Chapter 2

All of this already exists

Not a forecast, and not something cobbled together in a GitHub basement. It is in WordPress itself.

  • WordPress 7.0: one place for AI credentials, under Settings → Connectors.
  • WordPress does no thinking. It manages the connection outward, nothing more.
  • A plugin may only use that connection once you have approved it.
  • The MCP Adapter is what makes your own site reachable by an agent.
  • Meta Box builds fields with it, Etch builds in the builder — the vendors have moved.

You used to have to talk WordPress into this. Now the door is built in.

The four pieces that already exist

None of this has to be invented. All of it can be installed today.

  • Connectors API — in core since WordPress 7.0

    One place for the keys to AI services, under Settings → Connectors. Every plugin used to build its own field for that. And a plugin may only use the key once you have approved it.

  • MCP Adapter — the door outward

    Makes your own WordPress site reachable by an AI agent. This is the official route from the WordPress project itself; the older Automattic plugin that started it has been retired.

  • Meta Box — the AI builds the structure

    Through the new Abilities an agent can create and fill post types, taxonomies, field groups and field values. Not just writing text — building the frame the content later sits in.

  • Etch — the AI works inside the builder

    The connector attaches an agent to your open builder tab: create pages, set styles, build components. What you see on screen changes while the agent works.
