<h3>External Services</h3>
This plugin includes a Node.js bridge script that connects MCP clients (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.) to your WordPress site’s REST API endpoints. The bridge facilitates communication between the MCP client and your WordPress installation.
What the service is and what it is used for: 
The wordpress-mcp-bridge is a Node.js script that acts as a communication bridge between MCP-compatible AI clients and your WordPress site’s REST API. It translates MCP protocol requests into WordPress REST API calls and returns the responses to the AI client.
What data is sent and when: 
When you use an MCP client (like Claude Desktop) with this plugin, the bridge sends the following data to your WordPress site’s REST API endpoints: 
* Your WordPress username and Application Password (for authentication) 
* MCP protocol requests (tool calls, resource requests, prompts) 
* Content data when creating or updating WordPress posts, pages, media, etc. 
* This data is sent every time you interact with WordPress through the MCP client
Where the data is sent: 
All data is sent to YOUR OWN WordPress site’s REST API endpoints at: 
* <code>https://yoursite.com/wp-json/mountdev-ai-mcp-connector/v1/messages</code> (main MCP endpoint) 
* <code>https://yoursite.com/wp-json/mountdev-ai-mcp-connector/v1/oauth/*</code> (OAuth endpoints for ChatGPT)
Important notes: 
* No data is sent to any third-party external services 
* All communication is between the MCP client and your own WordPress installation 
* Your WordPress credentials and data remain on your own server 
* The plugin does not transmit any data to external services operated by the plugin author or any third parties
<h3>Security</h3>
<ul>
<li>OAuth 2.0 with PKCE – Enhanced authorization flow for ChatGPT</li>
<li>AES-256-CBC Encryption – Client secrets encrypted at rest</li>
<li>Token Expiration – Access tokens expire after 1 hour</li>
<li>Refresh Tokens – Valid for 30 days with automatic renewal</li>
<li>Authorization Codes – Expire after 10 minutes</li>

MountDev AI MCP Connector

Transform your WordPress site into an AI-powered Model Context Protocol (MCP) server. Exposes WordPress functionality for AI agents.

Mehul Gohil

Aculect AI Companion is a secure MCP connector for WordPress. It lets approved AI assistants such as ChatGPT, Claude, Codex, and OpenAI-compatible tools work with your WordPress content, media, comments, and site information through permission-aware workflows.
Instead of switching between WordPress admin screens, you can ask your AI assistant in plain English to draft a post, update a page, review comments, upload media, inspect safe site details, or prepare long-form content using WordPress blocks.
WordPress remains the source of truth. Aculect AI Companion checks the connected WordPress user’s permissions before every action, lets administrators choose which abilities are available, and keeps risky write actions behind configurable controls.
<h4>What is MCP for WordPress?</h4>
MCP stands for Model Context Protocol. In Aculect AI Companion, MCP gives supported AI assistants a structured, permission-controlled way to request WordPress actions. The assistant does not receive direct database access. It can only use the enabled tools exposed by WordPress and approved by an administrator.
<h4>Why use Aculect AI Companion?</h4>
<ul>
<li>Connect WordPress to ChatGPT, Claude, Codex, and OpenAI-compatible MCP clients</li>
<li>Create, update, and organize WordPress content through controlled AI workflows</li>
<li>Work with posts, pages, custom post types, categories, tags, comments, and media</li>
<li>Use block-aware content workflows instead of raw custom HTML</li>
<li>Review AI activity with sanitized audit logs</li>
<li>Control access globally, by connection, by role, and by WordPress user permissions</li>
<li>Use diagnostics to verify OAuth, MCP, endpoint, and environment readiness</li>
</ul>
Setup is designed to be simple:
<ol>
<li>Copy your connection URL from AI Companion > Connect.</li>
<li>Open your AI tool and add a new connector.</li>
<li>Paste the URL when prompted.</li>
<li>Approve the connection on the screen that appears.</li>
</ol>
After approval, Aculect AI Companion checks the connected WordPress user’s permissions before every action. You can also choose exactly what your AI assistant can do and disconnect assistants at any time.
<h4>Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Create, edit, and publish posts, pages, and supported custom post types</li>
<li>Plan and draft long-form block content for WordPress</li>

<h3>Third Party Services</h3>
Aculect AI Companion does not send site data to an external service on activation, page load, cron, or without a site administrator connecting an AI assistant.
When a site administrator copies the connection URL into an external AI assistant and approves the connection screen in WordPress, that assistant can request the enabled abilities. Depending on the enabled abilities and the connected WordPress user’s permissions, requested data may include post titles, post content, excerpts, slugs, statuses, authors, dates, permalinks, category and tag names, media metadata, comments, and safe site settings such as site name, description, URLs, locale, timezone, date format, time format, permalink structure, and active theme name.
The external service that receives this data is the AI assistant selected and configured by the administrator. Aculect AI Companion’s built-in setup UI includes links for:
<ul>
<li>ChatGPT by OpenAI: https://chatgpt.com/, terms at https://openai.com/policies/terms-of-use/, and privacy policy at https://openai.com/policies/row-privacy-policy/</li>
<li>Claude by Anthropic: https://claude.ai/, terms at https://www.anthropic.com/legal/consumer-terms, and privacy policy at https://www.anthropic.com/legal/privacy</li>
</ul>
Administrators should review the terms and privacy policy for the AI assistant they connect. Aculect AI Companion controls the WordPress-side approval and permissions checks; it does not control how a connected external assistant processes data after the administrator authorizes access.
