Plugin Description

Seeb Abilities adds 53 new abilities to WordPress, so AI agents can write and edit posts, build pages block by block, manage patterns and templates, moderate comments and more, instead of only reading information about your site.

WordPress 6.9 introduced the 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) 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 plugin, which turns these abilities into MCP tools that Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code and other MCP clients can use directly.

Every ability:

Uses WordPress’s own functions (wp_insert_post(), 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 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 (/wp-json/wp-abilities/v1/) and, when the MCP Adapter plugin is active, as MCP tools.

53 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 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()
post-meta-update: update a post’s registered custom fields
content-search: search across all public post types at once

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

Blocks and patterns (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-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, 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

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 (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 with the same block abilities as posts
template-reset: remove customizations and go back to the theme’s version
global-styles-get: read the site’s global styles: colors, typography and spacing presets, so new blocks match the theme

Navigation

menus-list: list menus and their locations
menu-items-query: list the items of a menu
menu-item-add: add a page, post, term or custom link to a menu

Media

media-query: find media library items
media-sideload: import an image or file from a URL into the media library
media-update: update alt text, caption, title or description

Comments

comments-query: find comments by post, status or author
comment-moderate: approve, unapprove, mark as spam or trash a comment
comment-reply: reply to a comment as the current user

Users

users-query: list users with their roles (read-only, requires the list_users capability, never returns passwords)
current-user-get: get the connected user’s role and capabilities, so an agent knows what it is allowed to do

Site

settings-get: read general and reading settings
settings-update: change site title, tagline, timezone, date format and other allowlisted settings
plugins-list: list installed plugins and whether they are active
post-types-list: list registered post types and taxonomies
site-health-get: get the Site Health status and the tests that need attention
cron-events-list: list scheduled (cron) events and when they run next
themes-list: list installed themes and which one is active

Safe by default

Deleting moves to the trash. 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 or activates plugins.
Query results are paginated with a maximum page size.
Site owners can turn off any ability, or a whole category, under Settings Seeb Abilities.
