WordPress 6.9 introduced the [Abilities API](https://developer.wordpress.org/apis/abilities-api/): a standard way for plugins to describe what they can do, with typed inputs and outputs and permission checks, so that AI assistants, [Model Context Protocol (MCP)](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/) clients and automation tools can discover and use them. Core registers only a few read-only abilities, such as site and environment information. Seeb Abilities fills the gap with the everyday content-management tasks. Seeb Abilities is best used with the free [MCP Adapter](https://wordpress.org/plugins/mcp-adapter/) plugin, which turns these abilities into MCP tools that [Claude](https://claude.ai/), [ChatGPT](https://chatgpt.com/), [Cursor](https://cursor.com/), [VS Code](https://code.visualstudio.com/) and other MCP clients can use directly. Every ability: * Uses WordPress’s own functions (`wp_insert_post()`, [`wp_update_post()`](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/wp_update_post/),` wp_set_object_terms()` and so on), so hooks, caches, revisions and other plugins behave exactly as they do in the admin. * Checks the current user’s [capabilities](https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/roles-and-capabilities/) for that specific object. An agent connected as an Author can edit their own posts, but not someone else’s and not the site settings. * Declares input and output schemas, and annotations (read-only, destructive, idempotent) that clients use to decide when to ask before acting. * Is available through the [WordPress REST API](https://developer.wordpress.org/rest-api/)(`/ wp-json/wp-abilities/v1/`) and, when the MCP Adapter plugin is active, as MCP tools. #### 100 new abilities All abilities use the `seeb-abilities/` namespace and are grouped into categories. **Content** (posts, pages and public custom post types) * `posts-query`: find posts by type, status, author, search term, taxonomy term or date * `post-get`: get a post with its content, terms and featured image * `post-create`: create a post, page or custom post type item * `post-update`: update title, content, excerpt, status, slug, author, date or featured image * `post-delete`: move a post to the trash, or delete it permanently with `force` * `post-revisions`: list the [revisions](https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/revisions/) of a post, pattern, navigation menu or customized template * `revision-restore`: restore any of these to an earlier revision * `post-restore`: restore a post from the trash * `post-duplicate`: copy a post, with its terms, featured image and the custom fields you’re allowed to edit, as a new draft * `post-meta-get`: read a post’s custom fields registered with [`register_post_meta()`](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/register_post_meta/) * `post-meta-update`: update a post’s registered custom fields * `content-search`: search across all public post types at once * `posts-bulk-update`: change the status, author, comments, stickiness or terms of up to 100 posts at once * `content-replace`: find and replace text across the site (for example an old phone number or domain), as a dry run first * `revision-diff`: see what changed between two revisions * `page-tree-get`: get all pages as a nested tree of parents and children * `post-lock-check`: check whether someone else is editing a post right now * `trash-empty`: permanently delete trashed items, optionally only those trashed a while ago **Taxonomies** * `terms-query`: find categories, tags or custom taxonomy terms * `term-create`: create a term * `term-update`: rename a term or change its slug, description or parent * `post-set-terms`: set or append a post’s terms * `term-delete`: delete a term * `terms-merge`: merge duplicate terms into one, moving their posts **Blocks and patterns** ([block editor](https://developer.wordpress.org/block-editor/)) * `block-types-list`: list the registered blocks, with their category, title and description * `block-type-get`: get one block’s attributes, supports, styles and variations, so an agent can write valid block markup * `post-blocks-get`: get a post’s content as a tree of blocks, each with its path( for example `2.0` for the first block inside the third) * `block-insert`: insert one or more blocks at a path, or before or after a block * `block-update`: change a block’s attributes or inner content without touching the rest of the post * `block-move`: move a block to another position * `block-duplicate`: copy a block, with its inner blocks, right after it * `embed-check`: check whether a YouTube, Vimeo, Spotify or other URL can be embedded, and get the embed block markup * `block-remove`: remove a block and its inner blocks * `blocks-replace`: replace every block of one type, or with a given attribute value, across a post (for example turn all `core/quote` blocks into `core/pullquote`) * `blocks-validate`: check block markup before saving and report unknown blocks, invalid attributes and broken nesting * `block-usage-find`: find the posts, pages, templates and patterns that use a block type * `patterns-list`: list registered and [synced patterns](https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/reusable-blocks/), with their categories * `pattern-insert`: insert a pattern into a post, either as a synced reference or as a copy of its blocks * `pattern-create`: save blocks as a new synced or unsynced pattern * `pattern-update`: update a synced pattern, which changes it everywhere it is used * `pattern-delete`: move a pattern to the trash, or delete it permanently All block edits are saved as revisions, so any change can be undone with `revision- restore`. The first change to a theme template creates a customized copy, which ` template-reset` removes again. **[Site editor](https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/site-editor/)** (block themes) * `templates-list`: list templates and template parts, and whether they are customized * `template-get`: get a template or template part as blocks * `template-update`: edit a template or template part

Permanent deletion needs `force: true` and is marked as destructive. * Settings can only be read and changed from a fixed allowlist. Arbitrary options are never touched. * Protected post meta (keys starting with `_`) cannot be written. * Password-protected content is only returned to users who can edit it. * No ability runs PHP or SQL, edits files, or installs, updates or activates plugins. * Users are created with a random password that is never returned; they set their own via email. Roles can only be given if the connected user may assign them, and nobody can change their own role. * Find and replace runs as a dry run unless told otherwise, saves a revision of each changed post, and skips posts whose block structure would break. * Query results are paginated with a maximum page size. * Site owners can turn off any ability, or a whole category, under **Settings Seeb Abilities**. #### For developers * Filter `seeb_abilities_ability_args` to change an ability’s arguments before it is registered. * Filter `seeb_abilities_enabled` to enable or disable abilities in code. * Filter `seeb_abilities_allowed_settings` to change which settings `settings-get` and `settings-update` can access. ## Screenshots [[ ## Installation 1. Install and activate the plugin from **Plugins Add New**, or upload the `seeb- abilities` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`. 2. Recommended: install the free [MCP Adapter](https://wordpress.org/plugins/mcp-adapter/) plugin to use the abilities from MCP clients like Claude, Cursor or VS Code. 3. Optional: go to **Settings Seeb Abilities** to turn off abilities you don’t want to expose. Abilities run as the user who is authenticated, for example with an [application password](https://make.wordpress.org/core/2020/11/05/application-passwords-integration-guide/). Use an account that only has the role the agent actually needs. ## FAQ ### Do I need the MCP Adapter plugin? No and yes. The abilities are registered with the WordPress Abilities API and can be used through its REST endpoints or from PHP. To use them from AI assistants and MCP clients, we recommend the free [MCP Adapter](https://wordpress.org/plugins/mcp-adapter/) plugin. ### Can an AI agent break my site with this? An agent can do only what the connected user’s role allows, and only through the listed abilities. It cannot run code, change arbitrary options or manage plugins. Deleting content moves it to the trash by default. For extra safety, connect with an Editor or Author account and turn off the categories you don’t need. ### Does the plugin send data to any external service? The plugin makes no external requests of its own, with these exceptions: `media- sideload` downloads the file from the URL given in the request, `embed-check` asks the provider of the URL (for example YouTube) for its embed details, as the block editor does, `updates-get` with `refresh` checks WordPress.org for updates as the Updates screen does, and `internal-links-check` requests pages of your own site to find the ones that return “not found”. `user-create`, `user-password-reset-send` and `privacy-request-create` send emails through your site, as the admin screens do. When the plugin is activated, it asks whether you want to opt in to email notifications about security and feature updates, educational content and occasional offers, through [Freemius](https://freemius.com/). Only if you click “Allow & Continue”, your name, email address, site URL, WordPress and PHP versions and the list of plugins and themes are sent to Freemius. If you click “Skip”, nothing is sent and the plugin works the same. When you deactivate the plugin, you can optionally tell us why; that answer is only sent if you submit it. See the Freemius [privacy policy](https://freemius.com/privacy/) and [terms of service](https://freemius.com/terms/). ### Does it work with custom post types and taxonomies? Yes, if they are registered with `show_in_rest` set to true. Custom post types are subject to their own capabilities. ### Why does it require WordPress 6.9? The Abilities API was added to core in WordPress 6.9 (see the [Abilities API announcement](https://make.wordpress.org/core/2025/11/10/abilities-api-in-wordpress-6-9/)). On older versions the plugin does nothing. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/128a524c3d061dc4a055ec94e2cfed81d97281b4e8938ed75fdbe97914b2c6aa? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Very helpful!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/very-helpful-1619/)󠁿 [flowdee](https://profiles.wordpress.org/flowdee/) October 29, 2026 neat idea and helps a lot nowadays!
