## Description

Agentdesk Site Operations connects MCP-capable AI clients (such as Claude, Cursor,
and VS Code) to your WordPress site through a fixed, predefined set of operations
built on WordPress’s own APIs. Ask in plain language and your agent performs the
operation.

**This plugin does not edit files, execute code, run arbitrary SQL, or install other
plugins.** Every action is one of a fixed set of reviewed operations that go through
core WordPress functions (wp_insert_post, wp_update_post, the WooCommerce CRUD APIs,
and Elementor’s own document meta). There is no file manager and no code editor.

Content is filtered with wp_kses_post, and the Elementor HTML and Shortcode widgets
are rejected, unless the acting user holds the unfiltered_html capability – the 
same rule WordPress itself applies in the block and classic editors.

#### What you can do

 * **Content** – create, edit, publish, search, and organize posts, pages, and custom
   post types; manage categories, tags, and comments.
 * **Media** – browse the library, import images from a URL, and edit titles/alt
   text.
 * **WooCommerce** – create, update and delete products; update order status and
   add order notes; list variations, coupons, customers and sales reports.
 * **Elementor** – list pages, read and update the Elementor document (structured
   widget data), add headings/text/buttons/containers, and build pages from a brief.
 * **SEO** – read and update Yoast / Rank Math SEO meta for posts you can edit.
 * **Site settings** – read and update a small allowlist of general options (site
   title, tagline, date/time format, posts per page). Site address, home URL and
   admin email are deliberately excluded.
 * **Maintenance** – flush page and object caches; detect installed integrations.
 * **Read & audit** – site info, health checks, environment diagnostics, user and
   plugin/theme inventory, debug configuration, and an action log.

The plugin does not create users, change roles, or modify user passwords.

#### Predefined operations, by design

Every tool is a fixed operation with a typed input schema. The agent cannot write
files, edit theme or plugin code, run raw database queries, or install software.
This keeps the surface small, reviewable, and safe.

#### Safety

 * Authentication – a bcrypt-hashed API key or a WordPress Application Password 
   is required on every request.
 * Capability checks – each operation runs as a real WordPress user. Content operations
   are checked per object (you cannot edit or delete an item you could not edit 
   in wp-admin), and internal or block-theme template post types are never writable.
 * Safe mode (default on) – blocks permanently destructive operations such as deleting
   posts, media, products and comments.
 * Power mode (default off) – required for sensitive operations: site settings, 
   and overwriting or importing an Elementor document.
 * Rate limiting – a per-IP flood guard plus a per-key request budget.
 * Audit log – every action is recorded.

#### Self-hosted

Runs entirely on your site. No external service and no account: nothing is sent 
to us or to any third-party service. Your own AI client connects directly to your
site.

## Installation

 1. Install and activate Agentdesk Site Operations.
 2. Go to Settings > Agentdesk Site Operations and click Create API Key (shown once–
    copy it).
 3. Add the endpoint and key to your MCP client:
     https://your-site.com/wp-json/agentdesk-
    site-operations/v1/mcp
 4. Enable Power Mode only when you need site settings or Elementor document overwrites;
    keep Safe Mode on.

## FAQ

### Does it edit files or run code?

No. There is no file editor, file manager, or code execution. Every action is a 
fixed, predefined operation through WordPress’s own APIs.

### Does it send my data anywhere?

No. It is entirely self-hosted; your agent connects to your site and nothing leaves
your server.

### Which AI clients work with it?

Any client that speaks MCP over HTTP with a Bearer token, such as Claude, Cursor,
and VS Code.
