## What it does

This plugin exposes WordPress as an HTTP MCP endpoint with 179 tools based on the WordPress 6.9 Abilities API. The connected model works strictly within an assigned user role, such as Editor or Contributor. Admin keys are never used. By default, every tool remains disabled.

Safety mechanisms include a read-only switch and an enforced draft mode for manual verification on the Dashboard. The server logs every call straight into your database. Denied requests are logged too. Raw text prompts are never stored.

The plugin requires WordPress 6.9 or newer alongside PHP 7.4. If your server strips the `Authorization` header, the connection will drop. You can identify this issue using the built-in Connection Doctor tool.
