An agent can search users, read and send private messages, manage conversations and their participants, and moderate the messaging system by approving, rejecting, blacklisting, or whitelisting users.

Needs WordPress 6.9 or later with Better Messages active. Every one of its abilities checks the manage_options capability through an inline permission callback, so only a WordPress administrator account can use any of them through the Bridge, not the ordinary member who owns the conversation.
27 wp_register_ability calls read directly from the plugin's moderation, messaging, conversations, users, and participants ability files, matching the directory's count of 27 exactly. Each carries an explicit readonly/destructive annotation, so risk is read from the code rather than defaulted.

Four steps from two active plugins to a governed connection.
Both plugins need to be active on the same WordPress site. Better Messages 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 Better Messages 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. Better Messages registers its messaging, moderation, and participant operations as core WordPress abilities with no extra setting, so the Bridge can list and wrap every one once the operator switches it on.
Yes, unconditionally, once Better Messages is active. Nothing else has to be configured for the Bridge to discover them.
Needs WordPress 6.9 or later with Better Messages active. Every one of its abilities checks the manage_options capability through an inline permission callback, so only a WordPress administrator account can use any of them through the Bridge, not the ordinary member who owns the conversation.
An agent can discover ACF field groups, custom post types, and custom taxonomies that the site owner has opted into AI access, then list, read, create, update, and delete items of those content types along with their custom field values.
An agent can list and inspect tables, charts and media on the site, read the plugin's system info, licence tier and changelog, and create or edit Simple tables and charts, upload images from a URL, and update table, chart, or global plugin settings.
An agent can list, read, create, update and delete docs, doc categories/tags/glossary terms, FAQs and FAQ groups, attach FAQ groups to a doc, read per-doc view analytics, read the plugin's status, and read or update its settings.
Verified from Better Messages'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, wordplus or Better Messages.

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.
