Quick start

Prerequisites

  • WordPress 6.x+
  • PHP 8.1+
  • Admin access + MCP client (endpoint /wp-json/wp-agent-bridge/mcp)

Installation

  1. Upload the plugin ZIP and activate it.
  2. Generate a bearer token in the admin (example: wpab_**** — never expose it).
  3. Declare the token in your MCP client for the site’s endpoint.
  4. First call: wpab-ping — it must return pong, versions, mode.

define('WPAB_HEALTH_CHECK_URL', 'http://127.0.0.1/');
define('WPAB_HEALTH_CHECK_SSLVERIFY', false);

Also check that the snapshots folder returns 403 in a logged-out session (and that a .json file in the folder also returns 403).
