A quick note on naming:The product isWPVibe. The WordPress.org plugin slug isvibe-ai(slugs can never change after approval, and the plugin file isvibe-ai.phpto match), so the plugin URL and file names keep that spelling. The plugin itself displays as WPVibe everywhere.
Scope of this repository:This is theWordPress plugin— the WP-side component that exposes WordPress operations as MCP-callable REST endpoints. The hosted WPVibe MCP server (gateway, OAuth, tool registration) lives atwpvibe.aiand is not in this repo. Install both for the full experience.
WPVibe is theWordPress MCP integration— a plugin you install on your WordPress site that exposes WordPress operations as MCP tools. Combined with the hosted WPVibe MCP service, your AI assistant gets a sandboxed, authenticated, capability-checked path to:
- Manage WordPress content— create, update, and publish posts, pages, and custom post types via the WordPress REST API
- Edit WordPress themes safely— sandboxed draft-preview-publish workflow with PHP syntax validation
- Run WordPress WP-CLI commands— 34 allowlisted commands via native PHP dispatch (no wp-cli binary required)
- Use the WordPress Abilities API— call any plugin's registered abilities (WordPress 6.9+)
- Upload WordPress media— pull images from URLs or Unsplash directly into your media library
- Discover site state— list files, search code, inspect installed plugins and themes — all read-first by default
No copy-pasting between AI chat and wp-admin. No API key juggling. One-click OAuth, AES-256-GCM encrypted credentials, and your WordPress site is AI-accessible.

WPVibe is designed for safe AI access to production WordPress sites:
- One-click OAuth— no application passwords typed into chat, no long-lived tokens on disk
- AES-256-GCM credential encryptionat rest with per-site salting
- Per-endpoint WordPress capability checks—edit_themes,manage_options,install_plugins, etc.
- DISALLOW_FILE_MODShonored for all write operations
- Path sandboxingfor file operations — scoped to the active theme or its draft sandbox
- File extension allowlistfor writes —.php,.css,.js,.json,.html,.txt
- PHP syntax validation— every saved PHP file passes an in-process syntax check before write
- WP-CLI default-deny allowlist— only 34 explicitly listed commands, dangerous flags stripped, shell metacharacters blocked
- DB queries restricted to SELECT— LIMIT enforced (max 1000), blocked-keyword regex with word boundaries
- Sensitive option denylist—auth_,_salt,active_plugins,db_version, and 20+ other core options can't be read or modified through the plugin
- Two-phase confirmation flowforplugin install/plugin update
- DELETE moves to trashfor posts and pages — never a permanent delete via the MCP
- Per-user scopingon AI-action notifications so multi-admin sites don't leak activity between users
