WordPress 7.0 is set to launch on April 9, introducing native AI agent integration capabilities for its global user base. The update will incorporate the MCP (Model Context Protocol) adapter, allowing WordPress sites to function as MCP servers. This integration will enable AI agents like Claude and ChatGPT to discover features, understand site structures, and perform actions directly within WordPress sites.
The new version introduces three key components: AI Connectors for centralized API key management, an expanded Abilities API for standardized function declarations, and the MCP Adapter for exposing site capabilities to external AI agents. WordPress.com has already implemented MCP write permissions, requiring user confirmation for actions and ensuring secure OAuth 2.1 authentication. With WordPress powering 43% of global websites, this update marks a significant step in AI integration, akin to the impact of the REST API's core integration in 2016.
