Description
StifLi Flex MCP brings the power of AI directly into your WordPress workflow. Write faster, edit smarter, and manage your entire site through natural conversation — without leaving the editor.
Three powerful tools in one plugin:
- AI Copilot — A floating assistant inside the Gutenberg and Classic editors that writes, rewrites, and optimizes your content in real time
- AI Chat Agent — A full conversational interface to manage posts, WooCommerce, settings, and more
- MCP Server — Connect ChatGPT, Claude Desktop, or any MCP client directly to your site
Choose between OpenAI (GPT-5.4), Anthropic (Claude 4.6 Opus/Sonnet), or Google (Gemini 3.1 Pro/Flash). No external tools, no complex setup — just your API key.
✍️ AI Copilot — Your Writing Assistant Inside the Editor
The AI Copilot lives as a floating widget right inside the WordPress post and page editor. It understands the full context of what you’re editing — title, content, categories, tags, featured image, and even WooCommerce product fields — and helps you write better, faster.
- Rewrite, expand, or optimize content — Ask the Copilot to improve your text and it applies the changes directly into the editor
- One-click quick actions — “⚡ Optimize content”, “🏷️ Generate tags”, “📝 Write excerpt”, “🖼️ Generate image” — one tap, instant results
- Real-time editing — The Copilot sets titles, excerpts, tags, slugs, and categories directly in the editor. No copy-pasting
- Content block operations — Insert, update, replace, or delete Gutenberg blocks through conversation
- Visual feedback — Changed fields and blocks are highlighted with a green border so you always see what the AI modified
- Keep or Undo — Every change shows a floating banner: keep it or undo with a single click. You stay in control
- Image generation — Ask the Copilot to generate an image and it sets it as the featured image or inserts it as a block, automatically
- Works with Gutenberg and Classic Editor — Full support for both editors
- Context-aware — The Copilot reads your current post content, blocks, metadata, and editor state to give relevant suggestions
- WooCommerce-aware — When editing a product, the Copilot sees prices, stock, SKU, attributes, and product type
🤖 AI Chat Agent — Your WordPress AI Assistant
The built-in AI Chat Agent gives you a powerful conversational interface to manage your entire WordPress site:
- Talk to your site — “Show me the last 5 orders”, “Create a blog post about SEO tips”, “What plugins are installed?”
- Multi-provider — Choose between OpenAI (GPT-5.4, GPT-5.3), Anthropic (Claude 4.6 Opus/Sonnet, Claude 4.5 Haiku), or Google (Gemini 3.1 Pro, Gemini 3 Flash)
- 117+ tools at its disposal — The AI agent can read posts, create content, manage WooCommerce products, check orders, update settings, and much more
- Smart suggestions — After each response, get contextual follow-up suggestions
- Conversation history — Auto-saved across sessions with multi-tab support
- Safe by design — Choose “Always Allow” or “Ask User” mode for tool execution confirmations
- Advanced tuning — Control temperature, max tokens, top_p, system prompts
💡 What Can You Do With It?
Here are just a few examples of what you can ask your AI agent:
- 📝 “Write a 500-word blog post about healthy eating and publish it as draft”
- 🛒 “Show me today’s WooCommerce orders and their total revenue”
- 🔍 “What are the top 10 most commented posts on my site?”
- 📊 “List all products with stock below 5 units”

- 🧩 “What plugins are currently active?”
- 🎨 “Generate a hero image for my latest blog post about technology”
- 🎬 “Create a 5-second promotional video for my new product”
The AI agent understands context, chains multiple operations, and works with your site’s real data in real time.
🎨 AI Image & Video Generation
Generate stunning images and videos directly from your AI agent or the dedicated Multimedia Settings page:
- Image Generation — “Generate a hero image for my blog post about AI” using OpenAI (gpt-image-1, DALL·E 2/3) or Google Gemini (Imagen 4)

- Auto-save to Media Library — Generated images and videos are automatically saved and ready to use
- Multi-provider — Choose your preferred provider and model per generation type
- Multimedia Settings — Dedicated admin page to configure providers, API keys, default sizes, quality, and post-processing options

FAQ
-
What is the AI Copilot?
-
The AI Copilot is a floating assistant that appears inside the WordPress editor (Gutenberg or Classic). It reads the context of what you’re editing and helps you write, rewrite, optimize, generate tags, create excerpts, and even generate images — all without leaving the editor. Every change can be undone with one click.
-
How is the Copilot different from the Chat Agent?
-
The Copilot lives inside the post/page editor and is focused on writing and content editing. It works directly with the editor fields (title, content blocks, excerpt, tags, etc.).
The Chat Agent is a standalone admin page where you can manage your entire WordPress site through conversation — create posts, manage WooCommerce orders, check settings, install plugins, and more.
Both use the same AI provider and API key.
-
How do I set up the AI Chat Agent?
-
- Go to StifLi Flex MCP AI Chat Agent Settings
- Choose your AI provider (OpenAI, Claude, or Gemini)
- Enter your API key (you get this from your AI provider’s website)
- Go to the Chat tab and start talking!
-
Which AI provider should I use?
-
All three providers work great. Here’s a quick comparison:
- OpenAI (GPT-4o / GPT-4.5) — Best overall balance of speed and quality
- Claude (Opus / Sonnet) — Excellent at understanding complex instructions and writing
- Gemini (2.5 Pro / Flash) — Great value, fast responses
You can switch providers at any time from the Settings tab.
-
What can the AI agent do with my site?
-
The agent has access to 117+ tools covering:
- Content — Create, edit, delete posts, pages, and comments
- Media — Upload, list, and manage images and files
- AI Generation — Generate images (DALL·E, Imagen) and videos (Sora, Veo) with AI
- WooCommerce — Products, orders, coupons, customers, shipping, taxes
- Taxonomies — Categories, tags, custom taxonomies
- Settings — Site options, menus, navigation
- System — Plugins, themes, site health
You control which tools are available through Profiles.
-
Is it safe to let AI manage my site?
-
Yes, with multiple layers of protection:
- Tool confirmations — In “Ask User” mode, you approve every action before it executes
- Permission checks — Every tool verifies WordPress capabilities before running
- Profiles — Restrict which tools are available (e.g., “Read Only” profiles)
- Application Passwords — Revocable at any time for MCP server connections
-
What is MCP?
-
Model Context Protocol (MCP) is a standard for connecting AI agents to data sources and tools. This plugin implements an MCP server so external AI clients like ChatGPT or Claude Desktop can discover and use your WordPress tools. This is in addition to the built-in AI Chat Agent.
-
Does this work with WooCommerce?
-
Yes! The plugin includes 61 WooCommerce tools. They activate automatically when WooCommerce is installed. Ask your AI agent “Show me today’s orders” and it just works.
-
Can I create my own tools?
-
Absolutely! Go to MCP Server Custom Tools and create PHP-powered tools that expose any plugin’s functionality to your AI agent. Built-in examples included.
-
Can the AI generate images?
-
Yes! The
wp_generate_imagetool supports multiple providers:- OpenAI — gpt-image-1 (recommended), DALL·E 3, DALL·E 2
- Google Gemini — Imagen 4
Just ask your AI agent “Generate an image of…” or configure defaults in StifLi Flex MCP Multimedia Settings Images.
-
Can the AI generate videos?
-
Yes! The
wp_generate_videotool supports:- OpenAI Sora — Text-to-video and image-to-video generation
- Google Veo — Veo 2 and Veo 3 models
Video generation runs asynchronously in the background. Configure providers and API keys in StifLi Flex MCP Multimedia Settings Videos.
-
Where do I configure API keys for image/video generation?
-
Go to StifLi Flex MCP Multimedia Settings. API keys are shared between the Images and Videos tabs — enter your OpenAI or Gemini key once and it works for both.
-
What are WordPress Abilities?
-
WordPress 6.9 introduced the Abilities API, letting plugins register standardized capabilities. If you have plugins that support Abilities, StifLi Flex MCP can auto-discover and import them from MCP Server Abilities tab.
-
How do I connect ChatGPT or Claude Desktop?
-
- Go to StifLi Flex MCP MCP Server for the endpoint URLs
- Create an Application Password (Users Profile Application Passwords)
- Configure your external AI client with the SSE endpoint and credentials
- The client will auto-discover all available tools
