The Best WordPress MCP Adapter
Exactly what was missing for the official WordPress MCP Adapter. It leverages the native Abilities API seamlessly, giving full granular control over which tools are exposed to Cursor or Claude Desktop. No bloated paywalls, no unnecessary overhead, completely open source and rock solid. It works out of the box without breaking existing setups. Huge respect to Fabio Montenegro for this work. A must-have for developers managing WordPress via LLMs! 5/5.

Great plugin to empower your MCP tools
This is a great plugin with very little features missing. Considering the fact that it's free, there's very little to complain about. Out of the box, the plugin acts as the missing link to superpower your AI tool of choice (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, etc.) -> once you installed and activated the plugin, they are now able to make plenty of changes on your website. The only features that are missing can easily be fixed by writing your own plugins (since you're very likely to use AI when you're using this plugin, this shouldn't be super hard for you), e.g. allowing the MCP to directly edit block editor templates / template parts. :-) Thank you for putting this out there, we recommended this excellent plugin in a video walkthrough on how to connect Claude Code with WordPress on our YouTube channel (I can link to it if you're interested).
