RockScout AI is a lightweight site assistant that helps you understand what’s happening on your WordPress site after launch.
Activity Tracker — Automatically logs plugin updates, theme changes, content edits, and user logins. Know exactly what changed and when.
Site Health Check — Shows WordPress version, PHP version, active plugins with update status, recent errors, and database info in one place.
AI Chat Assistant — Ask questions about your site in plain language. The AI uses your site’s activity log and health data to give relevant answers. Two ways to connect a provider: paste your API key directly in plugin settings (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini), or use the WordPress AI Client when running WordPress 7.0+.
AI Agent Integration — Registers WordPress Abilities for MCP-compatible AI agents (Claude Desktop, Cursor, etc.). Requires the MCP Adapter plugin.
<h4>Who is this for?</h4>
<ul>
<li>Agencies maintaining client sites — see what changed without doing forensics</li>
<li>Freelancers who hand off sites and want a lightweight safety net</li>
<li>Site owners who want to understand their WordPress site’s technical status</li>
</ul>
<h4>How it works</h4>
<ol>
<li>Install and activate the plugin</li>
<li>Activity logging and site health check start immediately — no configuration needed</li>
<li>(Optional) For AI chat: configure an AI provider (see “How do I set up AI chat?” below)</li>
<li>Ask questions like “What changed on my site this week?” or “Are any plugins outdated?”</li>
</ol>
<h4>External Services</h4>
No data is sent automatically. This plugin only contacts external services when you 
actively use the AI Chat feature and have configured an AI provider.
Option A — Direct API key (configured in RockScout AI → Settings):
When you paste an API key and send a chat message, your question and a summary of recent 
site activity are sent directly to the chosen provider’s API:
<ul>
<li>OpenAI — https://openai.com | <a href="https://openai.com/policies/terms-of-use" rel="nofollow ugc">Terms</a> | <a href="https://openai.com/policies/privacy-policy" rel="nofollow ugc">Privacy</a></li>
<li>Anthropic — https://www.anthropic.com | <a href="https://www.anthropic.com/legal/consumer-terms" rel="nofollow ugc">Terms</a> | <a href="https://www.anthropic.com/legal/privacy" rel="nofollow ugc">Privacy</a></li>
<li>Google Gemini — https://ai.google.dev | <a href="https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/terms" rel="nofollow ugc">Terms</a> | <a href="https://policies.google.com/privacy" rel="nofollow ugc">Privacy</a></li>
</ul>
Option B — WordPress AI Client (configured in Settings → Connectors, WordPress 7.0+):
Requests are routed through the WordPress AI Client to whichever provider plugin you have 
installed. The same provider links above apply depending on your chosen provider.
Data included in every AI request: your question, a summary of recent site changes, and 
basic site info (WordPress version, active plugins, theme name). No passwords, email 
addresses, or personal user data are transmitted.

<h3>How BitFire Compares</h3>
<h3>BitFire vs Wordfence</h3>
Wordfence is a solid product with a large team writing custom rules for known vulnerabilities. One important difference is how BitFire handles automated traffic:
<ol>
<li>Bot blocking – WordPress cannot reliably distinguish human traffic from automated traffic on its own. BitFire is designed to identify and block malicious bots before they can exploit or infect your site.</li>
</ol>
If you use Wordfence, we strongly recommend using the paid version.

<h3>Why Do Other Plugins Focus So Much on Cleaning Up Malware?</h3>
Good question. Have you noticed how much other security plugins charge for malware removal and how much of their marketing focuses on finding infections?
BitFire focuses on keeping malware off your site so you do not need to pay someone to remove it.
<h3>Privacy / Monitoring / Data Collection</h3>
We take your privacy seriously. Here is exactly what BitFire does with your data:
<ol>
<li>
Traffic inspection. BitFire inspects web traffic to your site to identify threats. Sensitive data, such as passwords and credit card numbers, is automatically replaced with redacted in logs. You can add additional fields to filter in the settings.
</li>
<li>
Error reporting. If BitFire encounters a software error, it can send a report to our development team so we can fix it in a future release. No visitor data is included in these reports.
</li>
<li>
Malware hash checking. BitFire sends small numeric fingerprints, known as 64-bit hashes, of your files to our hash server to compare them against our database of known-good files. For example, a file might hash to the number <code>812612388126487</code>. We never receive your actual file contents, and file hashes are not stored on our servers.
</li>
<li>
Local data storage. All log data and configuration files are stored locally on your server in a hidden, randomly named directory under <code>wp-content/uploads/</code>. This directory is protected by an <code>.htaccess</code> file and is not accessible from the web.
</li>
</ol>
