When WP Rollback is active:

  • rootsandfruit/plugin-update-git-safe (when Git Updater is active)

Dependencies

  • WordPress 6.9+ (Abilities API)
  • MCP Adapter plugin (for Cursor MCP discovery)
  • Public Post Preview plugin (preview abilities register only when this plugin is active)
  • Block MCP by GravityKit (block abilities; see below)
  • FluentSnippets plugin (snippet abilities; see below)
  • WP Rollback plugin (plugin-update-safe; see below)

Block editor bridge

When gk-block-mcp is active, block abilities register on the same MCP Adapter surface. Use blocks-* for Gutenberg body edits; use update-post for title/excerpt only on block posts.

Safe plugin updates

Requires update_plugins (admin MCP user, not the content agent role).

  1. Call rootsandfruit/plugin-update-safe with a WordPress.org plugin slug.
  2. Ability captures pre-update version, updates from wordpress.org, smoke-tests homepage.
  3. On smoke failure, rolls back via WP Rollback step runner (not REST).

Custom abilities via FluentSnippets

  1. Create a snippet with rootsandfruit/snippets-create (tagged rf-ability, saved as draft).
  2. Use templates/rf-ability-snippet.example.php and rf_register_agent_abilities() inside wp_abilities_api_init.
  3. Activate with rootsandfruit/snippets-activate after review.
  4. Call rootsandfruit/snippets-verify after update/activate to loopback-check runtime (returns ok and error in one call).
  5. Custom rootsandfruit/* abilities in the snippet appear in MCP discover.

Snippet management requires unfiltered_html (typically administrator).

robots.txt / llms.txt updates

Requires custom capability update_robots_llms_txt (granted to Administrator on activate/upgrade).

  1. rootsandfruit/get-robots-llms-txt with file: robots, llms, or llms-full — returns content and sha256.
  2. Edit locally (see agent repo content/discovery/).
  3. rootsandfruit/update-robots-llms-txt with content, expected_sha256 from step 1, optional dry_run, purge_breeze.
  4. Update-only: files must exist at the document root; no create or delete via MCP.

Disable writes in wp-config: define( 'RF_ROBOTS_LLMS_TXT_WRITABLE', false );

Use an administrator Application Password — not the content agent role (unless you explicitly grant update_robots_llms_txt).

Agent role capabilities

Recommended custom role caps:

  • read, edit_posts, publish_posts, upload_files
  • edit_published_posts, edit_others_posts (if editing existing content)
  • No delete_*, manage_options, update_robots_llms_txt, or plugin caps

Installation

  1. Copy the plugin folder to wp-content/plugins/rootsandfruit-abilities/
  2. Activate via Plugins screen
  3. Activate gk-block-mcp for block editor abilities
  4. Confirm abilities appear in Abilities Explorer
  5. Run audit-mcp-abilities.ps1 from the rootsandfruit-as-client repo
