What has to be true first
Requires WordPress 6.5 or newer for the plugin itself; the Abilities API needs WordPress 6.9+ and all three abilities check the localform_manage_forms capability, which is granted to administrators and editors by default.
- The WordPress Abilities API functions (wp_register_ability, wp_register_ability_category) must exist

How to switch these on
Four steps from two active plugins to a governed connection.
Install LocalForm and Agent Abilities for MCP
Both plugins need to be active on the same WordPress site. LocalForm registers its own abilities; this plugin discovers and governs them.
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.
Enable one ability at a time
Every ability from LocalForm starts off. Turn on only the ones you want an agent to reach, or enable the whole set in one click.
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.

The WordPress Abilities API functions (wp_register_ability, wp_register_ability_category) must exist.
Does LocalForm need anything special to work with the Bridge?
