Run AI features in WordPress against models on your own hardware. No third-party AI service, no per-token billing, and no content leaving your network. #### Features * Connect to any OpenAI-compatible base URL, local or remote (defaults to Ollama’s` http://localhost:11434/v1`). * Autodetect available models from the server’s `/models` endpoint, or specify models manually. * Setup card on the Connectors settings screen with a one-click connection test. * Best-effort detection of the running backend (Ollama, vLLM, or LM Studio), swapping in the brand’s name and icon on the connector card once detected. * Optional API key (bearer token) for servers that require authentication. * Custom HTTP headers for reverse proxies and gateways. * Advanced options for reasoning models: disable thinking blocks, and an R1-style message format that folds the system prompt into the first user message (needed for DeepSeek-R1). * Context length override and a vision/multimodal support toggle. #### Requirements * The WordPress AI Client must be available (WordPress 7.0+). * A running OpenAI-compatible inference server reachable from your web server. ### Developer Hooks This plugin provides several filters for other plugins to dynamically extend its functionality: * **`connectors_ai_openai_compatible_servers_request_data`**: Filters the completions request body payload before it is sent to the endpoint. Passed arguments: `$data`( array), `$modelId` (string). * **`connectors_ai_openai_compatible_servers_request_headers`**: Filters HTTP headers for all request pathways. Passed arguments: `$headers` (array), `$path` (string),` $method` (string). * **`connectors_ai_openai_compatible_servers_detect_provider`**: Adds or overrides detection checks when probing server origins. Passed arguments: `$detected_type`( null|string), `$base_url` (string), `$headers` (array), `$probe_args` (array). * **`connectors_ai_openai_compatible_servers_model_options`**: Modifies the `SupportedOption` array for a resolved model. Passed arguments: `$options` (array), `$modelId` ( string), `$mode` (string: ‘manual’ or ‘autodetect’). * **`connectors_ai_openai_compatible_servers_model_capabilities`**: Modifies the` CapabilityEnum` array for a resolved model. Passed arguments: `$capabilities`( array), `$modelId` (string), `$mode` (string: ‘manual’ or ‘autodetect’). ### Credits The Ollama, vLLM, and LM Studio brand icons shown when a server is detected are from [LobeHub’s lobe-icons](https://github.com/lobehub/lobe-icons), used under the MIT license. ## Installation 1. Install and activate the plugin. 2. Go to Settings Connectors and locate “OpenAI Compatible”. 3. Click “Set up”, enter your server’s base URL (including `/v1`), and an API key if needed. 4. Click “Test Credentials” to verify the connection and detect models, then Save. ## FAQ ### Which servers are supported? Anything that implements the OpenAI-compatible `/v1/models` and `/v1/chat/completions` endpoints: Ollama, LM Studio, vLLM, llama.cpp server, LocalAI, and many others. ### Do I need an API key? Only if your server requires one. Local servers like Ollama usually don’t; leave the field empty or use a placeholder value. ### Can my server run on a different machine? Yes. Enter any base URL reachable from your WordPress host. The plugin allows requests to the configured base URL even when it resolves to a local/private address. ### Does this send my content to a third party? No. Requests go only to the server base URL you configure. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “AI Provider for OpenAI Compatible Servers” is open source software.
