ByteCoreStack - MCP Connector for AI Tools turns your WordPress site into a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server. Connect an MCP-compatible AI assistant and let it work with your site through structured WordPress tools. Use familiar requests to draft or update posts, review WooCommerce data, check SEO metadata, moderate comments, or inspect site health. Actions follow the connected WordPress user's capabilities.<\/p>\n\n
The plugin includes 335+ tools for WordPress core and optional integrations. These cover publishing and site administration, WooCommerce, SEO, forms, page builders, backups, CRM, analytics, translation, membership, community, and security. Integration tools appear when their supporting plugin is active, so the available tools match your site.<\/p>\n\n
Connect Claude.ai, Claude Desktop, ChatGPT, Cursor, or another compatible MCP client. Guided setup shows client-specific instructions and your endpoint, with a read-only prompt to verify the connection. Hosted AI clients generally require a publicly reachable HTTPS site.<\/p>\n\n
Authentication uses OAuth 2.0 with PKCE; there is no shared API key. The server stays disabled until you enable it. Requests are rate-limited, and you can optionally restrict access by IP address. Tool calls are recorded in the local Activity log with sensitive-looking values redacted. You can enable an additional confirmation step for supported destructive actions and revoke client access from the plugin settings.<\/p>\n\n
Use the admin dashboard to check calls and connected clients, browse available tools, and review recent activity. Connection health diagnostics help identify common setup problems, including HTTPS, permalink, firewall, and OAuth discovery issues. The plugin also provides a light or dark admin appearance and keeps its interface scoped to the plugin's own screens.<\/p>\n\n
No plugin-author telemetry is collected. See External Services<\/strong> for details about optional outbound requests.<\/p>\n\n This plugin does not send telemetry to the plugin author. Most features run on your WordPress site. Two tool groups can contact external services when explicitly invoked by an authenticated MCP client:<\/p>\n\n These requests are made only when the corresponding tool is called. Activity records remain in your own WordPress database.<\/p>\n\n\n Your site must be publicly reachable over HTTPS for most hosted AI clients. A local site can be used with a compatible client running on the same computer, but cloud AI services cannot reach localhost.<\/p>\n\n\n Yes. No paid tiers, license keys, usage caps, or feature paywalls.<\/p><\/dd>\n MCP lets AI clients call tools provided by other services. This plugin exposes WordPress actions for content, orders, SEO, and site health, subject to the connected user's capabilities.<\/p><\/dd>\n Guides are included for Claude.ai, Claude Desktop, ChatGPT, and Cursor. Other clients need OAuth and Streamable HTTP support; compatible older clients can use legacy SSE. Follow the in-plugin guide.<\/p><\/dd>\n Enable the server in Connect & settings<\/strong>, choose your client, copy the endpoint, and follow the guide to authorize. Hosted clients generally require public HTTPS. Keep OAuth credentials private.<\/p><\/dd>\n The total includes optional integrations. Clients see tools for your site; WooCommerce, ACF, forms, SEO, backups, CRM, page builders, and other tools appear when their supported plugin is active.<\/p><\/dd>\n Integrations include WooCommerce, Easy Digital Downloads, ACF, Elementor, Bricks, Divi, Gravity Forms, WPForms, Ninja Forms, Formidable Forms, Contact Form 7, UpdraftPlus, FluentCRM, BuddyPress, bbPress, and The Events Calendar. SEO tools support Yoast SEO, Rank Math, All in One SEO, SEOPress, Slim SEO, and The SEO Framework. Availability depends on active plugins and configuration.<\/p><\/dd>\n Actions follow the connected user's capabilities. The plugin cannot create users; role changes require promote_users. You can require confirmation for supported destructive actions. Activity is stored locally with sensitive-looking values redacted.<\/p><\/dd>\n No plugin-author analytics or telemetry is collected. Activity stays in your database. Only explicitly called install\/update or image-download tools contact external services; see External Services<\/strong>.<\/p><\/dd>\n The MCP endpoint is limited to 60 requests per minute per IP; client registration has a separate limit. An optional IP allowlist is available. On multisite, settings and activity are per site.<\/p><\/dd>\n Run Connection health \u2192 Run diagnostics<\/strong>. Confirm the server is enabled, use HTTPS, and avoid Plain permalinks. Save Settings \u2192 Permalinks<\/strong> once if needed. Security plugins, firewalls, CDNs, or hosts can restrict REST API access or block Remove the connector from the AI client, then use Reset OAuth State<\/strong> in the plugin to revoke registered clients. Add the endpoint again and authorize. This disconnects all clients for that site.<\/p><\/dd>\n Developers can register tools with bcs_mcp_register_tool() or use the bcs_mcp_tools filter. Callbacks should validate input and enforce WordPress capabilities.<\/p><\/dd>\n The uninstall routine removes the plugin's database tables, options, and transients. Export any activity data you want to keep before uninstalling.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\nExternal Services<\/h3>\n\n
