What has to be true first

SureMail must be active with WordPress 6.9 or newer. Every ability checks the manage_options capability, and the write and delete abilities additionally require the plugin's own edit or delete option to be enabled in its settings.

  • The plugin's own suremails_abilities_api_edit option must be turned on before add-connection, update-connection, send-test-email, resend-email, and update-settings will pass their permission check.
  • The plugin's own suremails_abilities_api_delete option must be turned on before delete-connection and delete-email-logs will pass their permission check.

How to switch these on

Four steps from two active plugins to a governed connection.

  1. Install SureMail and Agent Abilities for MCP

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

Yes. It registers fourteen abilities through wp_register_ability whenever WordPress 6.9's Abilities API is present, covering connections, email logs, stats, and settings.

What has to be true for SureMail's abilities to register?

The plugin's own suremails_abilities_api_edit option must be turned on before add-connection, update-connection, send-test-email, resend-email, and update-settings will pass their permission check.. The plugin's own suremails_abilities_api_delete option must be turned on before delete-connection and delete-email-logs will pass their permission check..

Does SureMail need anything special to work with the Bridge?

SureMail must be active with WordPress 6.9 or newer. Every ability checks the manage_options capability, and the write and delete abilities additionally require the plugin's own edit or delete option to be enabled in its settings.

Verified from SureMail'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, Brainstorm Force or SureMail.
