What has to be true first

Disable Comments needs WordPress 6.9 or later and the plugin active. Reading or changing where comments are disabled requires manage_options (manage_network_plugins on a multisite network with sitewide settings on), and deleting comments requires the same capability.

A note on the count below

easymcp's listing counted only the read-only status ability; the source also registers a settings-write ability and a comment-delete ability.

How to switch these on

Four steps from two active plugins to a governed connection.

  1. Install Disable Comments and Agent Abilities for MCP

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

Yes. All three abilities register unconditionally whenever the plugin is active and the Abilities API is present, so the Bridge discovers the read, write and delete abilities as soon as an operator switches each one on.

Do Disable Comments's abilities register automatically?

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

Does Disable Comments need anything special to work with the Bridge?

Disable Comments needs WordPress 6.9 or later and the plugin active. Reading or changing where comments are disabled requires manage_options (manage_network_plugins on a multisite network with sitewide settings on), and deleting comments requires the same capability.

Verified from Disable Comments'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, WPDeveloper or Disable Comments.
