title: Inhale: MCP Abilities description: A deliberate, considered way to expose registered WordPress abilities to the default MCP server.

Inhale: MCP Abilities is a small WordPress plugin that gives site administrators a settings page for choosing which registered abilities are visible to the default MCP server. It is a free utility built by Respira.

What Inhale: MCP Abilities does

• Lists every ability registered with WordPress's Abilities API across all active plugins and themes.
• Lets you choose which abilities are exposed to the default MCP server via simple checkboxes.
• Surfaces annotation metadata (read-only, destructive, idempotent) on each ability so you can make informed decisions.
• Asks for a single browser confirmation when you inhale an ability marked destructive.
• Shows the endpoint your MCP client should connect to, with guides for the common clients.

What Inhale: MCP Abilities doesn't do

• Inhale: MCP Abilities does not run MCP servers, transports, or authentication. Those are handled by the WordPress MCP Adapter, which Inhale: MCP Abilities extends.
• Inhale: MCP Abilities does not register any abilities of its own. It only toggles visibility of abilities other plugins have registered.
• Inhale: MCP Abilities does not phone home, collect telemetry, or make external network requests.
