Code Engine – PHP Snippets, AI Functions & Automation for WordPress vs AI Kansoku Lab Tracker

Code Engine is a snippets manager that doesn’t stop at snippets. Yes, it runs your PHP and JavaScript exactly where and when you want: frontend, backend, on a schedule, or inside your content. But its real magic is what happens after you write a function: the same little piece of code instantly becomes a tool your AI chatbots can call, a step you can drag into a visual workflow, and an endpoint the outside world can trigger. One function, three superpowers. Most “code snippets” plugins stop at a textarea and a toggle. Code Engine treats your functions as first-class building blocks for the whole Meow Apps ecosystem, and for anything that can speak REST. Think out of the box, let your creativity flow, because the possibilities really are endless! ✨ For more, check the official website and come say hi on the Discord. Quick Intro Hello! ☀️ I built Code Engine because I was tired of pasting mystery snippets into functions.php and praying. I wanted a place where small bits of code are organized, safe, AI-assisted, and reusable everywhere. Here’s the idea. You write a function (or let the AI write it for you from a plain-English description). That function immediately shows up in three places: AI Engine: your chatbots and MCP clients (Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code) can call it as a tool, with real arguments. Ask “how many orders shipped today?” and your chatbot runs your function to answer. Workflow Engine: your function appears in the step picker as its very own block. Drag it onto the canvas, wire it between an AI step and a Slack step, done. No glue code. REST / External tools: give it a secure endpoint and a token, then trigger it from Make.com, n8n, Zapier, a cron job, or a webhook. You never wrote an “integration.” You just wrote a function. Code Engine did the rest. 🤝 Core Modules 🧩 Snippets Manager Backend, Frontend, Persistent, Scheduled, Functions, and in-content (PHP/JS) snippets, all in one clean dashboard with tags, search, scope filters, and priorities. 🪄 AI-Assisted Coding Describe what you want in plain English and let AI Engine write the snippet: code, name, arguments, and scope included. Refine existing code or implement it straight from your comments. 🤖 Functions as AI Tools Every Function snippet becomes a function-calling tool and an MCP tool, so your AI Engine chatbots (and external AI agents) can actually do things on your site, not just talk. 🔀 Functions as Workflow Steps Workflow Engine surfaces each of your functions as its own draggable step. Your custom logic becomes a first-class citizen on the automation canvas. 🌐 External Access (REST) Expose any runnable snippet through a secured REST endpoint with a bearer token. Perfect for Make.com, n8n, webhooks, and scheduled external jobs. 🛡️ Safe Mode A snippet that throws a fatal error is automatically caught and disabled before it can take your site down. Code with confidence. ⏰ Scheduling Run a snippet daily at a chosen time via WP-Cron (reports, cleanups, syncs) without touching the server crontab. 🧱 Code Blocks & Shortcodes (Pro) Drop PHP or JS straight into a post or page with a Gutenberg block or the [code-engine] shortcode, with safety guards. 🧩 Snippets, the way they should be Code Engine organizes your code by scope, so each snippet runs exactly where it belongs: Persistent: runs everywhere (frontend and backend). Your everyday “add this to functions.php” code, but managed. Frontend: runs only on the public site. Backend: runs only in the admin. Function: a named, callable function with typed arguments and defaults. This is the reusable building block (see below). Scheduled: runs on a WP-Cron schedule, at the hour and minute you pick. Content (PHP / JS): runs inside a specific post or page, via a Gutenberg Code Block or the [code-engine] shortcode (Pro). Everything is searchable, taggable, sortable by priority, and importable/exportable. The CodeMirror editor gives you proper syntax highlighting and keyboard shortcuts (Cmd+S to save, Cmd+Enter to run). A nikic/php-parser pass validates your PHP before it ever runs. 🪄 Let AI write it for you Don’t feel like writing the boilerplate? Describe the snippet in plain language and Code Engine, powered by AI Engine, generates the whole thing: the code, a sensible name, a description, the right scope, and, for functions, the argument list with names, types, and defaults. Already have code? Ask the AI to modify it from a prompt, or write a few comments describing what you want and let it fill in the implementation. It’s pair programming, right inside your dashboard. ✨ The big idea: write once, use everywhere This is what makes Code Engine different. A Function snippet is not just code you call from other code. It’s a reusable capability that the rest of your stack can plug into. The moment you save it, the same function is available in three places at once: 1. As an AI tool, for chatbots and AI agents With AI Engine active, your functions are exposed through function calling and over MCP (Model Context Protocol). Your on-site chatbot can run them mid-conversation, and external AI agents (Claude, Claude Code, ChatGPT, OpenClaw) can call them too. Want a chatbot that checks stock, looks up a booking, or kicks off a process? Write the function; the chatbot gains the skill. 2. As a workflow step, for automation With Workflow Engine, every active function shows up in the Add-step picker as its own block, named after your snippet, with one input per argument. Drag it onto the canvas and wire it between other steps: an AI step that summarizes, your function that saves, a Social Engine step that posts. There’s also a generic “Execute snippet (by ID / by name)” step when you want to call one dynamically. You never write integration code; your function is the integration. 3. As a REST endpoint, for the outside world Give a snippet a custom endpoint name and a bearer token, and it’s instantly callable from anywhere: POST /wp-json/code-engine/v1/snippets-endpoint/your-endpoint Pass arguments as JSON in the body, secure it with a token, and trigger it from Make.com, n8n, Zapier, GitHub Actions, or a humble cron job. Automation without a middleware bill. 🛡️ Safe by default Running arbitrary code is powerful, so Code Engine takes safety seriously: Safe Mode catches fatal errors and auto-disables the offending snippet, so a typo never white-screens your site. REST whitelisting means global snippets only run on trusted REST routes by default, so you choose what to open up. Per-snippet tokens secure your external endpoints. Validation with a real PHP parser before code is saved. For developers who want fewer guardrails, there’s a “Bypass REST Security” option and filters (mwcode_rest_authorized, mwcode_rest_whitelist) to tailor exactly what’s allowed. Works beautifully with the Meow Apps family Code Engine is one engine in a connected set, each one useful alone, magical together: AI Engine: chatbots, content generation, and MCP. Turns your functions into AI tools. Workflow Engine: visual automation. Turns your functions into draggable steps. SEO Engine: smart, lightweight AI SEO.

AI Kansoku Lab Tracker detects visits from AI-related crawlers such as GPTBot, ChatGPT-User, ClaudeBot, and PerplexityBot using PHP server-side detection. AI crawlers often do not execute JavaScript, so JavaScript-based analytics tools such as GA4 may not record these visits as normal pageviews. This plugin helps site owners observe AI crawler activity at the server level. Detected crawler visits are stored in your WordPress database. Optional external tracking is available only when you explicitly enable it in the settings page. Features 34 AI-related crawler patterns from 20+ companies – GPTBot, OAI-SearchBot, ChatGPT-User, ClaudeBot, Claude-SearchBot, Claude-User, Anthropic-AI, PerplexityBot, Perplexity-User, Google-Extended, Google-NotebookLM, Google-Agent, ByteSpider, Meta-ExternalAgent, Meta-ExternalFetcher, AppleBot, AppleBot-Extended, DeepSeek, Grok, xAI-SearchBot, CopilotBot, Bingbot, AmazonBot, YandexBot, YouBot, Diffbot, ShapBot, TavilyBot, DuckAssistBot, Cohere-AI, Timpibot, FirecrawlAgent, and related access patterns Training vs. user-triggered classification – Crawler visits are classified as either “Autonomous AI (training/patrol)” or “Human-triggered AI reference,” showing whether your content is being collected for AI training or actually being looked up because someone asked an AI about it Local crawler logging – Detected visits are stored in your WordPress database 30-day trend analysis – Dashboard with 30-day / 7-day period switching AI Exposure Score – Visibility score based on crawler activity Crawler breakdown – See which AI-related services visit your site most Top pages – Identify which pages AI crawlers focus on Explicit opt-in for external tracking – External transmission only activates when you enable it via checkbox Minimal performance impact – Optional external requests use non-blocking POST requests Front-end only – Does not fire on admin, cron, AJAX, or REST API requests WordPress standards – Uses wp_remote_post, register_setting, nonce verification, and proper escaping throughout 日本語の説明 AI Kansoku Lab Tracker は、GPTBot・ChatGPT-User・ClaudeBot・PerplexityBot などの AI 関連クローラーがあなたのサイトを訪問した記録を、WordPress 上で検知・可視化するプラグインです。 AI クローラーは JavaScript を実行しないことが多いため、GA4 などの JavaScript ベースのアクセス解析では通常のページビューとして記録されない場合があります。本プラグインは PHP によるサーバーサイド検知を採用し、AI クローラーの訪問をサーバーレベルで観測できるようにします。 検知したクローラーのログは WordPress のローカルデータベースに保存されます。外部トラッキングを有効にした場合のみ、AI観測ラボへデータを送信します。 主な機能: 20社以上・34種類のAI関連クローラーパターンを検知 「学習・巡回AI」と「人間起点のAI参照」を区別して表示 — サイトがAIの学習データとして収集されているだけなのか、それとも誰かが実際にAIに質問した結果として読まれているのかが一目でわかります 検知ログを WordPress のローカルDBに保存 30日間のトレンド分析（7日間表示への切り替え対応） AI露出スコアによる可視化 クローラー種別の内訳表示 よく見られているページの可視化 外部トラッキングは明示的なオプトイン方式 管理画面・AJAX・REST API・WP-Cron では実行しない設計 開発・運営: AI観測ラボ How It Works When a front-end page is requested, the plugin checks the User-Agent string against known AI-related crawler patterns. If a match is found, the detected visit is stored in your WordPress database. If you have explicitly enabled external tracking and configured a Site ID, the plugin also sends an asynchronous POST request to the AI Kansoku Lab API. This optional external request uses a non-blocking request so that the site visitor experiences no delay. External Services This plugin may connect to the following external service: AI Kansoku Lab https://www.ai-kansoku.com External tracking is opt-in only. Data is only transmitted after you explicitly enable external tracking in the plugin settings page.
