What has to be true first

Joinchat needs WordPress 6.9 or later and the plugin active. Generating a WhatsApp URL is open to any caller. Reading or writing the phone number, call to action, or pre-filled message requires edit_posts when a post_id or term_id is passed, or manage_options for the global setting (filterable via joinchat_capability).

The 5 Joinchat 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 Joinchat and Agent Abilities for MCP

    Both plugins need to be active on the same WordPress site. Joinchat 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 Joinchat 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 Joinchat work with the Bridge?

Yes. All five abilities register unconditionally with the core Abilities API when the plugin is active, so the Bridge discovers and can expose each one as soon as an operator turns it on.

Do Joinchat's abilities register automatically?

Yes, unconditionally, once Joinchat is active. Nothing else has to be configured for the Bridge to discover them.

Does Joinchat need anything special to work with the Bridge?

Joinchat needs WordPress 6.9 or later and the plugin active. Generating a WhatsApp URL is open to any caller. Reading or writing the phone number, call to action, or pre-filled message requires edit_posts when a post_id or term_id is passed, or manage_options for the global setting (filterable via joinchat_capability).

Verified from Joinchat'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, Creame or Joinchat.
