AI Engine
by Jordy Meow on WordPress.org
AI meets WordPress. Your site can now chat, write poetry, solve problems, and maybe make you coffee.

AI Engine seamlessly connects WordPress with the world’s leading AI models. Create intelligent chatbots, generate content, build AI forms, and automate tasks—all from your WordPress dashboard.
You can create a chatbot to assist your visitors, answer support questions, or guide users through your products and services. Need fresh content? AI Engine can write posts in your voice, help rewrite existing ones, or translate them naturally into other languages. It can also generate custom images for your articles, refine messy text, or just lend a hand when you’re stuck.
For developers and power users, AI Engine offers internal APIs, shortcode flexibility, and advanced features like function calling and real-time audio chat. You can build your own AI-powered tools, automate tasks, or even create AI-driven SaaS applications on top of WordPress. And with support for a wide range of providers—OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Hugging Face, and more—you have full control over the models you want to use.
Everything is designed to feel native to WordPress. Whether you’re exploring ideas in the AI Playground, using Copilot to help in the editor, or letting an AI agent manage your content through MCP, AI Engine is built to grow with you—and shaped by real user feedback every step of the way.

MCP (Model Context Protocol)
While WordPress core may one day add MCP support, AI Engine is already there. We’ve built a smart wrapper around WordPress’s Core API that turns your site into an intelligent MCP server.
This means AI agents like Claude and ChatGPT can connect directly to your WordPress site and actually understand how it works. They can browse your content, edit articles, check SEO, manage your media files, and handle complex tasks without getting confused or lost like they do with regular APIs.
The best part? Other plugins can easily add their own features to this MCP system. SEO Engine, Social Engine, and Code Engine are already connecting (or will be soon), so AI agents can manage your entire WordPress site just like a skilled human would.
AI Engine also works the other way around—it can connect to external MCP servers, giving your AI access to tools and services beyond WordPress. This means your chatbots and AI assistants can tap into a growing ecosystem of MCP-enabled applications and APIs.
Beyond the Features
Since AI Engine has its own internal APIs, this allows you and others to integrate AI features to your WordPress. It has been officially integrated with many plugins to enhance their functionality. Here are a few examples:
My Dream for AI
I am thrilled about the endless opportunities that AI brings. But, at the same time, I can’t help but hope for a world where AI is used for good, and not just to dominate the web with generated content. My dream is to see AI being utilized to enhance our productivity, empower new voices to be heard (because let’s be real, not everyone is a native speaker or may have challenges when it comes to writing), and help us save time on tedious tasks so we can spend more precious moments with our loved ones and the world around us.
I will always advocate this, and I hope you do too 💕
