AI Workflow Automation – AI Agent Hub

by Azizul Hasan

Description

AI Agent Hub is the most complete AI integration plugin for WordPress. It provides 80+ abilities across 10 modules, a built-in MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for AI agent connectivity, AI experiments directly in the Gutenberg block editor, role-based access control, JWT authentication, a workflow builder, and full WooCommerce support.

Highlights

80+ registered abilities covering posts, pages, media, users, custom post types, REST API discovery, site diagnostics, WordPress settings, WooCommerce, and AI-powered content analysis.
10 independently toggleable modules – enable only what you need.
AI Experiments in the Block Editor – Generate excerpts, feature images, and more directly from the post editor with multi-provider AI support.
Built-in MCP server – expose abilities as tools, resources, and prompts to AI agents over JSON-RPC 2.0.
External Abilities – automatically discovers and integrates abilities from WordPress core and third-party plugins via the Abilities API.
JWT authentication – secure MCP and REST API access with token-based auth.
Workflow builder – combine abilities into reusable workflows from the admin dashboard or the post editor meta box.
Multi-provider AI – connect OpenAI, Google Gemini, or Anthropic Claude via the WordPress AI Client.
Role-based access control – assign abilities per WordPress role so each MCP connection only exposes what that user is allowed to use.
Backward compatible – bundles the WordPress Abilities API and MCP Adapter as vendor dependencies, so it works on WordPress 6.8+ (not just 6.9+ where these APIs ship in core).

Connecting AI Agents via MCP

AI Agent Hub includes a built-in MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that lets external AI agents interact with your WordPress site. The MCP endpoint is:

https://your-site.com/wp-json/awfah_mcp/mcp

Any MCP-compatible AI client can connect and use all enabled abilities as tools, resources, and prompts.

AI Agent Hub Dashboard

The plugin adds a top-level “AI Agent Hub” menu in WordPress admin with:

Connected AI Agents – shows which AI providers are available (Auto, OpenAI, Gemini, Claude) and their status.
Modules & Features – 10 module cards with independent on/off toggles.
Workflow Builder – search abilities, drag them into a workflow, preview the prompt, and save.
Access Control – assign abilities and workflows per WordPress role.
Documentation – built-in getting started guide with Pro features overview.
Contact Support – direct link to support.

Post Editor Meta Box

On every post and page edit screen, the AI Content Steward meta box provides:

Provider selection (Auto, OpenAI, Gemini, Claude).
Ability checkboxes to select which analyses to run.
Editable prompt preview that updates as you select abilities.
One-click workflow execution.
Save workflows for reuse.

Connecting AI Agents

Claude Desktop

Claude Desktop supports MCP servers natively. To connect it to your WordPress site:

Step 1: Generate a JWT token

Send a POST request to your site to get a JWT token:

curl -X POST "https://your-site.com/wp-json/jwt-auth/v1/token" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d "{\"username\":\"your-username\",\"password\":\"your-password\",\"expires_in\":2592000}"

This returns a token valid for 30 days (2592000 seconds). Copy the token value from the response.

Step 2: Configure Claude Desktop

Open the Claude Desktop config file:

Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

Add this MCP server entry:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "wordpress": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@anthropic-ai/mcp-wordpress-remote@latest",
        "--url",
        "https://your-site.com/wp-json/awfah_mcp/mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "JWT_TOKEN": "paste-your-jwt-token-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Step 3: Restart Claude Desktop

After saving the config, restart Claude Desktop. All enabled abilities will appear as tools. You can then ask Claude to manage posts, pages, media, users, settings, and WooCommerce from natural language.

Claude Code (CLI)

Claude Code can also connect to MCP servers. Add the server using:

claude mcp add wordpress -- npx -y @anthropic-ai/mcp-wordpress-remote@latest --url https://your-site.com/wp-json/awfah_mcp/mcp

Then set the JWT token as an environment variable before running Claude Code:

export JWT_TOKEN="paste-your-jwt-token-here"

Cursor / Windsurf / Other MCP Clients

Any editor or AI tool that supports MCP can connect. The setup is similar:

Generate a JWT token (see above).
Point the MCP client to: https://your-site.com/wp-json/awfah_mcp/mcp
Use the @anthropic-ai/mcp-wordpress-remote transport package, or configure your client’s native MCP settings with the URL and JWT token.
The authentication header format is: Authorization: Bearer <your-jwt-token>

Postman / API Testing

You can test the MCP endpoint directly using Postman or any HTTP client. The MCP protocol uses JSON-RPC 2.0 over HTTP.

Step 1: Initialize a session

Send a POST request to https://your-site.com/wp-json/awfah_mcp/mcp with:

Header: Authorization: Bearer <your-jwt-token>
Header: Content-Type: application/json
Body:
{
“jsonrpc”: “2.0”,
“id”: 1,
“method”: “initialize”,
“params”: {
“protocolVersion”: “2024-11-05”,
“capabilities”: {},
“clientInfo”: { “name”: “postman”, “version”: “1.0” }
}
}

Copy the Mcp-Session-Id header from the response.

Step 2: Send initialized notification

Send a POST with the session ID header:

Header: Mcp-Session-Id: <session-id-from-step-1>
Body:
{
“jsonrpc”: “2.0”,
“method”: “notifications/initialized”
}

Step 3: Call a tool

Now you can call any ability as a tool:

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 2,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "awfah-site-get-site-info",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}

Note: In MCP tool names, the / in ability IDs is replaced with -. So awfah-site/get-site-info becomes awfah-site-get-site-info.

JWT Token Management

AI Agent Hub provides three JWT endpoints:

Generate token: POST /wp-json/jwt-auth/v1/token – Pass username, password, and optional expires_in (seconds, min 3600, max 2592000).
List tokens: GET /wp-json/jwt-auth/v1/tokens – List all active tokens (requires authentication).
Revoke token: POST /wp-json/jwt-auth/v1/revoke – Revoke a specific token (requires authentication).

Tokens are signed with HS256 using a per-site secret key stored in the awfah_jwt_secret_key option. Each token includes the user ID, issued-at time, expiration, and a unique JTI.

Role-Based MCP Access

AI Agent Hub provides role-based access control for MCP connections. This means different WordPress users see different abilities depending on their role.

How it works:

An administrator configures which abilities each WordPress role can access via the Access Control tab in the AI Agent Hub dashboard.
When an AI client connects via MCP, it authenticates as a specific WordPress user (using JWT or Application Password).
The plugin checks that user’s role and only exposes the abilities assigned to that role.
The AI client can only see and execute the allowed abilities — everything else is hidden.

Example scenarios:

Administrator — Full access to all 80+ abilities including post CRUD, site settings, user management, media, WooCommerce, and content analysis.
Editor — Content-focused abilities only (e.g. analyze posts, generate excerpts, suggest titles, focus keywords). No access to site settings, user management, or destructive operations.
Author / Contributor — Can be fully restricted or given a minimal subset of abilities as configured by the site admin.

Setting up role-based access:

Go to the AI Agent Hub dashboard in WordPress admin.
Click the Access Control tab.
Select a role from the dropdown.
Check or uncheck abilities to grant or revoke access for that role.
Click Save. Changes take effect immediately for all MCP connections using that role.

Multiple MCP connections:

You can create multiple MCP connections in your AI client config, each authenticating as a different WordPress user. For example:

A “full-access” connection using an administrator account.
A “content-only” connection using an editor account.

This lets you switch between permission levels depending on the task at hand.

Application Passwords (Alternative)

If you prefer not to use JWT, you can also authenticate with WordPress Application Passwords (available in WordPress 5.6+):

Go to Users > Profile > Application Passwords.
Create a new application password.
Use Basic Auth with your username and the application password.

However, JWT is recommended for MCP connections as it avoids sending credentials with every request.

What AI providers are supported?

AI Agent Hub supports any provider the WordPress AI Client supports for text generation, including:

OpenAI (GPT models)
Google Gemini
Anthropic Claude

Configure providers under Settings > AI Credentials.

How many abilities does the plugin register?

Over 80 abilities across 10 modules: Content Steward (8), Posts (13), Pages (5), Media (7), Users (7), Custom Post Types (6), REST API Tools (3), Site Info (4), Settings (3), and WooCommerce Store Manager (24).

Does it work with WordPress versions before 6.9?

Yes. AI Agent Hub bundles the WordPress Abilities API and MCP Adapter as vendor dependencies. This means it works on WordPress 6.8 and above, even on versions where these APIs are not yet included in WordPress core.

Can I use this with Claude Desktop?

Yes. AI Agent Hub includes a built-in MCP server. See the Connecting AI Agents section above for step-by-step setup.

Is there a Pro version?

Yes! AI Agent Hub Pro unlocks unlimited workflows, T/R/P access modes, advanced AI experiments (templates, batch mode, explain, history, shortcuts), workflow prompt builders, external abilities, per-ability RBAC, and priority support.

Does the WooCommerce module require WooCommerce?

Yes. The AI Store Manager module only registers its abilities when WooCommerce is active. If WooCommerce is not installed, the module toggle is available but abilities will not load.

Can I disable modules I do not need?

Yes. Each module has an independent toggle in the AI Agent Hub dashboard. Disabled modules do not register their abilities or expose them via MCP.

Why do I see “AI analysis failed”?

This usually means no AI provider is configured. Go to Settings > AI Credentials and verify at least one provider is set up. Enable WP_DEBUG_LOG and check debug.log for lines beginning with [AI Agent Hub].

Where is the post editor meta box?

Open any post or page in the editor. Look for the “AI Content Steward” meta box in the sidebar or below the editor. You can select abilities, preview the prompt, and run workflows.
