About this plugin
Making Connections Possible | Now with the Claude 5 family (Opus 5, Sonnet 5, Fable 5) and durable background chat: long AI conversations survive page reloads, closed tabs, and slow hosts
Abilities Bridge connects AI to your WordPress site. Use the built-in admin chat, connect via MCP to Claude Desktop, or integrate with other MCP-compatible applications. Supports both Anthropic (Claude) and OpenAI models.
Key Features
- Admin chat interface for direct AI interaction
- Image attachments in chat — upload images or capture a browser-approved screenshot (can be disabled in settings)
- MCP server for Claude Desktop, ChatGPT, and other MCP clients
- Persistent memory storage across conversations
- Abilities execution with 7-gate permission controls
- Integrated Connected Plugins — discover and approve AI abilities that other plugins register, with per-ability permission controls
- Claude and OpenAI model support
- OAuth 2.0 authentication for MCP connections
Four Ways to Connect
- Built-in Chat – API Billing – Uses the Anthropic or OpenAI API key stored on this site and is billed directly by that API provider
- Claude Account Connection – Connect Claude Desktop through MCP and OAuth using your Claude account; it does not use the built-in chat’s Anthropic API key
- ChatGPT Account Connection – Connect ChatGPT developer mode through MCP and OAuth using your ChatGPT account; it does not use the built-in chat’s OpenAI API key
- Other MCP Clients – Connect Claude Code and compatible apps using the WordPress MCP credentials shown in setup
Requirements
- WordPress 6.2+, PHP 7.4+
- An Anthropic or OpenAI API key for the built-in chat, or the corresponding Claude/ChatGPT account for an MCP account connection
- HTTPS required for MCP OAuth 2.0 connections
External Services
This plugin connects to external API services.
com) to provide AI functionality. Data is only sent when you actively use the chat interface or MCP tools. No background data collection or telemetry occurs.
Durable OpenAI chat jobs use Responses API background mode with response storage enabled so the plugin can poll and recover an answer after the browser closes. Under OpenAI’s standard data controls, stored Responses application state is retained for at least 30 days. For OpenAI organizations approved for Zero Data Retention, OpenAI treats storage as disabled and temporarily stores background response data for roughly 10 minutes to support polling.
Data Sent
- Chat messages and prompts
- Memory contents
- Abilities execution requests and results

Privacy & Security
Data Transmission
com) when you interact with the AI. This includes chat messages, memory contents, and abilities execution requests. You control what data is sent – the AI only accesses data when you use it.
Security
- Permission controls with explicit consent for all write capabilities
- 7-gate ability authorization system
- Isolated memory storage with size limits (50MB total)
- Full activity logging and audit trails
- OAuth tokens encrypted with AES-256-CBC
- MCP access requires authentication for every method, including discovery (initialize, tools/list, ping); unauthenticated requests receive an HTTP 401 OAuth challenge
- All admin actions protected with nonce verification and capability checks
Data Retention
Conversations and logs are stored in your WordPress database until manually deleted. Background chat jobs also store status, timing, provider/model, tool-checkpoint, and error metadata; terminal job metadata is automatically removed after 30 days. Durable OpenAI jobs enable Responses API storage for polling and recovery; OpenAI normally retains that application state for at least 30 days, while approved Zero Data Retention organizations use temporary background storage instead.
Refer to your provider’s privacy policy and account data controls for current retention practices.
No Telemetry
This plugin does NOT send usage statistics, telemetry, or analytics to the plugin developer.
