Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Cowboy MCP

The Model Context Protocol is an open standard that allows AI agents to interact with external tools and data sources through a unified interface. This plugin implements an MCP server that exposes WordPress management capabilities.
Any MCP-compatible agent that supports Streamable HTTP transport. This includes Claude Code, Codex, and Opencode. More agents are adding MCP support regularly.
The plugin is designed with security in mind: API keys are bcrypt-hashed and never stored in plain text, all requests are rate-limited, and safe mode (enabled by default) requires explicit confirmation for destructive operations. Every tool call is logged in the audit log. That said, you are granting an AI agent significant control over your site — use it responsibly and review the audit log regularly.
API keys are shown only once when generated. If you lose a key, revoke it from Settings > Cowboy MCP and generate a new one.
No. The plugin is completely self-contained and makes no outbound connections. AI agents connect to your site — the plugin never phones home.
The cowboy_mcp_tool_allowed filter lets you block specific tools per-request. You can also use the cowboy_mcp_tools filter to modify the tool registry.
