What It Does
MCP Abilities – Scriptless Social Sharing is an optional Adapter for the Scriptless Social Sharing plugin. It exposes the current settings, reports whether automatic buttons are disabled on a post, and updates that per-post state.
The Real Workflow
- Read the site-wide Scriptless Social Sharing settings when context is needed.
- Inspect the current per-post state before changing it.
- Enable or disable automatic sharing buttons for the exact post.
- Read the post state again whenever another workflow needs confirmation.
Why This Feels Different
The Adapter works with the supported plugin’s existing option and post-meta model. It does not replace the sharing plugin, recreate its frontend, or introduce a second settings store.
Before vs After
| Before | After |
|---|---|
| Open each post in the WordPress editor to inspect sharing state. | Read the exact state through scriptless/get-post-sharing. |
| Toggle the per-post setting manually. | Apply the same reversible change through one authenticated Ability. |
| Assume a database write worked. | Report success only when the requested state is present afterwards. |
Who It Is For
- Sites already using Scriptless Social Sharing.
- WordPress automation clients that coordinate article publication and sharing controls.
- Operators who want a small Adapter rather than a second social-sharing system.
Requirements
- WordPress 6.9 or later.
- PHP 8.0 or later.
- The WordPress Abilities API.
- Scriptless Social Sharing active on the same WordPress installation.
- An authenticated user with
manage_options.

- The Adapter remains inactive when Scriptless Social Sharing is unavailable.
- No external service or third-party PHP library is bundled.
