Claudaborative Editing vs Enable Abilities for MCP

Claudaborative Editing adds controls to the WordPress block editor that let you trigger AI-powered actions, including proofreading, reviewing, translating, and more, directly from within WordPress. It can be run for free with the Claudaborative Editing MCP server, which can be installed in your local copy of Claude Code. For a complete seamless experience, we recommend a Claudaborative Cloud subscription, which does all of the hard work for you. This plugin has no official affiliation with Anthropic or Claude. Development The source code is available on GitHub: Claudaborative Editing on GitHub Source files are in the wordpress-plugin/ directory. See the repository README.md for build instructions.

Enable Abilities for MCP gives you full control over which WordPress Abilities are available to AI assistants through the MCP (Model Context Protocol) Adapter. WordPress 6.9 introduced the Abilities API, allowing external tools to discover and execute actions on your site. This plugin extends that functionality by registering a comprehensive set of content management abilities and providing a simple admin interface to toggle each one on or off. Connect from claude.ai with just a URL Since version 2.1 the plugin ships an embedded OAuth 2.1 server built for claude.ai custom connectors. Add your site in claude.ai → Settings → Connectors, log in with your WordPress user, approve the consent screen — connected. No Client ID, no Application Password, no local configuration. Works from the claude.ai web app, mobile apps, and Claude Desktop Each team member authenticates with their own WordPress account and role — a subscriber can never do what only an editor should Every ability execution lands in the activity log under the real user’s name Works on single sites, subdirectory installs, and multisite networks (network-activate so the main site serves the OAuth discovery documents for every subsite) Prefer tokens? Application Passwords (per-user) and a single-admin Bearer token connect Claude Desktop / Claude Code, OpenAI Codex CLI, and Google Antigravity — the Connection tab generates ready-to-paste configuration for each client, and fills in your credentials automatically.
