GOMAX plugs into WordPress own Abilities API, so AI agents can discover and safely run GOMAX tools through the standard MCP layer.
What it is
WordPress 6.9 and 7.0 added the Abilities API: a standard way for plugins to declare what a site can do, which the official MCP Adapter turns into tools any AI agent can call. GOMAX registers a set of abilities under the "gomax" category, so your GOMAX toolset becomes part of the standard WordPress agentic layer instead of a separate silo.
How it works
On every request, GOMAX declares abilities (for example get-geo-status, set-post-seo, publish-to-social, and a permission-gated run-tool bridge) to WordPress. When an AI agent connects through the MCP Adapter, it sees these abilities, reads their input schemas, and calls them. Each call is still routed through GOMAX permissions, contract validation and safe-execution, and read-only abilities are marked so agents cannot use them to change anything. So the agent gets standard discovery, and you keep full control.
How to turn it on
- Use WordPress 6.9 or newer (it includes the Abilities API). GOMAX registers its abilities automatically.
- To expose them to external agents, install the official WordPress MCP Adapter plugin.
- Connect your agent (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor) and scope it with GOMAX permissions.
Frequently asked questions
What is the WordPress Abilities API?
A core feature (WordPress 6.9/7.0) that lets plugins declare their capabilities in a standard format, which the MCP Adapter exposes to AI agents. GOMAX registers its tools this way.
Is it safe for an agent to call GOMAX abilities?
Yes. Every call still passes GOMAX permissions, validation and safe-execution, read-only abilities cannot change anything, and you can scope or revoke any agent.
