In Laymen's terms: Wordpress AI + FluentCRM + Wicked Evolutions
On this page Jacob Marinko posted something I found rather intriguing, but at the same time overwhelming. So I turned to chatGPT. This is its reply:
The “plugin” is not a normal AI writing assistant. It is an AI control layer for WordPress.
In plain English:
Wicked Evolutions is building a system that lets AI agents operate WordPress through structured, permission-aware “abilities” instead of random scraping, guessing, or browser clicking.
What it actually is
The docs describe a stack called Abilities for AI by Wicked Evolutions. Their homepage claims a complete reference for 740 abilities across 39 modules, connecting AI agents to WordPress through the WordPress Abilities API.
The architecture is roughly this:
- You use an AI client, for example Claude Code, Cursor, or another MCP-capable tool.
- That AI talks to a local Abilities MCP Bridge, a Node.js process.
- The bridge sends requests over HTTPS to your WordPress site.
- A WordPress plugin called Abilities MCP Adapter receives those requests.
- The adapter calls WordPress’s Abilities API.
- The registered abilities then perform real WordPress actions.
So the AI does not merely say, “Here is some PHP code.”
It can potentially say:
“Create this page.”
“Edit this block.”
“Read these CRM contacts.”
“Generate this dashboard.”
“Update this FluentCRM segment.”
“Diagnose this plugin state.”
And then actually execute structured calls.
The product suite
According to the docs, the suite has four main pieces:
Abilities for AI
This exposes WordPress core operations to AI: content, blocks, media, users, themes, settings, and related site functions.
Abilities for Fluent Plugins
This is the part that matters most for your Fluent ecosystem. It claims 382 abilities across 13 modules for Fluent plugins.
Abilities MCP Adapter
This is the WordPress plugin that translates AI/MCP requests into WordPress Abilities API calls.
Abilities MCP Bridge
This is the local bridge that connects AI clients to one or more WordPress sites. The docs describe it as multi-site capable.
Their GitHub profile also describes the project as infrastructure that makes WordPress “AI-native” by shipping ability libraries, protocol adapters, transport bridges, and a knowledge layer.
Why FluentCRM / FluentCommunity is central here
The GitHub repository list includes a project called abilities-for-fluent-plugins, described as a “first-party WordPress Abilities API translator for the Fluent plugin ecosystem,” covering CRM, Community, Forms, Boards, Booking, Cart, Affiliate, Support, SMTP, Auth, Snippets, and Messaging.
That means this is not just “AI for WordPress pages.”
It is trying to make the Fluent ecosystem operable by AI.
For you, that could eventually mean:
“Find everyone in FluentCRM who joined the Master Key community but has not bought VIP.”
“Create a FluentCRM automation for German users who clicked the Sacred Symbols iOS announcement.”
“Analyze FluentCommunity engagement and identify the most active members.”
“Draft a campaign for people who listened to chapter 7 but did not subscribe.”
“Create a dashboard of purchases, community activity, and CRM tags.”
That is the real promise.
The “Core CPT Bridge Effect”
One of the more interesting claims from their prototype docs is that AI can operate many WordPress plugins through WordPress’s own structures, especially custom post types. They call this the WordPress Core CPT Bridge Effect.
Plain English:
Many plugins store their data as WordPress posts, post meta, taxonomies, users, options, or custom database tables. If the AI can safely inspect and manipulate those structures through WordPress abilities, it may not need a custom integration for every single plugin.
That is powerful, but also dangerous if permissions and scope are not very strict.
What makes this different from ordinary AI plugins
Most AI WordPress plugins do one of these things:
They generate text.
They generate images.
They create SEO titles.
They summarize posts.
They add a chatbot.
They help write product descriptions.
This is different.
This is closer to:
“Let an AI agent use WordPress as an operating system.”
That means the AI can discover available functions, understand their required inputs, execute them, and return structured results.
The docs describe this as typed, schema-validated, permission-gated calls.
That phrase is important.
It means: the AI should not just freestyle. It should call known actions with known parameters, and WordPress should check whether the action is allowed.
The “Knowledge Layer”
Another big concept is their Knowledge Layer.
They describe it as persistent AI memory built into WordPress: the AI can read site identity and state documents, log sessions and observations, use tags, and continue work across conversations.
Plain English:
Instead of every AI session starting from zero, your WordPress site would contain a memory layer saying things like:
“This site belongs to Helmar.”
“The brand is Sacred Symbols.”
“German and English are primary languages.”
“Do not alter production CRM automations without approval.”
“The current project is the Master Key System content ecosystem.”
“These pages were edited last session.”
“These workflows are known and approved.”
That could be extremely useful.
It also means the site becomes not just a CMS, but an AI-operable knowledge environment.
Alpha / pre-alpha status
This is still early.
The public docs say v0.3.0.
The GitHub profile says Alpha launching April 2026.
The prototype repository says they are in pre-alpha, using the stack to build their own site and documenting every gap as a product improvement.
So I would treat this as:
Very promising architecture, but not yet something I would blindly trust on a production CRM.
The big opportunity for you
For your ecosystem, this could be huge.
You already have:
Sacred Symbols
FluentCRM
FluentCommunity
WordPress
Fluent/WordPress automations
Master Key System content
Audio/Music content
Possibly WooCommerce/FluentCart/Revenue-style flows later
A system like this could become the missing bridge between your ideas and the actual operational execution.
Instead of manually clicking through FluentCRM, FluentCommunity, WordPress pages, posts, tags, segments, automations, and content updates, you could eventually have an AI agent that understands:
“This is my business system. These are my users. These are my products. These are my campaigns. These are my communities. These are the rules. Help me operate it.”
That is exactly the kind of use case where “AI-native WordPress” becomes meaningful.
The big risk
The risk is equally obvious:
If the AI can operate WordPress, it can also break WordPress.
It might:
delete or overwrite content,
change CRM tags incorrectly,
send an email campaign too early,
modify automations,
touch live customer data,
misread purchase status,
change permissions,
or make a confident but wrong structural change.
This is why I would insist on:
staging-site testing first
Never start with your live Sacred Symbols or Master Key ecosystem.
read-only mode first
Let it inspect, summarize, diagnose, and report before allowing write actions.
approval gates
No sending emails, deleting data, modifying automations, or changing user roles without manual confirmation.
audit logs
Every ability call should be logged: who called it, what changed, when, and with what parameters.
strict scopes
The AI should only get access to the abilities it actually needs.
backups before write access
Especially before letting it touch FluentCRM, FluentCommunity, subscriptions, products, or user data.
My interpretation of the original Fluent post now
The Fluent community post was not merely saying:
“Here is a cool AI plugin.”
It was likely saying:
“Here is an early alpha of a WordPress AI infrastructure layer, with special relevance to Fluent users, because it exposes Fluent plugins as AI-operable abilities.”
That makes the “free LTDs for the extended Fluent Community” much more strategic. They want Fluent-heavy users as early testers because FluentCRM, FluentCommunity, FluentForms, FluentCart, FluentSupport, etc. are exactly the kind of structured business plugins where AI operation becomes valuable.
My honest verdict
This is genuinely interesting.
Not because of the marketing phrase “AI-native,” but because the architecture makes sense:
WordPress Abilities API
plus MCP
plus Fluent plugin abilities
plus a knowledge layer
equals an AI agent that can operate a WordPress business system.
For you personally, I would absolutely watch this and possibly join the alpha — but only with a staging site or a non-critical test installation first.
The best test case for you would not be “write a blog post.”
It would be something like:
“Connect to a staging clone of helmar.live, inspect FluentCRM and FluentCommunity structures, generate a read-only map of contacts, tags, spaces, posts, automations, products, and engagement flows — without changing anything.”
If it can do that cleanly, safely, and transparently, then it becomes very interesting.
Jacob Marinko PS: I love geodesic domes - and rammed-earth houses.
Helmar Rudolph then you and I are in good company!
Helmar Rudolph You mean like 'super adobe'? We're working on something like that in Costa Rica right now.
Geodesic domes are the bomb, too.
Christian Frank Rammed Earth is earth, sand and cement rammed into pre-fab "moulds" and then compacted (rammed) manually or mechanically. Super thermal mass, and really pretty to look at. If you have pics from CR, please DM. Would love to see what you're up to.
Helmar Rudolph Interesting! I started down the earth construction rabbit hole after seeing a video on seismic resistant adobe constructions in Guatemala. Let me see if I can find it (although it's in Spanish).
That is awesome Helmar Rudolph 👍 So the thing with this is, I decided I can not operate our sites through the Admin myself the 27th of February, so the product development became the constraint.
Everything released, including our own sites is open source by process. We build live with the products we develop. We being I and Claude with GPT 5.5 as the reviewer ✌️
I suggest you try it though before letting an AI who has not experienced it itself state the STATE of the Alpha. It is solid.
BUT, if you don’t know how to operate AI well you can break thing.
That is why we’ve built in 8 layers of permission architecture with 3 significant:
- Oauth Scopes
- Permissions for CRUD - you as an operator set and AI can’t touch even if you can ask it to change some in chat.
- Serious data reduction so no user data that should not flow through AI vendors leaves the site.
Try it. Ask your AI to tell you about the actual architecture, how it works, what it can do. Claude Desktop is very good at diagramming the experience.
There are kinks, surely, and we work daily to remove friction.
Thanks for the post, very warming and appriciated - without User feedback we wont know if this is useful, even if I run 10 sites with this in parallell in one mcp.
Create this page? Edit this block? Are you sure? There is no AI that builds proper pages that could be editable for simple users without code, or I should say there is no AI builder like that. And I can tell you I've built one just not launched commercially yet, AI generated designs pop into page as Gutenberg blocks. Even better, Greenlight blocks. Even better, whole site gets created on a fresh server. Even better, it works via fluentcart payments. Even better, anyone will be able to use it. Other than that, not much AI could do with this, it would need special plugins for performing special tasks, because giving access to data doesnt make AI do any magic.
Cointacter We are still learning here, and we build everything live as we develop but yes. We figured out how to teach AI to build full strict Gutenberg pages in 1 Ability Call. 40 blocks. One Call.
The hard part is to teach it how not to take shortcuts so we build SKILL, Prompts and such things.
Using the Gutenberg Editor since we created abilities for it:
blocks/parse blocks/serialize blocks/list-types blocks/get-type blocks/find-in-post blocks/get-at-path blocks/find-nested blocks/update-attributes blocks/update-at-path blocks/append-inner blocks/insert blocks/replace blocks/removeOur sites are in the making, but we build them live as we go. This is fully built by AI, theme and all. https://wickedevolutions.com/the-mirror-experiment/
Also this, fully built by AI through chat only and should be seen as a mvp in the making.

Jacob Marinko I dont understand why people here doing things that obviously fcom itself is doing. Few days ago they launched their own mcp for fluent products. Youre now launching wp mcp product which exists by wp itself, on top of that youre saying its for fluent products too. Couple of weeks another guy launched mcp for fluentcommunity here. Not trying to judge, but i dont understand the use of it, especially while fluent building their own tools for the same. Also especially when im building my own ecosystem and Im trying to come up with innovative needed things, and really i think i understand what im doing. There are many mcp plugins for wp already, also wp itself has it, and nobody will stop they will keep growing. So how is this different and why would I need it as a developer or as a site admin?
Cointacter When we started this project, in pre-research since dec 25, development launched 27th of feb 26, we built what did not exist. I understand the confusion.
We just dont want to wait for adoption. We decided to build what we needed. Beyond that, we’ve built things you, as of now, will not find in the official wordpress mcp adapter.
And all other MCPs posted are built for REST API. 1 MCP per site, per plugin and with that loading all those Tools x site x plugin.
The Abilities MCP handles ALL your sites and crossplugin in a completely different way. Our Abilities Adapter is built to pick up any plugin that register through the Wordpress Abilities API. It is just a new era so why not just try it and see what it can do?
It will take a while to grasp the conceptual and architectural changes Wordpress is transforming into.
And what it actually means when AI can operate it like this.
There is no hoax or joke here. Just a big shift in what it means to be someone smart enough to invest in wordpress and Fluent.
As a developer you should try it and tell me how it is useful for you. That is the while point.
Jacob Marinko it cannot be useful for me, it would just create more chaos for me. Same for any fluent products user. I dont understand how you dont understand certain things. How you dont understand that fluent team already has their own mcp product and they wont step buildint it further? And who are you, what is your product? Your products need mcps, not products of big companies. They will build their own ones, if havent done that already. I dont understand how you dont understand this, really. You need to build your product, something, some innovation, something that is needed, and add mcp and other integrations. Now, believe me, not even 1% will understand or even trust it, because you dont have a product for which mcp would be needed. I really wish the best but dont understand how u dont understand certain things yourself
Cointacter That is ok, what we don't understand we don't understand. We can always make the choice to explore the things we don't understand to gain understanding.
You have the full freedom to choose in your life. I choose to exercise the same freedom, and here is one expression of that choice.
The difference in between operating from belief and knowedge, is experience. What we have not experienced we can not know.
The door is open, friend. The choice is yours.
But if you want to trash here in public, that is fine.
Jacob Marinko dude, i have my own ecosystem, social terminal, social mining, and few other inventions, and im not calling myself social innovation entrepreneur. I have my own mcp plugin, for my own product. Im trying to give you understanding that nobody will care about your mcp unless you make your own product, especially fluent team. You dont understand the reality. Fluent team doesnt really care even about Ross's fca hub, and you expect them to care about your mcp on top of their products, while they have their own mcp. Good luck.
Cointacter man.. IMO this whole AI mcp connector topic is getting overwhelming.. straight up confusing for normies.. too much mumbo jumbo, blah blah blah... seems like everyone reinventing wheels with a different shine.. I'm starting to lean on the ninjas baking in the tools and rely on it instead of all these new complex products with expensive price tags.. and not including having to get a frontier AI service, costs, subscriptions (with constant changing plans.. looking at you Claude)..
Anyways, enjoy the ride and a laugh with classic comedy from Cheech & Chong, "Dave's Not Here" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1nxK_hGLTN4
Insta Net 😀😀😀 exfckingactly! Any agent will say yeah its a great idea lets do it. And then the guys doing it without understanding themselves what theyre doing 😀 i dont want people to waste their precious time and life, im trynna explain the reality. But sometimes its impossible, people get in love with their products even when there are no products...
Insta Net and Cointacter Seems like a lot hostility going on here with public trashing based on reasons in hidden agendas. I would be super sad to learn you "guys" work at WP Manage Ninja.
Before you trash without even examining the work behind it, maybe you should do that.
Just go through the repos.
And hey, you seem avid, FLUENT and techy so why not download the "shit" and examine it with your own skills or use an AI.
There is nothing hidden there, all is in the open.
There is NO PRICE here for 4 distinct Products fully operational. At least not until proven it can be worthy of a price, and if so it will be so ridiculously low in relation to the value propostition it seem crazy, weedy and purely stupid.
Yes, this is vibe coded by a human being who have bought LTDs on every possible Fluent Product, use every free Fluent Plugin and have invested 3 years in re-building our business on wordpress and Fluent.
Before that I have 29 years in the digital business realms building business, start-up and SAAS with teams. Now I focus on other things (namely social innovation in regenerative systems),
and this by-product of building AI operations for OUR business, is just shared for anyone who wants to try and see if it is useful. I built it for our sake, I share it Open Source GLP2 cause that is the central premise we operate our whole business philosophy on.
You guys seem scared, protective and plainly unnecessary rude
and if Shahjahan Jewel would like me, as a invested customer in Fluent and WP Manage Ninja, to take these down and ask me NOT promote in the Fluent Communities - I'd do that with out blinking. And still stay an ambassador, promoter and fan of what WP Manage Ninja release into the world.
What you are doing here is bringing the quality of these communities down to a low level, creating bad vibes...
With that, peace out and bless dudes! Keep vibing, keep thriving, keep striving and maybe reflect about Loving.
J.
Jacob Marinko Brother, youre wasting your time. And youre definitely not the one to teach me. Public trashing or whatever you call it, you can answer a single question to yourself - what is your mcp for... The earlier you get it, the better for you.
It connects my choice of AI and IDE’s from my local computer environment to the mcp adapter with decent security layers exposing all registered abilities using the wordpress abilities api and utilize the registered abilities in the two plugins making it so I can operate our 13 sites, 3 multisite and ten singles sites, fully through AI chat sessions with extremely high complexity and efficiency across all Fluent Plugins, wordpress core and any other plugin we use that exposes abilities and have CPT / meta backdoors.
That is it in a nut shell. In every sense of simplicity possible.
Any more questions you’d like for me to answer, dude.
Jacob Marinko if youre saying youre trying to become the #1 mcp tool for wordpress, i wish you good luck. But the way I see it, individual products or ecosystems should make their stuff available for wp's mcp, unless there would be a unified ecosystem that would integrate all relevant wp plugins for a reason. And this is exactly what im doing, so mcp would be just a little thingy on top of everything. Youre doing vice versa, first mcp then maybe a product or a brand. In my eyes its not going to help wp admins, more confuse them. Not trying to bully you, trying to discuss facts, I see too many sentences sayers around me especially here, and especially mcp doers, and especially doers of mcp for fluent ecosystem, multiple doers, when fluent team has their own. Does that make sense to you ?
Cointacter I am saying: This is what I built. Here you can try it if you want, for free, for life. You are actually getting things a bit wrong, friend. The MCP is as lightweight node.js solving an issue I had with needing multiple mcps to operate our wordpress sites. Now I use only this one for all of them, and also all of Fluent Plugins, Wordpress Core, Surecart, Presto, Astra, Spectra and a few other plugins where CPT access works, suchas pretty much the full Woo-commerce, Lifter LMS, Yoast SEO, Rank Math and combining workflow with all those very token efficient.
Then we have the Adapter which I decided to build away from the official MCP adapter due to its limitations, and built two stand alone Plugins, one for Wordpress Core (and Astra, Spectra, Presto and Surecart since we use that set up in one site) and one plugin for all Fluent Plugins so I can operate all of them through one connection, in one chat or multiple Claude Code sessions with subagents in parallell and build whatever I like chatting away with AI.
That is what I am saying I've built, how I use it and how I am learning more about how to expand that use.
Anything else you'd like to know? If not, I'd suggest you try it and then come back and trash how crappy it was some more.
I am all game for that. But if you don't want to do that you are not really adding anything of value here, are you?
Jacob Marinko put yourself in my shoes, or any other individual's shoes who is using fluent products. It would be extremely hard for you to convince me to try your mcp for fluent when fluent has their own, even if youd pay me money. If you need all of this for yourself, then youre a winner, you built it and you can use it.
In general, im trying to make you understand the reality around mcp and fluent, because its obvious you love your tool because its your child. Nothing exciting about another MCP, whether its for fluent or sure or buddyboss or peepso. If i would need 3rd party MCP Plugin, i would do my research and i highgly doubt it would be yours chosen. If you decided to nurture mcp for Wp the hard way, i mean u dedicate yourself to it, im saying dont do it. If youve built a tool which you needed to make your life easier - congrats youre a winner.
Jacob Marinko hope you will come up with something real and dope. The way youre trynna put me into shade or prove that something is wrong with me only proves again that you still dont understand what youre doing even after me investing 2 hours of my day into an human being who is far away from reality. U raised a question why Jewel doesnt give a shit about your stuff, i spent 2 hours explaining. Still no results.
Cointacter I get you. Sad to experience it from your side. Feel free to delete the posts and my account, problem solved.
I just meet bullies straight on and never back down.
Time for my meditation.
Jacob Marinko i aint no bully, im being real. you dont have to listen to me now, but you will remember my words. on the contrary, im trying to help you. Ive worked at paypal, google, fb, real marketing positions, i know what im doing and i neither talk or do bullshit and i straight tell you the reality. youre wasting your time. and you dont understand it. u can smoke a joint and think how cool is what i achieved, its not notcool, of course its cool, but if youre hoping to monetize grow and scale, its definitely not a product to do that especially. The world is like that, you cannot change the world, businesses grow, bigger businesses can move fast and are trusted, new busineses can not move at all. And ive seen many founders who struggle with the reality, not saying youre struggling or anything like that, im just saying your product has too much competition, isnt real, its not even a product, its an addition to somebody elses products. I dont understand how you dont understand what im telling you. I said many times the facts here already, still i hope to roll a dubie with you one day, even after you said you think im ill etc. :))))
Jacob Marinko in general what im saying is that mcp is an innovation by itself and companies are adapting to it. It would be extremely hard to become an important plugin for mcp in WP world. Im Not trying to stop you, im trying to make u understand the scope and whether it makes. Judging by your questionning why Jewel doesnt care, i think im helping.
Jacob Marinko Hey Jacob...go ahead ...you are doing a great job.... don't listen to anyone but your own passion and guts .... Remain indifferent to the "sour grapes" attitude.
arjun arjun thanks and enjoy! Let me know if you need anything or something is causing issues. Updating the abilities for fluent tomorrow with a massive set.
I am a pretty sturdy half Swedish half Balkan kind of guy so I enjoy the breeze the wind stirred up. It is after all an attention economy ✌️ I just focus and double down.
Just for the record: the purpose of this post was to help folks who aren't that tech-savvy a little on the way of how this emerging tech can be used in conjunction with FluentCRM. It was not intended to turn into a mud-slinging match and d*** comparison. So please hold your horses, and rather than throwing dirt at each other, why not help other newbies understand the implications, or cite some other real use-cases that have practical value in the website biz world.
Was kinda pointless what you guys did here - sorry.
Helmar Rudolph summarize everything i said and youll understand that i said facts that will help this guy to get where he wants to be. Pointless is just one thing here I would say - doing something what others have done, what bigger than u have done, multiple times. I believe he will come up with something that will stand his mcp out, but he was questionning why fluent team doesnt care about his MCP plugin so i explained the reality.
This is actually very exciting. I am looking forward to the finished product 🙂
Jacob Marinko I like where this is headed. I've wanted a single and centralized solution to manage WP for a while now (I manage 9 sites, 2 multi-sites, and 5 FComms, plus 3 law firms across the USA...and build automations for law firms), so I love to delegate as much as I can to Claude. I was trying something similar with Flowmattic's MCP, but creating single use tools is a bit tedious.
Christian Frank Happy to hear that! Now you have that solved 👍 Let me know if you need anything and bounce me an email with how it goes and what your experience is.
