What has to be true first

Sensei LMS and WordPress 6.9 or later must both be active for these abilities to appear in the registry. Courses and lessons require the matching edit_courses or edit_lessons capability, questions and students additionally require edit access to the specific lesson or course, and students also requires manage_sensei_grades.

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 Sensei LMS and Agent Abilities for MCP

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

Yes. It registers 4 read-only abilities under the sensei/ namespace with real annotations and per-ability permission callbacks, so the Bridge can list and switch on each one.

Do Sensei LMS's abilities register automatically?

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

Does Sensei LMS need anything special to work with the Bridge?

Sensei LMS and WordPress 6.9 or later must both be active for these abilities to appear in the registry. Courses and lessons require the matching edit_courses or edit_lessons capability, questions and students additionally require edit access to the specific lesson or course, and students also requires manage_sensei_grades.

Verified from Sensei LMS'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, Automattic or Sensei LMS.
