Most of WP Agent works through the WordPress core REST API with no plugin at all. This companion plugin adds the pieces core REST cannot do: * **Reliable authentication on any host** — many hosts (LiteSpeed, Apache without CGIPassAuth) strip the `Authorization` header before WordPress sees it, which silently breaks Application Password logins. The plugin accepts the same Application Password in a custom `X-WPAgent-Authorization` header that survives, and validates it with WordPress’s own native check. No new secret, no weaker check. * **SEO meta read/write** — Yoast SEO, Rank Math, and All in One SEO store their fields as protected meta (or, for AIOSEO v4, in a custom table) that core REST cannot write. The plugin adds safe, permission-checked endpoints so your assistant can set SEO titles, descriptions, and focus keywords. * **Site overview** — one endpoint that tells the assistant what it’s working with: WordPress/PHP version, active theme, detected SEO plugin, WooCommerce presence, and (for admins) the plugin inventory. All endpoints live under one `wp-agent/v1` REST namespace and every one of them requires an authenticated WordPress user with the appropriate capability. Nothing is exposed to anonymous visitors. #### Security * No new credentials — authentication uses WordPress’s built-in Application Passwords, validated by WordPress core * Your WordPress account password is never stored or transmitted * Every REST endpoint checks WordPress capabilities; key access requires an administrator * Revoking the Application Password (Users Profile) instantly disconnects WP Agent #### External Service Disclosure This plugin communicates with external services only in these cases: 1. **WP Agent (mcp.getwpagent.com / getwpagent.com)** — the “Connect WP Agent” button on the admin page is a link that opens the WP Agent website with your site URL and site name pre-filled, so you can pair the site to your WP Agent account. The plugin itself sends nothing to WP Agent in the background; pairing happens on the WP Agent website after you sign in there. Once you connect, your AI assistant manages the site through WP Agent, which sends authenticated requests to your site’s REST API. [WP Agent Terms of Service](https://www.getwpagent.com/terms) · [WP Agent Privacy Policy](https://www.getwpagent.com/privacy) If you never click Connect, the plugin makes no external requests at all. ## Installation 1. Install the plugin: upload the plugin folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`, or install through **Plugins Add New**. 2. Activate it through the **Plugins** screen. 3. Go to **WP Agent** in your admin menu and click **Connect WP Agent** — or simply tell your AI assistant “connect this site to WP Agent”. ## FAQ ### What does this plugin actually do? It’s a companion to the WP Agent service. It fixes Application Password authentication on hosts that strip the Authorization header, and adds REST endpoints core WordPress lacks for SEO meta writing (Yoast, Rank Math, AIOSEO) and a site overview. Connecting and managing content works even without it — the plugin makes SEO management possible and authentication reliable. ### Is it free? Do I need an account? The plugin is free. You need a WP Agent account (free tier available) at getwpagent. com to connect your AI assistant; the account is created automatically when you connect through ChatGPT or Claude. ### Is my WordPress password shared with WP Agent? No. WP Agent authenticates with a WordPress Application Password — a separate, revocable credential you can delete at any time under Users Profile Application Passwords. Your real password is never transmitted or stored. ### What data leaves my site? Only what you ask your assistant to do — content it reads or writes goes through your site’s REST API to WP Agent. The Connect button opens getwpagent.com with your site URL. See the External Service Disclosure above. ### Which SEO plugins are supported? Yoast SEO, Rank Math, and All in One SEO (both the modern v4 line and the legacy version). ### How do I disconnect? Revoke the WP Agent Application Password under Users Profile Application Passwords, or tell your assistant to disconnect the site. Deactivating the plugin also disables all of its endpoints immediately. ### What happens if I delete the plugin? All plugin data is removed from your database. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “YLabs AI Assistant Connector” is open source software.
