AI Engine – The Chatbot, AI Framework & MCP for WordPress vs VideoWhisper Site Manager for ChatGPT, Claude, Codex

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.

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! 💕 Disclaimer AI Engine is a plugin that helps you to connect your websites to AI services.

VideoWhisper Site Manager lets you manage WordPress posts and pages through external AI assistants such as ChatGPT (Custom GPT + Actions), Claude (MCP: web, desktop, mobile, CLI), and Codex (MCP) using own account, not API keys. It exposes authenticated WordPress endpoints and setup guidance while you keep using your own AI account and subscription. It provides: A secure REST layer for content operations (list, read, create, update, revert, reset) An MCP (Model Context Protocol) endpoint for Claude.ai, Claude Desktop, Claude CLI, Claude mobile apps, and Codex MCP clients A generated OpenAPI schema URL for GPT Actions import Guided onboarding with copy/paste values for ChatGPT Builder, Claude connector setup, and Codex MCP setup Turnkey OAuth onboarding for shared GPT / shared MCP workflows through a compatible Relay & OAuth Server WordPress Application Password onboarding for direct site-owned integrations Frontend user connection shortcode support for connected account workflows Safety controls: HTTPS enforcement, draft-first behavior, publish gating, read/write rate limiting, write quotas, IP allowlists, audit logs Extension points through WordPress hooks for custom authentication, tools, settings, content types, and admin UI additions The plugin does not call OpenAI, Anthropic, or any AI provider directly. Your WordPress site exposes authenticated endpoints and setup guidance. You connect it to ChatGPT, Claude, or Codex yourself with your own account and subscription. Ideal for Site owners who want to draft, edit, or review WordPress content by chat Teams using a dedicated WordPress user (recommended: Editor) for AI-assisted publishing workflows Mobile workflows: configure on desktop, use the GPT or Claude connector on phone/tablet Developer workflows where Codex can use MCP tools to inspect and update WordPress content Supported Authentication The onboarding flow recommends using one authentication option for clarity, but development and migration setups can enable more than one. Turnkey OAuth – recommended for most sites. Users connect through a compatible Relay & OAuth Server and can operate one or more connected sites from the same shared GPT or MCP connector. Application Passwords – direct WordPress authentication over HTTPS using WordPress core Application Passwords. Best for admin-owned custom GPT/MCP setups where credentials are managed by the site operator. Extension-provided authentication – developers can add custom OAuth, token validation, alternate connector metadata, or other authentication flows with the hooks listed below. Connecting ChatGPT Install and activate VideoWhisper Site Manager. Open VideoWhisper Site Manager > Onboarding. Create (or link) a dedicated WordPress user (recommended role: Editor). Choose Turnkey OAuth for a shared GPT workflow, or create an Application Password from the onboarding page for a direct site-owned GPT. In ChatGPT Builder (desktop), create a Custom GPT and import the plugin OpenAPI schema URL. Use the provided copy/paste values for Configure, Actions, authentication, and privacy policy fields. Test on desktop, then use the same GPT on mobile. Connecting Claude (MCP) The free plugin includes an MCP endpoint at /wp-json/videowhisper-site-manager/v1/mcp. Claude.ai (web): Go to claude.ai/customize/connectors. Click the + button in the Connectors sidebar → Add custom connector. Set a name and paste the MCP endpoint URL. Authorize via Turnkey OAuth when connected to a compatible Relay & OAuth Server, or use an Application Password for direct setup. The connector also works in the Claude mobile apps (iOS and Android) and desktop once authorized. Claude CLI: claude mcp add –transport http “YourSiteName” “https://yoursite.com/wp-json/videowhisper-site-manager/v1/mcp” Automatic OAuth authorization requires a compatible Relay & OAuth Server. Without that connection, use WordPress Application Passwords over HTTPS. Connecting Codex (MCP) The onboarding flow includes Codex setup values for both direct and Turnkey MCP architectures. Codex can connect to the same Streamable HTTP MCP endpoint at /wp-json/videowhisper-site-manager/v1/mcp. Open VideoWhisper Site Manager > Onboarding and enable Codex in the AI Tools selection step. Choose Turnkey OAuth for shared relay access, or Application Passwords for direct site-owned MCP access. Copy the generated Codex config.toml block or OAuth login command from the Codex onboarding tab. Restart or reload Codex MCP settings, then use /mcp in Codex to confirm the WordPress MCP server is active.

Site owners are responsible for: Securing the site with HTTPS Managing WordPress users and Application Passwords Configuring GPT sharing safely (recommended: Only Me) Reviewing the privacy implications of any external AI service connected to the site’s API External services This plugin can connect to external services only when an administrator chooses a workflow that uses them. The default external services listed below are provided for free registration-based onboarding and relay functionality. They do not require payment to use with the free plugin. Site administrators can also configure another compatible third-party Relay & OAuth Server URL or add custom services through the documented WordPress hooks. Promptaur Relay & OAuth Server Default service URL: https://server.promptaur.com This service is used for optional Turnkey OAuth, shared GPT/shared MCP onboarding, multi-site relay routing, and bearer-token validation. It makes setup simpler by allowing users to connect through one OAuth login and, when enabled by the service, use pre-existing shared GPT or MCP connector configuration instead of creating their own. Data sent to this service: When registering a site: the WordPress site URL, site name, and optional account or server registration token entered/configured by the administrator. When registering a GPT/OAuth client: the site key, site secret, client name, and GPT callback URL supplied in onboarding. When validating OAuth bearer tokens: the bearer access token plus the site’s registered site key and site secret. The plugin caches validation briefly according to the configured token cache TTL. When loading Turnkey configuration, status, disconnect, or user connection data: the site key, site secret, and the specific account/site/user connection values needed for that request. Terms of Use: https://server.promptaur.com/terms-of-use/ Privacy Policy: https://server.promptaur.com/privacy-policy/ VideoWhisper Remote Connect Default service URL: https://consult.videowhisper.com This optional onboarding service is used by the VideoWhisper Remote Connect wizard to register or log in a contact, import connection settings, and simplify account/site setup. It is a free registration-based service used to improve onboarding; it is not required for direct Application Password setup. Data sent to this service from the onboarding page: The client plugin identifier, WordPress site URL, and normalized site domain. Registration/login details entered by the administrator, such as name, email address, PIN/confirmation code, website/domain, and form fields returned by the service configuration. Remote account tokens returned by the service when the administrator chooses to import settings or push the current site URL/account state.
