Agent skill

wordpress-mcp-dev

Build and maintain modern WordPress plugins and MCP servers, including hybrid WordPress+MCP products. Use when implementing plugin architecture (PHP, REST API, Gutenberg/admin/page-builder integrations), MCP tooling (TypeScript/Python, stdio/HTTP transport), security hardening, licensing/updates, and delivery workflows from scaffold to distribution.

WordPress + MCP Development

Use this skill to ship production-grade WordPress plugins, MCP servers, or both together.

Workflow

  1. Identify target product shape: plugin, mcp-server, or hybrid.
  2. Choose architecture and scaffold from the relevant reference.
  3. Implement minimum viable vertical slice first:
    • Plugin: one secure REST route + one real feature path.
    • MCP: one read-only tool + one mutating tool with safe validation.
    • Hybrid: one plugin endpoint consumed by one MCP tool.
  4. Add safety controls before expanding scope: capability checks, nonce/auth, sanitized errors, and rollback strategy.
  5. Validate against checklists before release.

Guardrails

  • Keep plugin bootstrap thin; place behavior in namespaced classes.
  • Prefix all plugin symbols to avoid collisions.
  • Treat MCP tool schemas/descriptions as API contracts for model behavior.
  • Return actionable errors and avoid leaking secrets.
  • Prefer duplicate-first content edits for AI-assisted write operations.
