An agent can check an image's optimization status, quota and account plan, optimize or restore a specific media item, kick off a bulk optimization run, read or update Imagify's settings, and queue missing WebP/AVIF generation.

Imagify needs WordPress 6.9 or later and the plugin active. Most abilities check Imagify's own manage capability, while restore-media, bulk-optimize and generate-missing-nextgen check WordPress's manage_options directly.

Four steps from two active plugins to a governed connection.
Both plugins need to be active on the same WordPress site. Imagify Image Optimization registers its own abilities; this plugin discovers and governs them.
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.
Every ability from Imagify Image Optimization starts off. Turn on only the ones you want an agent to reach, or enable the whole set in one click.
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.
Read more in how bridging works or the full documentation.
Yes. All 10 abilities register unconditionally with the core Abilities API when the plugin is active, alongside Imagify's own bundled MCP server, so the Bridge discovers them independently of that server.
A valid Imagify API key is needed for optimize-media, bulk-optimize and generate-missing-nextgen to actually process images, though they still register without one.. update-settings cannot change the API key when it is hard-coded via the IMAGIFY_API_KEY constant..
Imagify needs WordPress 6.9 or later and the plugin active. Most abilities check Imagify's own manage capability, while restore-media, bulk-optimize and generate-missing-nextgen check WordPress's manage_options directly.
An agent can list and read galleries, list gallery layouts and their setting schemas, search the media library for attachments, create a new gallery from attachment IDs, and update an existing gallery's settings, layout, or attachment list.
An agent can add YouTube, Vimeo, or self-hosted videos to the media library, look up, update, or delete existing video records and their shortcodes, manage chapter markers, and read or change Presto Player's global settings.
An agent can scan a site for external or broken (404) images, start or stop the background import that downloads and rewrites them locally, check import progress and stats, and wipe the stored statistics and cache.
Verified from Imagify Image Optimization'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.

Every ability starts off, is scoped to the user you connect, and is written to the same audit log as core. Turn on only what you need.
Off by default. Capability checked on every call.
