Elementor’s official MCP lets the AI tool you already use build and manage Elementor pages on your WordPress site. Here’s what an MCP actually is, why it matters for WordPress, and how to get started.

The chat on this site has no search index and no vector database. Every question sends my whole site to Claude in one request. Here’s how that works, what it costs, and what I found when I finally measured how big that blob had grown.

Two scanners graded my site on how usable it is by AI agents. The highest-scoring thing I added was a text file saying my site has no login.

WordPress now has two AI systems that point in opposite directions: one where WordPress calls an AI, and one where an AI calls WordPress. Here’s how each actually works as of WordPress 7.1, and why the Abilities API sitting underneath them is the part that matters.

I gave a talk at WordCamp US about whether WordPress is ready for the agentic web. My answer: core has the plumbing, the plugin ecosystem hasn’t shown up yet, and most of the agent-readiness checklist we’re all chasing does nothing at all right now.

A conversation about why WordPress core still ships so few AI abilities and the limitations they have got me thinking: why am I making my site fully dependent on Abilities…

A real example of hidden instructions embedded in a product’s website, why the same risk shows up in AI agent skills and hooks more broadly, and a free scanner worth knowing about before installing one.
