3>
<ul>
<li>Write & Edit Content – Ask Claude to draft, edit, format, or publish posts and pages directly on your site.</li>
<li>AI-Driven SEO Audits – Let your AI scan Yoast or RankMath metadata, optimize it for targeted keywords, and update titles/descriptions instantly.</li>
<li>WooCommerce Store Management – Ask your AI to list low-stock items, draft product listings, check recent orders, or summarize sales analytics.</li>
<li>Site Health & Diagnostics – Let the AI inspect PHP error logs, check loopback status, or look up site details to debug issues.</li>
<li>Zero-Config Automated Setup – No manual editing of hidden JSON config files. Copy a single command from your WordPress dashboard, paste it into your terminal, and Claude connects automatically!</li>
<li>Total Safety & Security – All tokens are SHA-256 hashed. You can toggle specific abilities (like writing or deleting) on/off with simple switches, and monitor everything the AI does in real-time with the built-in Audit Log.</li>
</ul>
<h3>📦 Included Modules:</h3>
<ol>
<li>Content Manager (9 tools — Posts, Pages, and Custom Post Types)</li>
<li>SEO Power-Tools (6 tools — Compatible with Yoast SEO & RankMath)</li>
<li>Diagnostics & Health (7 tools — Error log viewing, cron jobs, system details, loopback checks)</li>
<li>Media Manager (6 tools — Media library listing, alt-text updates, attachment details)</li>
<li>User Management (5 tools — List, create, update, and delete users)</li>
<li>WooCommerce Store Layer (12 tools — Products, Orders, Coupons, and Analytics — requires WooCommerce)</li>
</ol>
<h3>⚠️ Important Requirements (Honest & Transparent):</h3>
<ul>
<li>Node.js: The automated desktop bridge (<code>mcp-remote</code>) requires Node.js installed on your local computer to run.</li>
<li>SSL/HTTPS: For security, your site must run on HTTPS so your API tokens remain encrypted in transit.</li>
<li>Administrator Access: You must be an administrator to generate API tokens and toggle module permissions.</li>
</ul>
<h3>External Services</h3>
<h4>Link Checker (SEO Module)</h4>
When the check-broken-links ability is called via the MCP API, this plugin sends HTTP HEAD requests to URLs found in your post content to verify they are reachable. No personal user data is transmitted — only a standard HTTP request is made to each URL being checked. This is triggered only when explicitly called by an authorized API token holder.
No data is sent to any third-party analytics or tracking service by this plugin.
