WordPress + MCP Development

Use this skill to ship production-grade WordPress plugins, MCP servers, or both together.

Workflow

1. Identify target product shape: plugin, mcp-server, or hybrid.
2. Choose architecture and scaffold from the relevant reference.
3. Implement minimum viable vertical slice first:
   • Plugin: one secure REST route + one real feature path.
   • MCP: one read-only tool + one mutating tool with safe validation.
   • Hybrid: one plugin endpoint consumed by one MCP tool.
4. Add safety controls before expanding scope: capability checks, nonce/auth, sanitized errors, and rollback strategy.
5. Validate against checklists before release.
