12 AI meets WordPress. Your site can now chat, write poetry, solve problems, and maybe make you coffee.
13
14 == Description ==
15
16 **AI Engine connects WordPress with AI models.** Build intelligent chatbots, generate content, create AI forms, and automate tasks. All from your WordPress dashboard.
17
18 Please make sure you read the [disclaimer](https://meowapps.com/ai-engine/disclaimer/). For more information, check the official website of [AI Engine](https://meowapps.com/ai-engine/).
19
20 == Quick Intro ==
21
22 Hello! ☀️ I built AI Engine to bring OpenAI, Claude, and other AI models into WordPress. Create chatbots that understand your content, generate posts in your voice, translate instantly, create images, or build custom AI tools.
23
24 For developers: [internal APIs](https://ai.thehiddendocs.com/php-functions/), [REST endpoints](https://ai.thehiddendocs.com/public-rest-api/), [function calling](https://ai.thehiddendocs.com/function-calling/), and [MCP support](https://ai.thehiddendocs.com/mcp/). Build AI features, automate workflows, or create SaaS applications on WordPress.
25
26 Feeling overwhelmed? 🤪 Start simple: Create a chatbot. Then connect [Claude Code](https://ai.thehiddendocs.com/mcp/mcp-server-claude-code/), [Claude](https://ai.thehiddendocs.com/mcp/mcp-server-claude/), or [ChatGPT](https://ai.thehiddendocs.com/mcp/mcp-server-chatgpt/) through MCP, giving AI direct access to your site. Add [SEO Engine](https://wordpress.org/plugins/seo-engine/) and watch it manage SEO in ways you never imagined. You can even connect AI Engine to multiple WordPress sites and manage them all through conversation.

193 == My Dream for AI ==
194
195 I am excited about AI, but I believe we need to use it with intention and clarity. Social media showed us how powerful tools can reshape our lives in ways we never expected, sometimes for the better, sometimes not. I want to avoid repeating those mistakes. AI should help us remove the meaningless, tedious work or enhance the work we enjoy. Modern tools should give us more time for what truly matters: spending beautiful moments with the people we love! 💕
196
197 == Installation ==

202 4. Add your API key in Settings (Meow Apps > AI Engine)
203 5. Start creating! 🚀
204
205 == Disclaimer ==
206
207 AI Engine is a plugin that helps you to connect your websites to AI services. You need your own API keys and must follow the rules set by the AI service you choose. For OpenAI, check their [Terms of Service](https://openai.com/terms/) and [Privacy Policy](https://openai.com/privacy/). It is also important to check your usage on the [OpenAI website](https://platform.openai.com/usage) for accurate information. Please do so with other services as well.
208
209 The developer of AI Engine and related parties are not responsible for any issues or losses caused by using the plugin or AI-generated content. You should talk to a legal expert and follow the laws and regulations of your country. AI Engine does only store data on your own server, and it is your responsibility to keep it safe.

214
215 == Frequently Asked Questions ==
216
217 = Why am I getting "Error 429: You exceeded your current quota"? =
218
219 This error comes from OpenAI's API, not AI Engine. Set up billing limits in your [OpenAI account](https://platform.openai.com/account/billing). Caching plugins can sometimes store error responses, so [clear your caches](https://ai.thehiddendocs.com/common-issues/exceeded-current-quota/) too.
220
221 = Who is AI Engine for, and how do I manage usage limits? =
222
223 AI Engine can be used by site owners, administrators, and visitors via chat widgets. To set query limits and prevent unlimited model runs, follow the [Managing Limits guide](https://ai.thehiddendocs.com/limits/).
224
225 = Does the chatbot support my language? =
226
227 AI models support many languages, but quality varies. There's no definitive list since models are constantly updated. [Test your language](https://ai.thehiddendocs.com/faq/does-it-support-my-language) in the AI Playground.
228
229 = How does MCP work, and what can I do with it? =
230
231 MCP (Model Context Protocol) exposes WordPress tools to AI agents. [Learn how to enable the MCP endpoint](https://ai.thehiddendocs.com/mcp/), choose which tools to expose, and secure them. You can manage posts, comments, users, media, and more.
232
233 = Can I restrict the chatbot to answer only from my site content? =
234
235 You can't completely block the model's built-in knowledge, but you can [use smart prompts and embeddings](https://ai.thehiddendocs.com/restrict-chatbot-topics/) to steer conversations toward your content.
236
237 = The chatbot doesn't appear or looks odd on my site =
238
239 Check the [Common Issues guide](https://ai.thehiddendocs.com/common-issues/) for solutions to REST API problems, caching conflicts, nonce errors, and layout glitches.
240
241 = Where can I learn the basics and troubleshoot problems? =
242
243 Start with the [Basics guide](https://ai.thehiddendocs.com/basics/) for installation and key concepts. For specific issues, check [Common Issues](https://ai.thehiddendocs.com/common-issues/).
244
245 = How do I report security issues? =
246
247 Report security vulnerabilities through the [Patchstack Vulnerability Disclosure Program](https://patchstack.com/database/vdp/9e5fbbbc-964a-4204-8bc0-198f21284efd).
248
249 == Changelog ==
250
251 = 3.3.4 (2026/01/30) =
252 * Fix: Prevent duplicate shortcut transients from being created on every page.
253 * Fix: Hotfix TypeError crashes in MCP tool calls when JSON-RPC requests are missing an id field.

255 * Add: Add a new MCP "Database" module that lets you execute SQL queries.
256 * Update: Remove the default popup title and AI name fallback so leaving the title field empty now shows no title at all.
257 * Fix: Resolve a PHP 8.2 deprecation warning related to a dynamic property.
258
259 = 3.3.3 (2026/01/27) =
260 * Add: Introduce a Streamable HTTP transport for MCP so Claude Code can connect directly to WordPress.
261 * Fix: Prevent unsafe file renaming during metadata updates.
262 * Fix: Hotfix SSRF vulnerabilities by using wp_safe_remote_get for external URLs and secure URL fetching in audio transcription and file handling.

268 * Add: Load plugin translations properly with load_plugin_textdomain to ensure all text is translatable.
269 * Fix: Via MCP, ensure scheduled posts created via wp_update_post respect the schedule_for parameter and edit_date flag so they publish at the correct time.
270 * Add: New MCP integration for Polylang.
271 * Fix: Improve Gemini 3 support, restoring vision capabilities, function calling, and enforcing a single candidate response, and fixed image generation pricing.
272 * Add: Support image generation via OpenRouter.
