Every well-run site deserves a proper butler. Albert stands at the door of your WordPress site, ready to welcome AI assistants like Claude and ChatGPT and put them to work.<\/p>\n\n
Install Albert, grant an AI assistant access, and it can start managing your site \u2014 writing and editing posts, organizing media, moderating comments, and handling day-to-day tasks. No custom code, no complicated setup. Albert takes care of the introductions.<\/p>\n\n
Albert presents AI assistants with a curated set of abilities \u2014 the tasks they're permitted to carry out on your site. When plugins like WooCommerce or Advanced Custom Fields are active, Albert extends the service with additional abilities tailored to each one.<\/p>\n\n
Not every guest needs access to every room. From the admin panel, you decide exactly which abilities are on the tray and which stay behind closed doors. You remain in charge \u2014 Albert just makes sure your instructions are followed.<\/p>\n\n
Every AI assistant must present proper credentials before Albert lets them in. Connections are secure, scoped, and fully under your control.<\/p>\n\n
Albert does not collect, store, or transmit any user data to external servers. All authentication tokens are stored locally in your WordPress database. When you authorize an AI assistant, that assistant will have access to perform actions on your WordPress site according to the permissions you grant. You control which abilities are enabled and can revoke any session at any time.<\/p>\n\n

Full setup guide available at Documentation<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\nWhat AI assistants are supported?<\/h3><\/dt>\nAlbert works with Claude Desktop<\/strong>, ChatGPT<\/strong>, and any AI assistant that supports the Model Context Protocol (MCP). The connection process is the same for all: copy the endpoint URL, paste it into your assistant, and authorize.<\/p><\/dd>\nHow hard is it to set up?<\/h3><\/dt>\nThree steps: add yourself as an allowed user, copy the MCP endpoint URL, and paste it into your AI assistant. No technical knowledge required.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Is my data secure?<\/h3><\/dt>\nYes. Albert uses OAuth 2.0 \u2014 the same standard used by Google, GitHub, and other major platforms. Your AI assistant receives a time-limited access token that automatically refreshes. No passwords are shared. All operations respect WordPress's built-in capability and role system, and you control exactly which abilities are enabled.<\/p><\/dd>\n
What abilities are included?<\/h3><\/dt>\nAlbert ships with 25+ abilities covering WordPress core:<\/p>\n\n
\n- Posts<\/strong> \u2014 Find, view, create, update, and delete posts<\/li>\n
- Pages<\/strong> \u2014 Find, view, create, update, and delete pages<\/li>\n
- Users<\/strong> \u2014 Find, view, create, update, and delete users<\/li>\n
- Media<\/strong> \u2014 Find, view, upload media, and set featured images<\/li>\n
- Taxonomies<\/strong> \u2014 Find taxonomies, find\/view\/create\/update\/delete terms<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
When WooCommerce is active, additional abilities are available for products, orders, and customers.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Can I control what my AI assistant is allowed to do?<\/h3><\/dt>\nYes. The abilities page lists every action your AI assistant can perform on your site, clearly labelled as Read, Write, or Delete. You toggle each one on or off individually \u2014 changes save instantly, no form to submit. Filter the list by text, category, or supplier to find what you're looking for. Write and delete abilities are off by default \u2014 you choose exactly what to enable. All actions also respect WordPress user capabilities, so your AI assistant can never do more than the authorized user could do manually.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Do I need WooCommerce?<\/h3><\/dt>\nNo. Albert works with WordPress core out of the box. WooCommerce abilities appear automatically when WooCommerce is active.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Can I add custom abilities?<\/h3><\/dt>\nYes. Developers can register custom abilities using the WordPress Abilities API to expose any functionality to AI assistants. See the documentation at GitHub<\/a>.<\/p><\/dd>\nDoes this work with multisite?<\/h3><\/dt>\nAlbert is designed for single-site installations. Multisite support is on the roadmap.<\/p><\/dd>\n
