It gives you a native AI chat right inside wp-admin, and it turns your site into a Model Context Protocol( MCP) server so external AI clients can work with your content and media, and read information about your plugins and themes. The AI works through a permission-based tool registry. Every action it can take requires the appropriate WordPress capability, and actions that require approval pause until you approve them. #### Watch it in action Smart MCP: AI Chat for WordPress + MCP Server for Claude, ChatGPT & Cursor How to Connect a Telegram Bot to WordPress: Chat with Your Site’s AI (Smart MCP, Free) #### What you can do * **Chat with your site**: a chat workspace in wp-admin with streaming responses, markdown rendering and conversation history. Ask the AI to write a post, update a page, moderate a comment or pull up site info. * **Connect Claude, ChatGPT and more**: your site becomes an MCP server. Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and other MCP clients connect with a single API key, no extra configuration. * **Manage content and media**: posts, pages, comments, media, menus and taxonomies, all callable by the AI through one registry. * **Block editor and Site Editor**: read and edit the blocks of any post or page, use block patterns, and update block theme templates and template parts. Every change keeps a revision. * **Revisions and custom fields**: list, compare and restore revisions, read and update public custom fields of posts and terms, and find and replace text inside a post. * **Comments**: read, write, reply and moderate comments in bulk. * **Elementor pages**: build pages with native Elementor widgets, and set the page template from chat. * **Inspect plugins and themes**: search installed and WordPress.org plugins and themes, and read details, compatibility and abandoned-plugin info from chat. * **Telegram bot**: chat with your site from Telegram through a bot. * **Multiple AI providers**: OpenAI, Anthropic (Claude), Google Gemini, OpenRouter and any OpenAI-compatible endpoint. API keys are encrypted at rest with sodium and never shown again. #### How approvals work When the AI wants to run a medium or high-risk tool, such as creating a post, moderating a comment or uploading media, the action pauses and appears as an approval request in the chat. Approve it in one click and the AI continues. You stay in control of everything the AI does. #### Security first Every available tool requires the appropriate WordPress capability, and actions that require approval must be explicitly approved before they run. #### Smart MCP Pro The free plugin is complete on its own. Smart MCP Pro is an optional add-on, sold separately on wpsmarto.com, for people who want the AI to help run and maintain the whole site. It adds 56 tools under the same permission and approval rules: * Install, update, roll back and remove plugins and themes, and run core updates * Malware scan and quarantine, plugin vulnerability checks and database backups * Users and roles, site settings, theme editing and maintenance mode * File manager, PHP and WP-CLI tools for developers * A Skills library and built-in skills for 20+ popular plugins and themes * Administrator access for external MCP clients through an application password [Compare Free and Pro](https://wpsmarto.com/smart-mcp/#compare) ### Source All JavaScript and CSS in this plugin is shipped as readable, un-minified source code. The chat workspace is implemented in `assets/admin/chat.js` and `assets/admin/ chat.css`, and the admin pages use the readable files under `assets/admin/`. There are no compiled or minified assets in the plugin. ### External services Smart MCP connects to third-party services only when you configure them and only for the features you enable. Your API keys are stored encrypted and are sent only to the service you chose. #### AI providers The AI chat sends your messages, tool definitions and tool results to the AI provider you select on the **AI Providers** page. This is required for the chat to work. Supported providers and their privacy policies: * **OpenAI**: [Privacy policy](https://openai.com/policies/privacy-policy), [Terms of use](https://openai.com/policies/terms-of-use) * **Anthropic (Claude)**: [Privacy policy](https://www.anthropic.com/legal/privacy), [Terms of service](https://www.anthropic.com/legal/consumer-terms) * **Google Gemini**: [Privacy policy](https://policies.google.com/privacy), [Terms of service](https://policies.google.com/terms) * **OpenRouter**: [Privacy policy](https://openrouter.ai/privacy), [Terms of service](https://openrouter.ai/terms) What is sent: your chat messages, the tool definitions available to the model, and the results of tool calls. This happens each time you send a message in the chat. No data is sent to an AI provider unless you have configured and selected that provider. #### Telegram If you enable the Telegram bot, the plugin sends and receives messages through the Telegram Bot API at `api.telegram.org`. This is required for the Telegram channel to work. It sends your bot token, chat ID and message content. See the [Telegram privacy policy](https://telegram.org/privacy) and [Terms of service](https://telegram.org/tos). #### WordPress.org plugin and theme directory When you search for or read details about plugins and themes from chat, the plugin queries the public WordPress.org API at `api.wordpress.org` for metadata such as name, version, ratings and compatibility. It sends only the plugin or theme slug. It does not download or install anything. See the [WordPress.org privacy policy](https://wordpress.org/about/privacy/) and [Terms of service](https://wordpress.org/about/terms/). #### MCP clients When you connect an external MCP client (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, etc.), the client connects directly to your site’s MCP endpoint. The plugin does not relay your data through any third-party server. The connection uses the credentials you generate in the plugin. ## Screenshots [⌊Chat page: ask in plain language and the AI writes, edits and publishes content on your site.

Add your API key on the **AI Providers** page. Keys are encrypted at rest and never shown again. ### What MCP clients can connect? Any client that supports the Model Context Protocol, for example Claude Desktop, Claude Code or Cursor. Enable external access in Settings, generate an API key, then connect to `https://your-site.com/wp-json/smart-mcp/v1/mcp` (or use the discovery file `https://your-site.com/wp-json/smart-mcp/v1/.well-known/mcp.json`). ### What can external MCP clients do? External MCP clients are limited to content work: posts, pages, Elementor and block editor design, media, comments, taxonomies, store content and read-only site information. They cannot install, activate or update plugins and themes, manage users, change site settings or modify site code. External access is off by default and only works after you turn it on and generate a credential on the **Connect** page. By default, requests from an external client run as a non-administrative user who can edit posts (for example an Editor). You can choose that account, or create a dedicated Editor account, under **Smart MCP > Connect > Account used by AI clients**. ### My site only has an administrator account. Can AI clients still edit pages? Yes. On **Smart MCP > Connect**, tick the confirmation box under “Use my administrator account” and turn it on. AI clients then create and edit content under your name, but stay limited to the same content tools an Editor can use: plugins, themes, users, settings and site code remain out of reach. Every action is recorded in the Audit Log, and you can turn it off at any time. ### Is this safe? Every available tool requires the appropriate WordPress capability, and actions that require approval must be explicitly approved before they run. ### Can I chat from Telegram? Yes. Set up a Telegram bot on the **Telegram Bot** page, and you can chat with your site from Telegram. ### Does it work on multisite? Not yet. Multisite support is planned. ### Is there a Pro version? Yes. Smart MCP Pro is an optional add-on that installs next to this plugin and adds tools for managing and maintaining the whole site. Nothing in the free plugin is locked or limited, and the free plugin keeps working the same with or without Pro. See the [Free and Pro comparison](https://wpsmarto.com/smart-mcp/#compare). ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Smart MCP – AI Chat for WordPress, Connect Claude, ChatGPT & AI Agents” is open source software.
