About this plugin
Draftsmith AI Content Assistant connects your WordPress site to Anthropic’s Claude models (and, optionally, DeepSeek) and adds a Content Management Panel that lets you:
- Central dashboard: generate full posts, outlines, or intros from a single idea, and turn them into a draft post with one click.
- In-editor assistant: a sidebar toolbox in the post editor (works with both the block editor and the Classic Editor) that includes:
- Suggesting 5 compelling titles based on the post’s content.
- Improving text: rewrite, expand, summarize, spelling & grammar fixes.
- Generating and saving an SEO meta description.
- Suggesting tags and adding them to the post in one click.
- A chat panel for asking questions about the post you are editing.
- MCP connector (optional): let Claude.ai connect to your site through an OAuth 2.1 + PKCE flow so it can manage content, media, and SEO from a conversation — with separate write and delete permission switches and one-click revocation. Self-hosted agents and automation tools that cannot run OAuth can connect with an API key you generate on the same screen.
- Flexible settings: choose the provider and model, writing tone, default language, and output length.
- Security-first: your API keys are stored only in your own site’s database, with capability checks and nonces on every request.
Supported models
6.
DeepSeek (optional, requires its own API key): DeepSeek V4 Flash and DeepSeek V4 Pro.
What the MCP connector exposes
When enabled, a connected app can use 22 tools grouped into Content, Discovery & planning, Media library, and SEO (Rank Math). The full list, with a read/write/delete badge for each, is shown on the Draftsmith → MCP Connection screen. Write tools require the “allow write” setting; delete tools require the “allow delete” setting, which is off by default.
Every action runs with the capabilities of the WordPress user who approved the connection.
External services
This plugin relies on external services. Nothing is sent anywhere until you explicitly configure and use the corresponding feature.
1. Anthropic Claude API (required for content generation)
com/v1/messages in order to generate and improve content.
- When: only when you click a generation action (dashboard “Generate content”, any button in the editor assistant, the chat panel, or “Test connection”). No request is made on page load or on a schedule.
- What is sent: the API key you entered, the selected model name, your prompt, and the post title/content excerpt relevant to the action you triggered. No visitor data and no site credentials are sent.
- Provider: Anthropic, PBC.
- Terms of service: https://www.anthropic.com/legal/consumer-terms
- Privacy policy: https://www.anthropic.com/legal/privacy
com are required for this feature. Usage is billed by Anthropic according to their pricing.
2. DeepSeek API (optional, only used if you select a DeepSeek model)
com/chat/completions in order to generate and improve content.
- When: only when you click a generation action while a DeepSeek model is selected (dashboard “Generate content”, any button in the editor assistant, the chat panel, or “Test connection”). No request is made on page load or on a schedule, and nothing is sent to DeepSeek while a Claude model is selected.
- What is sent: the DeepSeek API key you entered, the selected model name, your prompt, and the post title/content excerpt relevant to the action you triggered. No visitor data and no site credentials are sent.
- Provider: DeepSeek (Hangzhou DeepSeek Artificial Intelligence Co., Ltd.).
- Terms of service: https://cdn.deepseek.com/policies/en-US/deepseek-open-platform-terms-of-service.html
- Privacy policy: https://cdn.deepseek.com/policies/en-US/deepseek-privacy-policy.html
com are required for this feature. Usage is billed by DeepSeek according to their pricing. This is entirely optional — the plugin works with a Claude-only setup with nothing DeepSeek-related ever contacted.
3. Claude.ai MCP connector (optional, disabled by default)
ai — connects inbound to your site. Your site does not send data out on its own for this feature; the remote client requests it.
- When: only after you enable the MCP server and either complete the OAuth consent screen for a specific client or issue that client an API key.
- What the client can read/write: the content covered by the 22 tools listed on the MCP Connection screen, limited by your write/delete settings and by the capabilities of the approving user.
- Provider (typical client): Anthropic, PBC — https://claude.ai
- Terms of service: https://www.anthropic.com/legal/consumer-terms
- Privacy policy: https://www.anthropic.com/legal/privacy
You can revoke any connected app, or any issued API key, at any time from the MCP Connection screen. API keys are stored only as a SHA-256 hash and act with the capabilities of the administrator who created them. Passing a key in the URL is off by default, because a URL is recorded in server access logs; it must be enabled deliberately.
Disabling the MCP server blocks all inbound access immediately.
