What it does
The WordPress project's own package for exposing a site's Abilities API entries to AI agents as MCP tools, resources and prompts. Installed as a plugin or Composer package on WordPress 6.9 or later, it creates a default MCP server on the site that clients reach over HTTP at a REST route, or over stdio through WP-CLI on a local install. Abilities stay private until a developer marks them public, and the default server offers meta-tools to discover, inspect and run them. Developers can run several servers with their own transports, permission checks, error handling and logging.
