Enable Abilities for MCP

Enable Abilities for MCP gives you full control over which WordPress Abilities are available to AI assistants through the MCP (Model Context Protocol) Adapter.

WordPress 6.9 introduced the Abilities API, allowing external tools to discover and execute actions on your site. This plugin extends that functionality by registering a comprehensive set of content management abilities and providing a simple admin interface to toggle each one on or off.

Features

• 32 abilities organized in 6 categories: Core, Read, Write, SEO, Utility, and Custom Post Types
• WooCommerce compatible — manage products, orders, and any custom post type with full meta field access (_price, _sku, _stock, etc.)
• Admin dashboard with toggle switches for each ability
• Per-ability control — expose only what you need
• Secure by design — proper capability checks, input sanitization, and per-post permission validation
• WPCS compliant — fully passes WordPress Coding Standards (phpcs)
• MCP-ready — all abilities include show_in_rest and mcp.public metadata
