Whether you’re connecting Claude, ChatGPT, a custom MCP server, or an OpenClaw agent, BotCreds gives you a one-click setup wizard that generates a properly scoped WordPress Application Password and logs every action the agent takes. **Why BotCreds?** Most AI agent setups require digging into wp-config, creating users manually, or sharing admin credentials. BotCreds removes all of that. Install, click, copy, paste— your agent is connected in under a minute. **Features:** * One-click connection setup under Settings BotCreds * Generates a secure, scoped Application Password for your AI agent or MCP client * Works with any agent that supports the WordPress REST API: Claude, ChatGPT, OpenClaw, n8n, Zapier, custom MCP servers, and more * User-level and site-level logging of agent actions — see exactly what your agent did and when * Displays credentials in ready-to-paste format (table and JSON) * Shows connection status, creation date, and last used date * One-click revoke with confirmation * Clean, modern admin UI using native WordPress styles * Proper security: nonces, capability checks, password shown only once **Compatibility:** * Works with the Model Context Protocol (MCP) * Compatible with all major AI agent frameworks * No third-party services or accounts required — everything stays on your site ## Installation 1. Upload the `botcreds-agent-access` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`. 2. Activate the plugin through the “Plugins” menu in WordPress. 3. Go to Settings BotCreds. 4. Click “Connect Agent” to generate your credentials. 5. Copy the credentials and paste them into your agent’s config. ## FAQ ### What is an Application Password? Application Passwords are a built-in WordPress feature (since 5.6) that let external tools authenticate against the REST API without using your main account password. They can be revoked at any time without affecting your login. ### What agents and tools does this work with? Any tool that supports HTTP Basic Auth against the WordPress REST API. This includes Claude (via MCP), ChatGPT plugins, OpenClaw, n8n, Zapier, Make, custom Python scripts, and more. ### What is MCP? The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard for connecting AI agents to external tools and data sources. BotCreds makes it easy to connect an MCP client to your site. ### Is the password stored anywhere? The plain-text password is shown once when created. WordPress stores only a hash, so the password cannot be retrieved later. If you lose it, revoke the old one and create a new connection. ### Can I have multiple agent connections? BotCreds manages one Application Password per user. Revoke the existing one before creating a new connection, or create additional passwords directly in your WordPress profile. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “BotCreds Agent Access” is open source software.
