MAI Smart Assistant is a comprehensive AI integration plugin for WordPress that brings the power of artificial intelligence to your website. With support for multiple AI providers and a wide range of features, it’s designed to enhance your content creation, user engagement, and site automation.
<h4>Key Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Multi-Provider Support – Seamlessly integrate with OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, X.AI Grok, and Cohere</li>
<li>Intelligent Chatbot – RAG-based chatbot trained on your site content for accurate, context-aware responses, with optional streaming token-by-token replies</li>
<li>MCP Server for AI Agents – Expose your WordPress site to Claude Desktop, Cursor, ChatGPT Desktop and any Model Context Protocol client via 30 secure abilities. Per-token ability scoping lets you restrict each token to a subset (e.g. read-only, no deletes) — requires WordPress 6.9+; rest of the plugin works on 5.8+</li>
<li>Content Generation – AI-powered content creation throughout WordPress admin and frontend</li>
<li>Automation & Scheduling – Automated content creation and updates with flexible scheduling</li>
<li>Privacy & GDPR Controls – Dedicated Privacy tab with conversation retention auto-cleanup, IP/UA opt-out, optional consent gate, and native WordPress GDPR export / erase hooks</li>
<li>Analytics Dashboard – Comprehensive tracking of usage, costs, and performance metrics</li>
<li>Security First – Built with WordPress security best practices: proper sanitization, escaping, nonce verification, per-ability capability checks</li>
<li>Performance Optimized – Lazy-loaded chatbot widget (~5.8 KB launcher on page load instead of 30 KB), intelligent response caching, rate limiting, optimized database queries</li>
</ul>
<h4>Chatbot Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Streaming Responses – Token-by-token streaming so visitors see replies as they’re generated; auto-falls-back to non-streaming on hosts that buffer responses</li>
<li>Lazy-Loaded Widget – Only a small launcher script (~5.8 KB) is on the page until the visitor clicks; the full bundle loads on-demand to protect Core Web Vitals (INP)</li>
<li>RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) – Chatbot searches your site content to provide accurate answers</li>
<li>Content Search Integration – Automatically finds and presents relevant posts, pages, and products</li>
<li>Conversation History – Maintains context across multiple messages</li>
<li>Optional Consent Gate – Inline checkbox above the input field for GDPR-friendly sites; visitor must tick it before sending; persisted per-browser in localStorage</li>
<li>Customizable Appearance – Full color customization, custom avatars, and styling options</li>
<li>Mobile Responsive – Works perfectly on all devices</li>
<li>Optional Footer – “Powered by” footer is disabled by default; enable it only if you want to display custom branding</li>
</ul>
<h4>AI Agent / MCP Integration (NEW in 1.1.0)</h4>
The plugin acts as a Model Context Protocol server — connect Claude Desktop, Cursor, ChatGPT Desktop, Continue, Cline or any MCP client to your WordPress site and let it drive your content. Requires WordPress 6.9+ (Abilities API); on older versions the rest of the plugin keeps working unchanged and the MCP tab shows an info notice.
30 abilities, grouped by domain:
<ul>
<li>Posts (7) – get, list (paginated/filterable), create, update, delete (trash or permanent), duplicate, set featured image. <code>create-post</code> and <code>update-post</code> auto-import external <code><img></code> URLs into your media library so AI-generated posts aren’t broken hotlinks.</li>
<li>Taxonomies (6) – list taxonomies, list terms, create/update/delete terms, assign terms to posts. Works with categories, tags, and any custom taxonomy (product_cat for WooCommerce, etc.).</li>
<li>Comments (5) – list/get/create/update/delete. Also covers WooCommerce reviews — set <code>type: "review"</code> and <code>meta: {"rating": 5}</code> to write the exact shape WC reads from.</li>
<li>Media (3) – upload from URL (with MIME sniffing for extensionless CDN URLs), get attachment metadata, delete.</li>
<li>Site introspection (2) – list post types, get site info (URL, language, timezone, WP/PHP versions). No secrets returned.</li>
<li>Plugin-native (7) – search site content, generate AI text, index for RAG, list/run automation rules, list configured providers (no API keys returned), get analytics summary.</li>
</ul>
Security model:
<ul>
<li>Bearer-token authentication with SHA-256-hashed storage. Plaintext shown exactly once at creation, never again.</li>
<li>Three-layer permissions: (1) token validates at transport; (2) per-token ability allowlist — if the token wasn’t granted access to that specific tool, the AI client never sees it in <code>tools/list</code> and <code>tools/call</code> is rejected; (3) per-ability WordPress capability check runs against the user the token is bound to.</li>
<li>Destructive operations (delete-post / delete-term / delete-media / delete-comment / <code>force: true</code>) are MCP-annotated so client UIs prompt for confirmation.</li>
<li>Sideload helper blocks private/loopback IPs (RFC1918, 127.0.0.1, 169.254.169.254 cloud-metadata, etc.) to prevent SSRF, and caps download size at 25 MB.</li>
</ul>
The plugin admin includes step-by-step setup guides for Claude Desktop (incl. Microsoft Store install), Claude.ai web, ChatGPT Desktop, Cursor, Continue (VS Code/JetBrains), Cline, and a generic raw-HTTP section for custom integrations.

<li>Classic Editor Support – Seamless integration with the classic WordPress editor</li>
<li>WooCommerce Integration – Generate product descriptions, features, and marketing content</li>
<li>Multiple Content Types – Support for posts, pages, products, and custom post types</li>

* You are responsible for compliance with each provider’s terms of service 
* This plugin does not send any tracking or telemetry data to the plugin author
MCP Server endpoint (inbound — NOT an external service)
As of 1.1.0 the plugin exposes a Model Context Protocol server at <code>/wp-json/mai-smart-assistant/v1/mcp</code>. This endpoint is inbound only: AI desktop clients (Claude Desktop, Cursor, ChatGPT Desktop) connect to your WordPress site. No data is sent from your site to a third-party MCP host. The endpoint is disabled until you create a bearer token in MAI Smart Assistant → MCP. Each token is scoped at creation to Full access OR a subset of the 30 abilities. Every call is then gated by three layers: bearer token at transport, the per-token ability allowlist, and the WordPress capability of the user the token is bound to. Requires WordPress 6.9 or later (Abilities API) — on older WordPress versions the MCP feature silently no-ops and the rest of the plugin keeps working unchanged.
Bundled third-party PHP libraries (no Composer required)
The MCP server feature is built on two open-source libraries from the WordPress project, vendored unmodified into the plugin’s <code>/vendor/wordpress/</code> directory. We use our own PSR-4 autoloader to map their namespaces — no Composer install is required, no upstream code is patched. Source attribution and licenses are also documented in <code>vendor/README.md</code>.
WordPress/mcp-adapter 
* Source: https://github.com/WordPress/mcp-adapter 
* License: GPL-2.0-or-later (compatible with this plugin’s GPLv2+) 
* Pinned upstream commit: <code>7cc42a0c1de1937bea6ca9cea56d1b0818e94632</code> (2026-05-20, release 0.5.0) 
* Purpose: Bridges the WordPress 6.9 Abilities API to the Model Context Protocol JSON-RPC transport 
* Data transmitted: None — runs entirely as in-process PHP code; no outbound HTTP
WordPress/php-mcp-schema 
* Source: https://github.com/WordPress/php-mcp-schema 
* License: GPL-2.0-or-later 
* Pinned upstream version: <code>v0.1.1</code> 
* Purpose: PHP Data Transfer Objects for MCP protocol message types — required runtime dependency of mcp-adapter 
* Data transmitted: None — schema/validation classes only
<h3>Privacy Policy</h3>
MAI Smart Assistant is designed with privacy in mind:
<ul>
<li>Local Data Storage – All conversations and analytics are stored locally in your WordPress database. Nothing is sent to the plugin author.</li>
<li>API Communications – The plugin communicates directly with your chosen AI providers using your API keys; data passes through their privacy policies (linked in External Services above), not ours.</li>
<li>No External Tracking – We don’t collect or transmit any data to external services beyond the AI providers you configure. No analytics, no telemetry.</li>
<li>MCP Server is Inbound Only – When MCP is enabled, AI clients connect to your site over an authenticated endpoint. No data is sent from your site to a third-party MCP host.</li>
<li>Conversation Retention – The Privacy tab lets you set an automatic daily purge for chatbot conversations older than N days (default 90; set to 0 to keep forever).</li>
<li>IP / User Agent Opt-Out – The Privacy tab lets you disable storing visitor IP and User Agent on new chatbot rows; existing rows are left untouched.</li>
<li>Optional Consent Gate – You can require visitors to tick a consent checkbox before the chatbot accepts their first message. Acceptance is stored client-side (localStorage), not server-side.</li>
<li>GDPR Export and Erase – The plugin registers the standard WordPress <code>wp_privacy_personal_data_exporters</code> and <code>wp_privacy_personal_data_erasers</code> hooks. Tools → Export / Erase Personal Data will include the visitor’s chatbot conversations when you look them up by email.</li>
<li>Admin Purge Action – A one-click “Purge all conversations” button in the Privacy tab for full data wipes.</li>
<li>User Control – You have full control over what content gets indexed (Training tab) and which features are enabled (Chatbot, Content, Automation tabs).</li>
<li>Third-Party Services – See “External Services” section above for details on the AI provider APIs the plugin connects to.</li>
