Manage your site with your favourite AI. Connects this site to Claude, ChatGPT or any MCP client through the WPMate service.

== Description ==

Mate Connector is the official connector plugin for WPMate (wpmate.ai).


WPMate lets you manage this site by chatting with your AI assistant:

* Write, edit and publish posts and pages (drafts first, with preview links)
* Upload images, set featured images and fill in missing alt text
* Install, update and remove plugins and themes, with a snapshot before every change
* Restyle the site with custom CSS, with one-step undo
* Run SEO and security audits and fix what they find

Publishing, deleting and code changes wait for your approval in the WPMate dashboard.

= How it connects =

1. Create a free account at wpmate.ai and click "Create connection code".
2. In WordPress go to Settings → WPMate, paste the code and click Connect.
3. Add WPMate to Claude or ChatGPT as a connector.

No password is shared. Each request from WPMate is signed with a secret unique to your site and is rejected if it is unsigned, older than five minutes or reused.

= External service =

This plugin connects to the WPMate service at https://wpmate.ai, operated by PILOTLAB LLC (Wyoming, USA), which you sign up for separately. When you connect, the plugin sends this site's address, name, WordPress version and plugin version to WPMate. Afterwards WPMate sends signed requests to this site when you ask your AI assistant to do something. Terms: https://wpmate.ai/terms. Privacy: https://wpmate.ai/privacy.

== Installation ==

1. Install and activate Mate Connector from Plugins → Add New, or upload the zip.
2. Create a free account at https://wpmate.ai and click "Create connection code".
3. Go to Settings → WPMate, paste the code and click Connect.
4. In Claude or ChatGPT, add WPMate as a connector using https://wpmate.ai/mcp and sign in.

== Privacy ==

Mate Connector stores a connection secret and the WPMate site ID in this site's options. It contacts WPMate only when you click Connect. After that, WPMate contacts this site with signed requests when you ask your AI assistant to do something; each action and its result are logged in your WPMate dashboard. Plugins and themes are only ever installed from WordPress.org. Disconnecting (Settings → WPMate, or deleting the plugin) removes the stored secret.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Which user does WPMate act as? =

The administrator who clicked Connect. If that user loses admin rights, WPMate stops working until an admin reconnects.

= My host asks for FTP details when updating plugins. =

WPMate can only install and update code when WordPress can write files directly. Everything else still works.

= How do I disconnect? =

Settings → WPMate → Disconnect, or remove the site in your WPMate dashboard.

== Changelog ==

= 1.0.0 =
* First public release: content, media, plugins, themes, custom CSS, settings, SEO audit and security audit tools, with approvals, revisions and rollback snapshots.
