What has to be true first

Needs WordPress 6.9 or newer with Everest Forms active. Each ability checks a dedicated everest_forms_* capability for the action and scope involved (view/create/edit/delete a form or entry), falling back to manage_everest_forms; activate-addon instead checks activate_plugins and also requires a separate confirm:true call before it takes effect.

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 Everest Forms and Agent Abilities for MCP

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

Yes. Everest Forms registers all 22 of its form, entry, and analytics abilities in the core Abilities API with synthesized readonly/destructive annotations, so the Bridge can classify and expose each one directly.

Do Everest Forms's abilities register automatically?

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

Does Everest Forms need anything special to work with the Bridge?

Needs WordPress 6.9 or newer with Everest Forms active. Each ability checks a dedicated everest_forms_* capability for the action and scope involved (view/create/edit/delete a form or entry), falling back to manage_everest_forms; activate-addon instead checks activate_plugins and also requires a separate confirm:true call before it takes effect.

More Forms plugins

An agent can list and inspect WPForms forms and their fields, read (limited, Lite-only) form stats, and create new forms or add and update fields on existing ones.

Verified from Everest Forms'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, wpeverest or Everest Forms.
