Want Claude or ChatGPT to actually do<\/em> things on your WordPress site instead of just talking about it? Albert is the AI assistant connector for WordPress. It exposes your site through the Model Context Protocol (MCP), so AI assistants can write and edit posts, organize media, manage products, and handle day-to-day tasks \u2014 all under your control.<\/p>\n\n Every well-run site deserves a proper butler. Albert stands at the door, welcomes AI assistants like Claude and ChatGPT, checks their credentials, and puts them to work \u2014 no custom code and no complicated setup.<\/p>\n\n And a good butler is discreet. Albert keeps your visitors' and customers' personal details \u2014 names, email addresses, phone numbers and postal addresses \u2014 private, hiding them from AI assistants by default and revealing the real details only when you explicitly ask.<\/p>\n\n Once connected, an AI assistant can take real action on your site through a curated set of abilities:<\/p>\n\n Albert turns your WordPress site into an MCP server. Copy the endpoint URL, paste it into Claude Desktop, ChatGPT, or any MCP-compatible AI assistant, authorize, and you're connected. The same three steps work for every client.<\/p>\n\n Not every guest needs access to every room. From the admin panel, you choose exactly which abilities are switched on. Write and delete abilities are off by default, and every action still respects WordPress's own user roles and capabilities \u2014 an AI assistant can never do more than the authorized user could do by hand.<\/p>\n\n Every AI assistant must present proper credentials before Albert lets it in. Connections use OAuth 2.0 with time-limited, automatically refreshing tokens \u2014 no passwords are ever shared \u2014 and you can revoke any connection at any time.<\/p>\n\n Albert does not collect, store, or transmit any user data to external servers. All authentication tokens are stored locally in your WordPress database. When you authorize an AI assistant, that assistant will have access to perform actions on your WordPress site according to the permissions you grant. You control which abilities are enabled and can revoke any session at any time.<\/p>\n\n Developed by Mark Jansen - Your Mark Media\nWebsite: https:\/\/yourmark.nl\nPlugin URL: https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/albert\/<\/p>\n\n Built with:\n* league\/oauth2-server for OAuth 2.0 implementation\n* Model Context Protocol (MCP) for AI assistant connectivity\n* WordPress Coding Standards<\/p>\n\n\n Full setup guide available at Documentation<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n MCP \u2014 the Model Context Protocol \u2014 is an open standard that lets AI assistants connect to external tools and data. Albert turns your WordPress site into an MCP server, so any MCP-compatible AI assistant, like Claude or ChatGPT, can work with it.<\/p><\/dd>\n Albert works with Claude Desktop<\/strong>, ChatGPT<\/strong>, and any AI assistant that supports the Model Context Protocol (MCP). The connection process is the same for all: copy the endpoint URL, paste it into your assistant, and authorize.<\/p><\/dd>\n Three steps: add yourself as an allowed user, copy the MCP endpoint URL, and paste it into your AI assistant. No technical knowledge required.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes. Albert uses OAuth 2.0 \u2014 the same standard used by Google, GitHub, and other major platforms. Your AI assistant receives a time-limited access token that automatically refreshes. No passwords are shared. All operations respect WordPress's built-in capability and role system, and you control exactly which abilities are enabled.<\/p><\/dd>\n Not by default. Albert automatically hides personal details \u2014 names, email addresses, phone numbers and postal addresses \u2014 before anything is sent to an AI assistant. You choose how strict this is (Strict, Balanced, or Off), and you can reveal the real details on request when you genuinely need them.<\/p><\/dd>\n Albert ships with 35+ abilities covering WordPress core:<\/p>\n\n When WooCommerce is active, additional abilities are available for products, orders, and customers.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes. The abilities page lists every action your AI assistant can perform on your site, clearly labelled as Read, Write, or Delete. You toggle each one on or off individually \u2014 changes save instantly, no form to submit. Filter the list by text, category, or supplier to find what you're looking for. Write and delete abilities are off by default \u2014 you choose exactly what to enable. All actions also respect WordPress user capabilities, so your AI assistant can never do more than the authorized user could do manually.<\/p><\/dd>\n No. Albert works with WordPress core out of the box. WooCommerce abilities appear automatically when WooCommerce is active.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes. Developers can register custom abilities using the WordPress Abilities API to expose any functionality to AI assistants. See the documentation at albertwp.com\/docs<\/a>.<\/p><\/dd>\n Albert is designed for single-site installations. Multisite support is on the roadmap.<\/p><\/dd>\n A security update for how AI assistants connect.<\/p>\n\n Security<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Developer<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Two headline changes: the Abilities screen has been rebuilt from scratch, and personal data is now kept private from AI assistants automatically.<\/p>\n\n Features<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Improvements<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Developer<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Albert now understands the WordPress block editor \u2014 a big step up in how AI assistants read and write your content.<\/p>\n\n Features<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Improvements<\/strong><\/p>\n\n A bug-fix release.<\/p>\n\n Fixes<\/strong><\/p>\n\nWhat your AI assistant can do<\/h4>\n\n
