Biggest opportunity: Swap “ai”, “ai agent” and “chatgpt” for “agents”, “opencode” and “ai sales agent”. “ai” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “agents” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “ai agent” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #14. “opencode” sits at #7 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “chatgpt” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #14. “ai sales agent” sits at #8 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →17%
of downloads still active
At least 3K of 17.5K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median AI plugin keeps 1.4%, across 1,010 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other AI plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 19 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.

What to do about it
- Swap “ai”, “ai agent” and “chatgpt” for “agents”, “opencode” and “ai sales agent”. “ai” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “agents” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “ai agent” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #14. “opencode” sits at #7 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “chatgpt” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #14. “ai sales agent” sits at #8 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- One page off on “ai agent”. #14 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
- One page off on “chatgpt”. #14 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
- One page off on “claude”. #11 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

All reviews on wp.org ↗- ★★★★★ Muhammad Ukasha4mo ago
For months, I was looking to automate publishing posts on my WP site and stumbled upon this plugin. It genuinely saves time. Now I just give Claude a doc with an image, and it automatically selects the category, sets the SEO title and meta description, all without me touching the WP dashboard. Highly recommend it if you’re looking to connect an AI agent to your site. This topic was modified 4 days, 16 hours ago by Muhammad Ukasha.

I’ve been waiting for a WordPress MCP solution that doesn’t require juggling multiple plugins or setting up a separate adapter service. This plugin delivers exactly that. The big differentiator: The built-in native MCP server is the killer feature. You activate the plugin, copy your connection details from MCP > Connection, and you’re done.No WordPress MCP Adapter, no external services, no Docker containers. It just works.
