Read-only AI-ready Markdown endpoints for WordPress and WooCommerce content.

Description

AI Content API gives your site a machine-friendly layer without scraping HTML.

It creates read-only endpoints that return structured Markdown with YAML frontmatter, so AI systems can understand your catalog and content faster.

Core endpoints:

  • /ai-page/{slug}.md
  • /ai-product/{slug}.md
  • /ai-index.json
  • /ai-sitemap.xml (with grouped child sitemaps)

Key benefits:

  • Faster AI ingestion from clean Markdown
  • Better discoverability via index and sitemap
  • Safe by design (read-only, no order or customer data access)
  • Works with WordPress pages/posts and WooCommerce products
  • Built for extensibility with filters/actions

What this plugin does:

  • Returns markdown with YAML frontmatter
  • Supports simple, variable, and grouped WooCommerce products
  • Adds an AI index endpoint for quick endpoint discovery
  • Adds AI sitemap XML for crawler-based discovery
  • Supports optional noindex and robots sitemap integration
  • Provides transient caching and cache invalidation hooks
  • Offers an admin settings screen with endpoint controls

What this plugin never does:

  • Create orders
  • Process payments
  • Modify posts or products
  • Expose private/draft/password-protected content
  • Expose users, customers, or order data

Installation

  1. Upload the plugin to /wp-content/plugins/ or install it from the WordPress plugins screen.
  2. Activate AI Content API.
  3. Go to Settings > AI Content API and review options.
  4. Save settings once to refresh endpoint rewrite rules.
  5. Test discovery endpoint: /ai-index.json?source=ai-agent.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this plugin safe for production stores?

Yes. It is read-only and intentionally excludes checkout, payments, users, and order/customer data operations.

Does it work without WooCommerce?

Yes. Page/post endpoints work without WooCommerce. Product endpoints activate only when WooCommerce is active and enabled in plugin settings.

Why do I get 404 on AI endpoints?

Usually rewrite rules need refresh. Go to Settings > Permalinks and click Save Changes, or use the plugin's rebuild-permalinks action.

How do AI agents discover links?

Use /ai-index.json and /ai-sitemap.xml. You can also enable robots.txt sitemap output and alternate markdown links.

Which languages are bundled?

The plugin includes gettext translation catalogs for:

  • Arabic (ar)
  • French (fr_FR)
  • Spanish (es_ES)
  • German (de_DE)
  • Italian (it_IT)

Developers can extend translations using languages/ai-content-api.pot.
