The Managed Way To Replace Make

Not quite, because the plugin is free, with no upgrade path. Every feature ships in the free version: every tool, OAuth for ChatGPT and Claude, profile-based access, and encrypted credential storage. It is published on WordPress.org under GPL v3, there is no paid tier, and there is no license key to buy.

You still get the connector’s own tools, covering posts, pages, media, comments, users, taxonomies, menus, plugins, themes, and settings. That is enough for most editorial and administrative work. Abilities are additive. Nothing breaks or nags you when a plugin offers none, and the tool list simply reflects what is actually installed on the site.

Yes, in two ways. Profiles control which tools are exposed to a given connection, from read-only through to full access, and you can define your own. Underneath that, the WordPress role of the account you authenticate with sets a hard ceiling. Connect as an editor and no profile will let the agent install a plugin.

No data goes to us or to any third party. Requests travel between your MCP client and your own site’s REST API endpoints, and responses come back the same way. Your credentials and your content stay on your server. The only outside party that sees your content is the AI client you chose to connect, on the terms you agreed with them.

Not a key from us, because there is nothing to sign up for. For ChatGPT and Claude you sign in to your own site and approve the connection, with no credentials to generate first. For Cursor, Windsurf and other editors you use a WordPress Application Password created in your own user profile. Both are issued by your site and revoked from your site, with no account in between.

WordPress 5.8 or higher and PHP 7.4 or higher. Version 2.2.0 is tested up to WordPress 7.1.2, and tools from other plugins need WordPress 6.9 or later. Application Passwords require your site to be served over HTTPS, which most hosts now do as standard.

Yes. Installation is straightforward, but deciding which profile each connection should get, and which account those connections authenticate as, is worth thinking through on a site that matters. We can configure it as part of a managed plan, or handle it as a one-off. Tell us what you want the agent to be able to do.

The adapter from the WordPress project is a developer library for exposing abilities as MCP tools, which means writing code. This plugin is a finished product you install and configure in the admin, with its own WordPress tools already built, OAuth for ChatGPT and Claude, and access profiles that also cover any plugin’s abilities. They serve different audiences. If you are shipping your own tools, use the adapter.

It is a standard way for an AI assistant to reach a system and do things inside it, rather than only talk about it. Without one, you copy text back and forth by hand. With one, the assistant can read your posts, create a draft, update a product, or check a setting directly. This plugin turns your WordPress site into that kind of server.

Model Context Protocol, usually shortened to MCP, is an open standard published by Anthropic that defines how AI clients connect to outside tools and data. Because it is a shared standard rather than one vendor’s private format, a single server works with many clients. That is why the same plugin serves ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and Windsurf without a separate integration for each one.

Yes. It is published on the WordPress Plugin Directory under GPL v3, and there is no paid tier, no trial period, and no feature held back behind a license key. Install it on as many sites as you like. If you want us to handle setup and ongoing management, that is a separate service you can choose, not a requirement.
