No release zip yet. The repository archive installs, but the folder name will carry the branch suffix and updates will not flow:

wp plugin install https://github.com/laithsinawi/acf-abilities-api/archive/refs/heads/main.zip
Readme github.com/laithsinawi/acf-abilities-api ↗

A one-filter plugin that turns on ACF's Abilities API, exposing field groups, custom post types, and taxonomies through the WordPress Abilities API so MCP clients (Claude, Cursor, etc., via an MCP Adapter plugin) can discover and manage ACF-driven content directly.

Project-agnostic — this isn't tied to any one site. Drop it into any project alongside ACF and an MCP adapter as part of the standard build setup.

Requirements

  • WordPress 6.9+
  • ACF 6.8+
  • An MCP server implementation (e.g. the MCP Adapter plugin)

Setup

  1. Install and activate this plugin.
  2. Install and activate ACF and an MCP adapter plugin.
  3. In wp-admin → Custom Fields, a new ACF AI tab appears — toggle AI access globally and per field group/post type/taxonomy there. New items created after activation get AI access automatically; existing items need it turned on manually.

What it does

add_filter( 'acf/settings/enable_acf_ai', '__return_true' );

That's the entire plugin — matches ACF's own documented setup step exactly.
