The problem

The AI knows. The plugin lets it act.

Without the plugin
✕You ask it to write the post. You copy the text.
✕You paste into WordPress. You set up SEO manually.
✕You ask about a user. You look them up in the admin.
✕You translate each post and link the versions by hand.
✕You hunt for missing alt text, one image at a time.
✕You install and configure one MCP server per plugin.
✕Every action goes through your keyboard.
With the plugin
✓Tell it to publish. It publishes.
✓Updates meta titles across 50 posts at once.
✓Checks a student's progress in LearnDash.
✓Creates the translation and links it in Polylang or WPML.
✓Audits alt text across the whole media library.
✓One connection for Elementor, Bricks and more.
✓Your job is to review. The AI executes.

Third-party abilities

One plugin to rule them all.

Elementor MCP, Bricks MCP, Fluent Forms and dozens more plugins now register their own abilities with the WordPress Abilities API. Enable Abilities for MCP finds them automatically and lists them in the same dashboard, grouped by plugin, with the same on/off toggles. Your AI gets one connection, not one MCP server per plugin.

One plugin to rule them all,one plugin to find them,one connection to bring them alland in one dashboard bind them.
  • No extra MCP server to install or configure per plugin
  • One authentication: OAuth, Bearer Token or Application Password
  • Turn off any third-party ability and it stops being exposed site-wide
