An agent can list recent backups with their status and size, start a new full-site or database-only backup, and poll a specific backup's progress until it completes.

Duplicator needs WordPress 6.9 or later and the plugin active. Listing backups and checking status require Duplicator's own basic-access capability, and starting a new backup requires its own create-backup capability, both mapped to Duplicator's internal permission levels rather than a single WordPress role.
Grouped by what each one can change. Every one starts off until you enable it.
Returns the 20 most recent backups with id, name, status, date and size.
Returns the status of a backup by id so an agent can poll it to completion.
Starts a new backup using the default template, optionally scoped to the whole site or the database only.
Four steps from two active plugins to a governed connection.
Both plugins need to be active on the same WordPress site. Duplicator 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 Duplicator 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.

Yes. The plugin's AI-ready addon registers all three backup abilities unconditionally into the core Abilities API when active, so the Bridge discovers and can expose them without any extra setup.
The AI Ready addon must not be turned off in Duplicator's Addons screen (enabled by default)..

An agent can list and toggle Jetpack feature modules, check and rebuild the XML sitemap, read a post's shortlink and Jetpack-computed related posts, and read or adjust Jetpack Monitor's uptime-notification settings.
An agent can list configured backup jobs, check whether a backup is currently running, start one on demand, cancel a stuck job, and pull backup log content to diagnose a failure, which is useful for taking a safety backup right before a risky change.
An agent can list backup snapshots, backup jobs, destinations, schedules, and queue items, look up a single backup, job, or queue item by id, and read the dashboard summary and system information. None of the ten abilities carry readonly or destructive annotations in the source, so none can be trusted at face value not to write.
Verified from Duplicator'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, Syed Balkhi or Duplicator.

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.
