Clicking it downloads the adapter from: ``` https://github.com/WordPress/mcp-adapter/releases/latest/download/mcp-adapter.zip ``` This is the official plugin from the WordPress GitHub organisation. The download is triggered only by an explicit admin click — nothing is downloaded automatically. #### WDS License Server This plugin connects to an external license validation service **only when a Pro license key is entered**. **Service:** WDS License Server, operated by Wallstrdev (https://wallstrdev.de) **When it is called:** – When you save a Pro license key under Settings WDS MCP Setup License – Once per day (in the background on admin_init) to revalidate the key **What is sent:** – Your license key – Your site domain (e.g. example.com) **What is NOT sent:** post content, user data, personally identifiable information, or site configuration. **Why:** To confirm the license key is valid for your domain and determine your plan tier (free vs. pro). **Data policy:** [wallstrdev.de/privacy-policy/](https://wallstrdev.de/privacy-policy/) Free users (no license key entered) never trigger any external HTTP request. #### Google Search Console API The Pro abilities `site-kit/get-top-queries` and `site-kit/get-page-performance` call the Google Search Console API directly on behalf of the site owner. **Service:** Google Search Console API, provided by Google LLC (`https://searchconsole. googleapis.com`) **When it is called:** Only when an AI agent explicitly invokes the `site-kit/get- top-queries` or `site-kit/get-page-performance` Pro ability. Requires the Google Site Kit plugin to be installed, activated, and connected to Search Console. **What is sent:** – Your Search Console property URL (your site’s domain) – Query parameters: date range, dimensions (query/page), row limit – An OAuth 2.0 Bearer token retrieved from the Site Kit plugin’s stored credentials — no token is stored or transmitted by this plugin **What is NOT sent:** post content, user data, passwords, or any personally identifiable information beyond the site URL. **Why:** To retrieve search query and page performance data from Google Search Console so the AI agent can analyse your organic search traffic. **Google Terms of Service:** https://developers.google.com/terms **Google Privacy Policy:** https://policies.google.com/privacy #### Google Analytics Data API The Pro abilities `site-kit/get-top-pages`, `site-kit/get-page-performance`, and` site-kit/get-traffic-overview` call the Google Analytics Data API directly on behalf of the site owner. **Service:** Google Analytics Data API, provided by Google LLC (`https://analyticsdata. googleapis.com`) **When it is called:** Only when an AI agent explicitly invokes one of the above Pro abilities. Requires the Google Site Kit plugin to be installed, activated, and connected to a Google Analytics 4 property. **What is sent:** – Your GA4 numeric property ID – Query parameters: date range, metrics (sessions, pageviews, etc.), dimensions (pagePath, sessionDefaultChannelGroup, etc.), row limit – An OAuth 2.0 Bearer token retrieved from the Site Kit plugin’s stored credentials — no token is stored or transmitted by this plugin **What is NOT sent:** post content, visitor PII, passwords, or any data beyond the analytics query parameters listed above. **Why:** To retrieve traffic and engagement metrics from Google Analytics 4 so the AI agent can summarise your site’s performance. **Google Terms of Service:** https://developers.google.com/terms **Google Privacy Policy:** https://policies.google.com/privacy ## Installation 1. Install and activate the [WordPress MCP Adapter](https://github.com/WordPress/mcp-adapter) plugin first. 2. Upload the `wds-mcp-content-manager` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/` or install via the WordPress plugin screen. 3. Activate the plugin in **WP Admin Plugins**. 4. Go to **Settings WDS MCP Setup** and copy your MCP endpoint URL. 5. Add the endpoint to your AI client (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, etc.). #### Connect with Claude Code ``` claude mcp add wordpress --url https://your-site.com/wp-json/mcp/v1 ``` Replace `https://your-site.com` with your WordPress site URL. ## FAQ ### Do I need a paid license to use this plugin? No. All core content abilities (posts, pages, categories, tags) work without a license. A Pro license unlocks WooCommerce, Elementor, Media Library, and Polylang abilities. ### Which AI clients are supported? Any MCP-compatible client: Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, and others. The plugin uses the standard Model Context Protocol so it works with any compliant client. ### Does this plugin require WooCommerce or Elementor? No. Those plugins are optional. Their abilities only appear when the corresponding plugin is installed and active. ### Is my data sent to any external server? Only if you activate a Pro license key. See the “External Services” section below for details. Free users make no external calls. ### Where do I get a Pro license? At [wallstrdev.de/product/wds-mcp-content-manager-pro/](https://wallstrdev.de/product/wds-mcp-content-manager-pro/). During checkout you enter the domain where the plugin is installed; a license key is emailed to you after payment. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “WDS MCP Content Manager” is open source software.

The builder now lifts PHP time and memory limits for the scan, frees post/ meta caches between batches to bound memory, and fetches taxonomy relationships in chunks. * Fix: Internal-link extraction falls back to a regex parser when the PHP DOM extension( DOMDocument) is unavailable, instead of fataling. * Fix: Build failures now return the actual error message (and a save-failure is reported explicitly when the graph exceeds the database max_allowed_packet) rather than a generic “tool failed” response, so issues are diagnosable. #### 3.10.2 * Fix: WordPress.org deployment now publishes only the clean plugin build. The release pipeline previously deployed the whole repository to the SVN trunk (build tooling, docs, and a nested copy of the plugin), which prevented the stable version from advancing past 3.9.26. The knowledge-graph and content-graph abilities introduced in 3.10.0 are now correctly delivered to installed sites. #### 3.10.1 * Change: Plugin now distributes as a single freemium package. Free features work on install; Pro abilities unlock in place with a license key — no separate Pro plugin to install. Removed the redundant duplicate build from the release pipeline. #### 3.10.0 * New: Free ability `wds/sync-knowledge-graph` — paginated, cursor-based export of all site content (posts, pages, categories, tags, WooCommerce products) as a typed graph with nodes and edges. Supports delta sync via `since` parameter,` compact` mode for low-token traversal, and optional full `post_content` inclusion. * New: Pro ability `wds/build-content-graph` — builds a full site content graph with PageRank, internal link analysis (uses Yoast’s pre-parsed links table when available, falls back to DOMDocument), topic cluster detection via union-find on shared taxonomy terms, and SEO metadata. Supports Yoast SEO, Rank Math, SEOPress, and AIOSEO with no hard plugin dependency — works without any SEO plugin installed. * New: Pro ability `wds/get-content-insights` — queries the cached content graph for 10 insight types: orphaned pages, isolated content, missing keyphrases, duplicate keyphrases, weak SEO scores, noindexed content, stale content, top PageRank pages, topic clusters, and internal link gaps. #### 3.9.26 * Change: Plugin now ships as a single freemium build on WordPress.org — Pro abilities are included and unlocked with a license key. #### 3.9.18 * Fix: WP.org compliance — added full External Services disclosure for Google Search Console API and Google Analytics Data API used by Site Kit Pro abilities, including data description and links to Google terms/privacy policy. * Fix: WP.org compliance — added Site Kit Pro abilities (get-top-queries, get-top- pages, get-page-performance, get-traffic-overview) to the Pro abilities list in the readme. #### 3.9.17 * Add: Quick Setup prompt card in wizard Step 4 — paste one line into any AI agent to configure MCP automatically. * Add: Security plugin warning in wizard Step 3 — detects Wordfence, AIOS, iThemes Security, and Shield Security and shows plugin-specific fix instructions. #### 3.9.16 * Fix: License server URL updated from wallstrdev.de to wallstrdev.com. #### 3.9.15 * Add: Google Site Kit Analytics group added to Permissions tab (Pro, requires Site Kit plugin). * Add: Site Kit status card in Setup Wizard under “Pro Integrations” — shows install/ activate / connect steps for Search Console and GA4. * Add: Admin notice on WDS settings page guiding Pro users to install or connect Site Kit when not fully set up. #### 3.9.14 * Fix: Search Console site URL now reads from the correct settings key (propertyID, not siteURL), fixing get-top-queries and Search Console half of get-page-performance. #### 3.9.13 * Fix: Site Kit abilities now bypass Site Kit’s REST layer entirely and call Google APIs directly. Uses User_Options(context, owner_id) with an explicit user ID so the correct OAuth token is found regardless of who the current WordPress user is at plugin boot time, resolving the persistent missing_required_scopes 403 that the Application Password approach could not fix. #### 3.9.12 * Debug: richer error output — owner user, login, and raw Site Kit response body surfaced in warnings. #### 3.9.11 * Fix: Corrected Site Kit option key format — hyphens are preserved (googlesitekit_search- console_settings, not search_console), so ownerID is now read correctly and the right user context is used for API requests. #### 3.9.10 * Fix: Site Kit abilities now use WordPress Application Passwords + wp_remote_get() instead of rest_do_request(), bypassing Site Kit’s user-context caching issue that caused 403 errors even when OAuth was connected. #### 3.9.9 * Fix: Added wds_sitekit_find_owner() helper that locates the correct WordPress user for Site Kit requests — tries module ownerID first, then any admin with googlesitekit_manage_options capability, then user ID 1 as fallback. #### 3.9.8 * Debug: Added owner_id and user context to Site Kit error messages to diagnose OAuth token lookup failures. #### 3.9.7 * Fix: Site Kit abilities now temporarily switch to the module owner’s WordPress user context before making internal REST requests, so Site Kit finds the correct OAuth tokens and returns real data instead of a permissions error. #### 3.9.6 * Fix: Site Kit connection check now relies on Site Kit’s own REST endpoints instead of internal option keys, fixing false “not connected” errors when Search Console or GA4 modules are active. #### 3.9.5 * New: Pro ability `site-kit/get-top-queries` — returns top search queries from Google Search Console. * New: Pro ability `site-kit/get-top-pages` — returns top pages by traffic from Google Analytics 4. * New: Pro ability `site-kit/get-page-performance` — returns combined Search Console + GA4 metrics for a single URL. * New: Pro ability `site-kit/get-traffic-overview` — returns site-wide traffic summary by channel from GA4. #### 3.9.4 * Fix: WP.org compliance — corrected `Text Domain` header in free plugin to `wds- mcp-content-manager` to match the plugin slug. * Fix: Permission — `wds/get-pages` now restricts non-publish status queries (draft, private, etc.) to users with `edit_pages` capability. * Fix: Permission — `wds/create-post` and `wds/update-post` now require `upload_files` when a `featured_image_url` is provided. * Fix: Permission — `wds/create-page` and `wds/update-page` now use page-specific` edit_pages` capability instead of `edit_posts`, and require `upload_files` when a `featured_image_url` is provided. #### 3.9.3 * Fix: WP.org compliance — removed GitHub-based one-click adapter install from admin notice; directs users to Plugins > Add New instead. * Fix: WP.org compliance — MCP endpoint URL now uses `rest_url()` instead of hardcoded` home_url('/wp-json/...')` in wizard steps 2 and 4. * Fix: Permission — `wds/get-post` now rejects posts of non-viewable post types for unauthenticated callers. * Fix: Permission — `wds/create-post` requires `publish_posts` capability before setting publish or private status. * Fix: Permission — `wds/upload-image` verifies `edit_post` capability when a ` post_id` is provided. * Fix: Permission — category and product-category auto-creation now gated on the appropriate manage-terms capability. #### 3.9.2 * Fix: Plugin Check — corrected `Text Domain` header from `wds-mcp-content-manager` to `wallstrdev-mcp-content-manager` in both plugin files to match the plugin slug. * Fix: Plugin Check — updated text domain string in `settings.php` i18n calls to match. #### 3.9.1 * Fix: Plugin Check — added phpcs:ignore for `wp_json_encode` output inside JSON- LD script tag in `helpers.php`. * Fix: Plugin Check — replaced variable-in-printf with explicit if/else in locked permissions card to satisfy output escaping rules. * Fix: Plugin Check — bumped `Requires at least` to 6.9 to match `wp_register_ability()`/` wp_register_ability_category()` minimum WordPress version. #### 3.9.0 * Add: Free/Pro split — plugin now ships as two separate ZIPs. Free edition (WP. org) contains content, pages, and taxonomy abilities only. Pro edition (wallstrdev. de) contains all abilities including WooCommerce, Elementor, Media, and Multilingual. * Fix: WP.org compliance — removed GitHub-based one-click adapter install; adapter install now directs users to Plugins > Add New. * Fix: WP.org compliance — MCP endpoint URL now uses `rest_url()` instead of hardcoded` home_url('/wp-json/...')`. * Fix: Permission checks — `wds/get-post` now rejects non-viewable post types for unauthenticated requests. * Fix: Permission checks — `wds/create-post` requires `publish_posts` capability before setting publish/private status. * Fix: Permission checks — `wds/upload-image` verifies `edit_post` permission when a `post_id` is supplied. * Fix: Permission checks — category and product-category creation now gated on ` manage_categories` / taxonomy manage capability. #### 3.8.4 * Add: New optional Yoast score inputs on content abilities: `seo_score` and `seo_content_score`( 0-100). * Improvement: `wds/update-post` can now deterministically set Yoast traffic-light score metadata for one-by-one editorial workflows. * Improvement: Focus keyphrase writes now also sync `_yoast_wpseo_focuskw_text_input` to match the Yoast metabox field. #### 3.8.3 * Add: New free ability `wds/reindex-yoast-seo` to run Yoast SEO data optimization( indexables reindex) via Yoast indexing REST routes. * Add: New helper permission callback `wds_can_manage_options` and enforce admin- level access for Yoast reindex execution. * Improvement: Permissions screen now includes a toggle for `wds/reindex-yoast- seo`. #### 3.8.2 * Add: New read ability `wds/get-elementor-data` — returns the raw `_elementor_data` JSON for any post, page, or Elementor Library template, so an AI client can read the current structure, make a targeted edit, and write it back via `wds/inject- elementor-json` or `wds/update-elementor-template`. #### 3.8.1 * Add: New Polylang read ability `wds/get-post-translations` for checking post/ page translation mappings. * Improvement: Multilingual Permissions group now includes `wds/get-post-translations`. #### 3.8.0 * Add: Free taxonomy write abilities — wds/update-category, wds/delete-category, wds/update-tag, wds/delete-tag. * Add: Pro WooCommerce read abilities — wds/get-products and wds/get-product. * Add: Pro product taxonomy CRUD for categories and tags. * Add: Pro Polylang term translation abilities — wds/set-term-language, wds/link- term-translations, wds/get-term-translations. * Improvement: Permissions screen now includes all registered abilities. #### 3.6.5 * Fix: Connect Client tabs now reliably switch in Setup Wizard Step 4 by binding tab click handlers after `DOMContentLoaded`. * Fix: Add a defensive panel lookup guard in tab switch logic to avoid JS errors if a tab target is missing. * Fix: Set Connect Client tab buttons to `type="button"` to prevent accidental form-submit behavior. #### 3.6.4 * Add: Register page abilities `wds/get-pages`, `wds/create-page`, and `wds/update- page`. * Add: Include page abilities in the Permissions screen. #### 3.6.3 * Fix: Replace inline blocks with wp_add_inline_script() (WP.org enqueue requirement). * Fix: Re-encode JSON-LD schema via wp_json_encode before output (WP.org escaping requirement). * Fix: Add post-status guard in wds/get-post to prevent non-public posts being exposed to unauthenticated callers. * Fix: Add per-post current_user_can(‘edit_post’) checks in all write executors( update-post, update-product, set-product-schema, set-elementor-page, inject-elementor- json, set-featured-image, set-post-language, link-translations). #### 3.6.2 * Fix: Revert Text Domain to wds-mcp-content-manager (WP.org-assigned slug). * Fix: Exclude .gitignore from plugin ZIP (hidden files not permitted on WP.org). #### 3.6.1 * Fix: Resolve remaining Plugin Check errors — nonce suppression on read-only nav params, $license_url escaping, sanitized license key input. #### 3.6.0 * Fix: Resolve all WordPress Plugin Check errors for WP.org submission (ABSPATH guards, escaping, wp_unslash, wp_parse_url, wp_delete_file). * Add: One-click WordPress MCP Adapter install — user-initiated, fully disclosed, uses Plugin_Upgrader. #### 3.5.1 * Fix: Pro abilities now show as locked (with upgrade prompt) on Free plan instead of being hidden entirely — better AI agent UX. * Improvement: License tab includes direct link to purchase Pro. #### 3.5.0 * Add: Freemium model — Free plan includes core post/category/tag abilities;
