Settings fixes: - MAX_SITES_PER_USER, USER_RATE_LIMIT_PER_MIN/HR now read from DB settings table (DB > ENV > default), so dashboard/settings changes apply without restart. Sync cache refreshed on every save or delete. - /api/me reports the live DB value for max_sites_per_user. Admin improvements: - Admin users bypass per-user rate limiting entirely (role=admin or ADMIN_EMAILS). - Admin Overview now shows platform stats: registered users, new users (7d), total user sites, available tools. Plugin cleanup: - Appwrite and Directus plugins removed from the active registry (8 plugins now: WordPress, WooCommerce, WordPress Specialist, Gitea, n8n, Supabase, OpenPanel, Coolify). Plugin code is retained for future re-enabling. - Settings page plugin visibility list updated to match. Mobile onboarding: - Stepper steps on narrow viewports stack vertically with correct full border and rounded corners on each step. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

# Airano MCP Bridge
|
||
|
||
**Version:** 2.10.3
|
||
**Requires WordPress:** 5.0+
|
||
**Tested up to:** 6.9
|
||
**Requires PHP:** 7.4+
|
||
**License:** GPLv2 or later
|
||
**Plugin slug:** `airano-mcp-bridge` (permanent)
|
||
|
||
> Companion plugin for [MCP Hub](https://mcp.example.com) — the AI-native management hub for WordPress, WooCommerce, and self-hosted services. Source: [github.com/airano-ir/mcphub](https://github.com/airano-ir/mcphub).
|
||
|
||
## What this plugin does
|
||
|
||
MCP Hub lets AI assistants (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code Copilot, …) manage your WordPress site through the Model Context Protocol. The core features work against the stock `/wp-json/wp/v2/` REST endpoints — **you do not need this plugin to use MCP Hub**.
|
||
|
||
Installing **Airano MCP Bridge** unlocks a second tier of capabilities that WordPress's built-in REST API can't reach on its own:
|
||
|
||
- **Large-file uploads** that bypass `upload_max_filesize`
|
||
- **One-round-trip upload + metadata + attach + set-featured** (v2.9.0)
|
||
- **Thumbnail regeneration** (no WP-CLI / SSH)
|
||
- **Cache purge** for 6 major cache plugins (LiteSpeed, WP Rocket, W3TC, WP Super Cache, WP Fastest Cache, SG Optimizer)
|
||
- **Transient cleanup** (expired / all / pattern)
|
||
- **Bulk post-meta writes** in a single REST round-trip
|
||
- **Unified site-health snapshot** (5+ stock calls → 1)
|
||
- **Structured JSON export** (posts / pages / products + media + terms + meta)
|
||
- **Capability probe** — tells MCP Hub what the calling application password can actually do
|
||
- **Audit hook** — forwards WordPress action events to MCP Hub with HMAC-signed webhooks
|
||
- **SEO meta routes** for Rank Math and Yoast
|
||
|
||
All operations remain guarded by WordPress's own capability system — this plugin never bypasses auth.
|
||
|
||
## Installation
|
||
|
||
1. Download `airano-mcp-bridge.zip` from the MCP Hub release page.
|
||
2. In WP Admin → **Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin**, choose the zip and **Activate**.
|
||
3. Generate an **Application Password** under Users → Profile (scroll to bottom).
|
||
4. In MCP Hub dashboard → **My Sites**, add your WordPress site using that Application Password.
|
||
|
||
The plugin works out of the box. There are no settings pages to configure; behavior is controlled entirely through the REST API.
|
||
|
||
## REST API endpoints
|
||
|
||
### SEO meta (namespace `airano-mcp-bridge/v1`)
|
||
|
||
- `GET / POST /posts/{id}/seo` — Post SEO data (Rank Math or Yoast, auto-detected)
|
||
- `GET / POST /pages/{id}/seo` — Page SEO data
|
||
- `GET / POST /products/{id}/seo` — WooCommerce product SEO data
|
||
- `GET /status` — Plugin status + active SEO plugins list
|
||
|
||
### MCP Bridge helpers (namespace `airano-mcp/v1`)
|
||
|
||
| Route | Method | Introduced | Purpose |
|
||
|---|---|---|---|
|
||
| `/upload-limits` | GET | 2.0.0 | Returns effective PHP + WP upload limits so MCP Hub can pick the right upload path |
|
||
| `/upload-chunk` | POST | 2.0.0 | Raw-body upload that bypasses `upload_max_filesize` (still bounded by `post_max_size`) |
|
||
| `/upload-and-attach` | POST | 2.9.0 | Same as `/upload-chunk` plus query-param metadata (`attach_to_post`, `set_featured`, `title`, `alt_text`, `caption`, `description`) — collapses 3 REST round-trips into 1 |
|
||
| `/capabilities` | GET | 2.1.0 | Effective capabilities of the calling Application Password + feature flags + available routes |
|
||
| `/bulk-meta` | POST | 2.2.0 | Batch `post_meta` writes in one request (max 500 items, per-item permission check) |
|
||
| `/export` | GET | 2.3.0 | Structured JSON export of posts / pages / products + media + terms + meta, with `post_type` / `status` / `since` / `limit` / `offset` paging |
|
||
| `/cache-purge` | POST | 2.4.0 | Auto-detects LiteSpeed, WP Rocket, W3 Total Cache, WP Super Cache, WP Fastest Cache, SiteGround Optimizer and triggers each one's purge API; always flushes object cache |
|
||
| `/transient-flush` | POST | 2.5.0 | Native transient cleanup with `expired` / `all` / `pattern` scopes; optional site-transient handling for multisite |
|
||
| `/site-health` | GET | 2.6.0 | Single-envelope health snapshot: WP/PHP/MySQL versions, disk free, active plugins, theme, writability, SSL — replaces 5+ stock calls |
|
||
| `/audit-hook` | GET / POST / DELETE | 2.7.0 | Configure a webhook that forwards WP action events to MCP Hub. HMAC-SHA256-signed, non-blocking |
|
||
| `/regenerate-thumbnails` | POST | 2.8.0 | Rebuild attachment sub-sizes via `wp_generate_attachment_metadata()` for a list of IDs or in paged batch mode |
|
||
|
||
### Authentication
|
||
|
||
All routes require **HTTP Basic** authentication with a WordPress **Application Password** (Users → Profile → Application Passwords). Per-route capability requirements:
|
||
|
||
| Route family | Required capability |
|
||
|---|---|
|
||
| SEO meta (read/write) | `edit_posts` |
|
||
| Upload helpers | `upload_files` or `manage_options` |
|
||
| Capabilities probe | `read` (any logged-in user) |
|
||
| Bulk meta, Export | `edit_posts` (per-item `edit_post` check) |
|
||
| Cache purge, Transient flush, Site health, Audit hook, Regenerate thumbnails | `manage_options` |
|
||
|
||
## Privacy
|
||
|
||
This plugin makes **no outbound network calls** on its own. It exposes authenticated REST API endpoints that your MCP Hub instance calls into. The audit-hook route **only** sends webhooks when you explicitly configure it (POST to `/audit-hook` with an endpoint URL + secret); without that configuration, zero telemetry leaves your WordPress.
|
||
|
||
No analytics, no phone-home, no cloud relay.
|
||
|
||
## Security notes
|
||
|
||
- All write routes enforce capability checks.
|
||
- Raw-body uploads go through `wp_handle_sideload()` which respects WordPress's allowed-MIME list.
|
||
- Bulk meta writes check `current_user_can('edit_post', $post_id)` per item, not just per batch.
|
||
- Audit-hook secrets are stored in `wp_options` and never echoed in responses (only the last 4 characters are returned on read).
|
||
- Audit-hook webhooks are signed with HMAC-SHA256 so MCP Hub can verify the message came from your site and hasn't been tampered with.
|
||
|
||
If you find a security issue, please report it privately to the maintainers at the [GitHub issues page](https://github.com/airano-ir/mcphub/issues) rather than filing a public issue.
|
||
|
||
## Frequently asked questions
|
||
|
||
### Do I need MCP Hub to use this plugin?
|
||
|
||
No. Every route is a standard authenticated WordPress REST endpoint and can be called from any HTTP client (curl, Postman, a custom integration). MCP Hub is the reference consumer but not a requirement.
|
||
|
||
### Which SEO plugins are supported?
|
||
|
||
**Rank Math SEO** and **Yoast SEO**. The plugin auto-detects which is active and routes SEO-meta calls accordingly.
|
||
|
||
### Does this plugin work on multisite?
|
||
|
||
Yes. Route registration, capability checks, and transient flushing all respect multisite boundaries. The optional `include_site_transients` flag on `/transient-flush` handles site transients on multisite setups.
|
||
|
||
### Why keep the folder name `airano-mcp-bridge` even though the plugin now does much more than SEO?
|
||
|
||
Plugin slugs on WordPress.org are permanent once registered. Existing installs keep working; display name, description, and feature surface are what we can update.
|
||
|
||
### What happens if I uninstall?
|
||
|
||
Uninstall removes plugin options including the audit-hook secret and endpoint. Media uploaded via the plugin stays in your media library (it's regular WordPress attachments — the plugin just provides the upload pipeline).
|
||
|
||
### How large a file can I upload?
|
||
|
||
The `/upload-chunk` route bypasses PHP's `upload_max_filesize` (typically 2–64 MB on shared hosting), but is still bounded by `post_max_size` and `memory_limit`. For files larger than `post_max_size`, MCP Hub falls back to its own server-side chunked session pipeline that reassembles chunks before handing the full file to this route.

||
