Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Rapls AI Chatbot – Self-Hosted RAG & MCP Server
Yes — the plugin is free, and the onboarding panel connects a no-credit-card OpenRouter or Google Gemini free-tier key in about a minute. Free tiers have rate limits, so for production traffic you may want your own provider key.
Yes. Rapls runs on your own API key so your data and cost stay under your control. If you do not have one, the plugin guides you to a free OpenRouter key or a free Google Gemini key on first setup — both need no credit card.
Not if you don't want it to. Turn on Grounded Answers Only and the bot replies "I couldn't find that on this site" whenever your content has no relevant answer, instead of answering from the model's general knowledge.
No. Usage Control caps daily usage per guest and per logged-in user on the server side, separate from rate limiting. Pro adds role-based limits and per-user credits.
Yes. The free version ships an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server with 5 tools, so AI agents such as Claude or ChatGPT can search your posts, read knowledge entries, and act on your site through conversation. Pro adds product-search and analytics tools on top.
It depends on the provider you choose, and the plugin tells you before you pick. OpenRouter free models are served by various upstream providers, each with its own data-handling policy. The Google Gemini free tier may use your submitted content to improve Google's models — if you do not want that, use a paid Gemini tier or another provider. Either way, your conversations and keys are stored on your own WordPress install, not on Rapls servers.
Yes. Google is moving Gemini API keys from the legacy "AIza" standard format to the new "AQ." auth format, and Google AI Studio now issues "AQ." keys by default. Rapls works with both. Google is retiring the standard format (unrestricted "AIza" keys are rejected from 2026-06-19, and all "AIza" keys from 2026-09), so if you still have an "AIza" key the plugin shows a notice with how to migrate. New keys created today are already "AQ." keys and need no action.
Yes. Configure multiple providers in Settings and switch between them. WordPress 7.0 Connectors API also supports unified key management.
Yes. Site Learning is on by default: it learns your published posts, pages and other public post types once a day, and learns a post again when you update it. Turn it on or off, or run it right away, in Settings > AI Settings > Site Learning. Choosing which content types to learn and how often, excluding pages, managing the learned pages and learning WooCommerce product data are part of Pro.
Yes. Configure cross-site embed in Display Settings. Use iframe or script loader.
