MCP Tracker is an admin-only WordPress plugin designed to monitor and log MCP (Model Context Protocol) requests made to the Abilities API on your WordPress site.\nIf you are using the Abilities API to power AI-driven tools or MCP-based integrations, MCP Tracker gives you complete visibility into how those tools interact with your REST endpoints \u2014 without modifying or interfering with request flow.\nThe plugin automatically detects MCP requests (identified via the Mcp-Session-Id<\/code> header), records detailed request and response data, and presents everything in a structured, filterable interface inside WordPress Admin.\nWhether you're debugging Abilities API integrations, auditing MCP tool usage, or analyzing response behavior, MCP Tracker provides the observability layer you need.<\/p>\n\n

          What is MCP?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

          MCP (Model Context Protocol) is a protocol for communication between AI models and external tools or services. This plugin helps you monitor MCP-related requests to your WordPress site.<\/p><\/dd>\n

          Does this plugin modify REST requests?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

          No. MCP Tracker only logs requests for monitoring purposes. It does not modify, block, or alter any REST API requests or responses.<\/p><\/dd>\n

          Where is the data stored?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

          All logged data is stored in a custom database table in your WordPress database. No data is sent to external services.<\/p><\/dd>\n

          Will this slow down my site?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

          No. The plugin uses efficient WordPress hooks and database queries with minimal performance impact. Logging only occurs for MCP requests (identified by the Mcp-Session-Id<\/code> header).<\/p><\/dd>\n

          Can I delete old logs?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

          Currently, logs are stored indefinitely. You can manually clear the database table if needed. Future versions may include automatic cleanup options.<\/p><\/dd>\n

          Who can access the MCP Tracker interface?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

          Only users with the manage_options<\/code> capability (typically administrators) can access the MCP Tracker admin interface.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
