Features
The feature list from the plugin's own readme on WordPress.org, trimmed to the essentials.
- Every action listed and labelled Read, Write or Delete, with its own switch. Changes save instantly
- Write and delete start switched off. You turn on exactly what you want, and nothing else
- Your WordPress roles still apply. An assistant can never do more than the person who approved it
- New actions arrive switched off, so a plugin update never quietly widens what an assistant can reach
- Revoke any connection at any time

Fantastic plugin for developers
This plugin is the first time in months I've been exited about anything WordPress-related. I only just installed and tested it and I already cannot imagine developing without it.Thanks for your work, Mark Jansen.

a clean way to let ChatGPT actually do things in WordPress
I needed something to sit between ChatGPT/Claude and WordPress so end users could drive the site by just talking, like “create a project for this client” or “add this document” (based on the conversation context). I was dreading wiring up MCP and OAuth myself. Turns out I didn’t have to! My non-technical users connect their assistant by pasting one MCP URL and signing in with their normal WordPress account through oauth, and because of that, every action respects existing WordPress capabilities, so the AI can’t do anything the user couldn’t. Albert builds on the WordPress Abilities API, so I added my own AI-callable actions by writing a few small classes (id, description, input schema, permission callback) and they showed up as MCP tools right away and in Albert’s admin page with enable/disable toggles.

First! Great plugin to connect WordPress to GPT.
I was looking for a better way to give GPT access to my WordPress site. Previously I would allow it to connect using WP CLI over SSH, but it's hard to manage (scoped) permissions that way. With Albert I was able to allow my AI agent access to my WordPress sites with very granular permissions, so I could be sure it would not accidentally perform a destructive action. Installation was smooth. Plugin setting pages look clean. No PHP errors or notices in my logs. Glad I took the plunge and gave this plugin a try.
