AI Engine – The Chatbot, AI Framework & MCP for WordPress for WordPress Plugin Directory

AI Engine connects WordPress with AI models. One install, stable connectors for every major AI provider: OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Mistral, and more. Build intelligent chatbots, generate content, create AI forms, and automate tasks. All from your WordPress dashboard.

Please make sure you read the disclaimer. For more information, check the official website of AI Engine.

Quick Intro Hello! ☀️ I built AI Engine to bring OpenAI, Anthropic, and other AI models into WordPress. Create chatbots that understand your content, generate posts in your voice, translate instantly, create images, or build custom AI tools.

For developers: internal APIs, REST endpoints, function calling, and MCP support. Build AI features, automate workflows, or create SaaS applications on WordPress.

Feeling overwhelmed? 🤪 Start simple: Create a chatbot. Then connect Claude Code, Claude, ChatGPT, or OpenClaw through MCP, giving AI direct access to your site. Desktop clients can connect via OAuth: users just paste the MCP URL, sign in to WordPress, and approve. No shared token to manage. Add SEO Engine and watch it manage SEO in ways you never imagined. You can even connect AI Engine to multiple WordPress sites and manage them all through conversation.

You’ll be having a blast before you’ve explored everything. You’ll probably spot bits of AI Engine in plenty of other AI plugins, code and UI alike. Flattering, really… or fishy? 🤣 But only AI Engine keeps pushing forward with real care for its community, a drive toward perfection, and the patience to get the details right.

Why AI Engine? Native to WordPress

Built specifically for WordPress with seamless integration. No clunky interfaces, just native WordPress experience.

Flexible & Powerful

Built-in connectors for OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, xAI (Grok), Mistral, Perplexity, OpenRouter, Replicate, Azure (OpenAI), plus a Custom (OpenAI-compatible) connector for Ollama, LM Studio, vLLM, llama.cpp, LocalAI, or any self-hosted server. Use the models that work best for you. Google (Gemini) runs on the new Interactions API by default, bringing stateful conversations, streaming with a live event log, function calling, and built-in Google Search and Google Maps grounding, with the classic API kept as a one-click fallback.

Developer Friendly

Clean APIs, extensive hooks, and MCP support. Build custom AI features or entire SaaS applications on WordPress.

Real MCP, for Real WordPress

You may have heard of MCP Adapter, built by the WordPress team primarily for their WordPress.com hosting service. It’s essentially a thin layer on top of the REST API. AI Engine takes a different approach: its MCP tools are specifically crafted for AI agents, with rich context, smart defaults, and practical actions that go far beyond what a generic REST API wrapper can offer. And it works on any WordPress installation, regardless of your hosting provider. AI Engine also exposes its REST API as MCP tools if you want that, but the dedicated tools are where the real power is.

Privacy First

IP hashing, GDPR tools, secure file handling, and session-based tracking. You control your data.

Constantly Evolving

Weekly updates based on real user feedback. We listen, we improve.

My Dream for AI I am excited about AI, but I believe we need to use it with intention and clarity. Social media showed us how powerful tools can reshape our lives in ways we never expected, sometimes for the better, sometimes not. I want to avoid repeating those mistakes. AI should help us remove the meaningless, tedious work or enhance the work we enjoy. Modern tools should give us more time for what truly matters: spending beautiful moments with the people we love! 💕
