MCP Tracker is an admin-only WordPress plugin designed to monitor and log MCP (Model Context Protocol) requests made to the Abilities API on your WordPress site. 
If you are using the Abilities API to power AI-driven tools or MCP-based integrations, MCP Tracker gives you complete visibility into how those tools interact with your REST endpoints â€” without modifying or interfering with request flow. 
The plugin automatically detects MCP requests (identified via the <code>Mcp-Session-Id</code> header), records detailed request and response data, and presents everything in a structured, filterable interface inside WordPress Admin. 
Whether you’re debugging Abilities API integrations, auditing MCP tool usage, or analyzing response behavior, MCP Tracker provides the observability layer you need.

For years I was using Notepad++ to search strings in files, but I could not filter what type of files to search from file types - for example, php, html, css, etc... Also, I had to spend a few seconds to select the location of the folders to search from my hard drive, at least for local development. 



This plugin allows me to not only filter which files to search, but also for live sites, I can search on the spot without having to download the themes/plugins if I don't have copies of them on my pc. And at an added bonus, it works really fast.



Not necessarily a must use tool, but a great help and time saver for developers and alike.


It works well - too well !!!

A powerful search tool that helps developers quickly find text strings within theme and plugin files.
