What has to be true first

Requires WordPress 6.2 or newer. Every ability checks the plugin's own manage_adcmdr_ads capability (granted to administrators by default), and each ability must also be switched on individually in settings before it appears in the registry.

  • The WordPress Abilities API functions (wp_register_ability, wp_register_ability_category) must exist
  • Each ability (get-ad-stats, list-ads, get-ad) is stored under its own option flag and defaults to disabled until the admin turns it on in the plugin's Abilities settings

The 3 Ad Commander abilities

Grouped by what each one can change. Every one starts off until you enable it.

How to switch these on

Four steps from two active plugins to a governed connection.

  1. Install Ad Commander and Agent Abilities for MCP

    Both plugins need to be active on the same WordPress site. Ad Commander registers its own abilities; this plugin discovers and governs them.

  2. Open the Other plugins screen

    In Agent Abilities for MCP, open the Bridge tab (labeled "Other plugins" in the admin). Abilities from every registered plugin appear there, grouped by the plugin that registered them.

  3. Enable one ability at a time

    Every ability from Ad Commander starts off. Turn on only the ones you want an agent to reach, or enable the whole set in one click.

  4. Connect as a least-privilege user

    Approve the connection as a WordPress account scoped to what you actually want the agent to do. Each call still re-checks that account’s capability before it runs.

Frequently asked questions

Does Ad Commander work with the Bridge?

Conditionally. The plugin's Abilities class registers three fixed read-only abilities on the WordPress Abilities API init hook, but each one is off until the site owner enables it in the plugin's ability settings.

What has to be true for Ad Commander's abilities to register?

The WordPress Abilities API functions (wp_register_ability, wp_register_ability_category) must exist. Each ability (get-ad-stats, list-ads, get-ad) is stored under its own option flag and defaults to disabled until the admin turns it on in the plugin's Abilities settings.

Does Ad Commander need anything special to work with the Bridge?

Requires WordPress 6.2 or newer. Every ability checks the plugin's own manage_adcmdr_ads capability (granted to administrators by default), and each ability must also be switched on individually in settings before it appears in the registry.

Verified from Ad Commander's own free wordpress.org code on 28 September 2026, not from its marketing claims. Not every ability listed here has been run end to end against a live site. Plugin authors change their code, so a name, a capability, or a condition can be different in a later release. This site is not affiliated with, or endorsed by, Wild Operation or Ad Commander.
