AI Provider for Azure AI Foundry

AI Provider for Azure AI Foundry registers an AI provider with the WordPress 7.0 AI Client, enabling text generation, image generation, embeddings, and text-to-speech via the Azure AI Foundry Model Inference API.

Features

• AI Client integration — usable via wp_ai_client_prompt() and the Settings → Connectors page.
• OpenAI-compatible — uses the Azure AI Foundry /chat/completions endpoint.
• Capability detection — auto-detects deployed models and capabilities (text generation, chat history, image generation, embeddings, text-to-speech) by probing the Azure endpoint.
• Multiple endpoint types — supports Azure AI Services, Azure OpenAI, and Cognitive Services endpoints.
• Auto-detection — discovers all deployed models via POST-based probing. No manual model name or API version configuration needed.
• Custom authentication — sends the api-key header required by Azure.
• Endpoint validation — validates Azure endpoint URLs with inline error messages.
• Environment variable fallback — every setting can be overridden via environment variables or wp-config.php constants.
• Connectors page UI — custom connector with fields for API key and endpoint URL. Detected deployments and capabilities displayed as read-only chips.

Requirements

• WordPress 7.0 or later
• PHP 8.3+
• An Azure AI Foundry resource with a deployed model
