GoldT WebMCP Bridge

GoldT WebMCP Bridge (also branded as Goldnat AI Connect) enables AI agents to interact with your site through secure OAuth 2.0 authentication using the Servio Protocol.

Perfect for AI-powered customer support, automated content analysis, intelligent search, and custom AI integrations.

✨ Features

• Servio Protocol Support – Industry-standard AI integration
• Secure OAuth 2.0 – Same security standard as Google, Facebook, GitHub – your passwords stay safe
• 8 Pre-registered AI Clients – Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok, Perplexity, Copilot, Meta AI, DeepSeek
• 7 Tools – WordPress content tools plus optional translation via MyMemory API
• Translation Provider – Choose AI self-translate, MyMemory API, or disabled
• Dynamic Manifest – Instructions adapt to your settings so AI agents don’t invent capabilities
• Rate Limiting – Prevent abuse (50 req/min default)
• Security Controls – Token management, block specific users
• Zero Configuration – Works out of the box
• Extensible – Add custom tools via developer hooks

🎯 Quick Start for AI Users

Using ChatGPT or Claude?

Tell your AI agent:

“I want to connect you to my WordPress site at https://mysite.com using the Goldnat AI Connect for WordPress plugin. The manifest is at /api/aiconnect-manifest. Use OAuth 2.0 with client_id: claude-ai”

The AI will guide you through OAuth authorization – you’ll approve access in your browser.

🤖 Supported AI Agents

Pre-registered and ready to connect:

• Claude AI – Use client_id: claude-ai (Anthropic)
• ChatGPT – Use client_id: chatgpt (OpenAI)
• Gemini – Use client_id: gemini (Google)
• Grok – Use client_id: grok (xAI)
• Perplexity AI – Use client_id: perplexity
• Microsoft Copilot – Use client_id: copilot
• Meta AI – Use client_id: meta-ai (Facebook)
• DeepSeek – Use client_id: deepseek

All clients use OAuth 2.0 with PKCE and redirect_uri: urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob (out-of-band).

🛠️ Available Tools

1. wordpress.searchPosts – Search posts with filters
2. wordpress.getPost – Get single post by ID or slug
3. wordpress.searchPages – Search pages
4. wordpress.getPage – Get single page by ID or slug
5. wordpress.getCurrentUser – Get authenticated user info
6. translation.translate – Translate text via MyMemory API (when Translation Provider = mymemory)
7. translation.getSupportedLanguages – List supported language codes (when Translation Provider = mymemory)

🔒 How Authentication Works

Secure OAuth 2.0 Authentication:

Uses the same security standard trusted by Google, Facebook, and GitHub:

1. AI agent initiates OAuth flow with code challenge (PKCE)
2. User approves in browser (consent screen)
3. Agent receives one-time authorization code
4. Agent exchanges code for access token using code verifier
5. Agent uses token for API calls

The AI agent operates as the user who authorized:
* The agent receives an OAuth token linked to that user’s ID
* All API requests run with that user’s permissions
* The agent respects WordPress user capabilities

Examples:

If Administrator authorizes:
* ✅ Sees all posts (including drafts, private)
* ✅ Full access based on admin capabilities

If Subscriber authorizes:
* ✅ Sees only published content
* ❌ Cannot see drafts or private content

Security: Authorization codes are one-time use (10 min expiry). Access tokens expire after 1 hour. Refresh tokens valid for 30 days. PKCE ensures tokens can’t be stolen.

⚙️ Admin Settings

Configure the plugin at AI Connect → Settings:

Translation Provider:

• AI Self-Translate (default) – The AI agent handles translation on its own; no translation tools appear in the manifest
• MyMemory API – Plugin calls MyMemory and returns translated text; translation.translate and translation.getSupportedLanguages tools are added to the manifest
• Disabled – Translation tools are hidden from the manifest entirely

Rate Limiting:

• Default: 50 requests per minute, 1,000 per hour (per user)
• Adjust both values in AI Connect → Settings

🔐 Admin Controls

For Site Administrators:

Manage security from the WordPress admin panel:

• Revoke OAuth Tokens – Go to AI Connect → OAuth Tokens to view and revoke active tokens
• Block Users – Go to AI Connect → Settings → scroll to “Manage User Access” section
• Rate Limits – Configure request limits in AI Connect → Settings (default: 50/min, 1000/hour)

Troubleshooting

Missing Dependencies Error

Symptoms:
* Red error notice in WordPress admin
* Plugin appears active but doesn’t work
* REST API endpoints return 404

Solutions:

1. Download complete plugin (Recommended)

   • Get the full ZIP with dependencies from GitHub Releases
   • Delete the incomplete plugin folder
   • Upload and activate the complete version

2. Manual composer install (Advanced)

   • SSH into your server
   • Run: cd /path/to/wp-content/plugins/goldt-webmcp-bridge && composer install --no-dev

Common causes:
* exec() function disabled on server
* Composer not available on shared hosting
* Plugin directory not writable

How to diagnose:
* Go to AI Connect → Settings in WordPress admin
* Check the “Environment Status” table
* Look for red ✗ marks showing the exact issue

Database Tables Missing Error

Symptoms:
* Red error notice: “OAuth database tables were not created”
* OAuth authorization fails

Solution:
1. Deactivate the plugin
2. Reactivate the plugin
3. Check AI Connect → Settings to verify “OAuth Tables: ✓ Created”

If problem persists:
* Your database user may not have CREATE TABLE permissions
* Contact your hosting provider or check wp-config.php

OAuth Authorization Fails

Symptoms:
* Clicking “Authorize” button does nothing
* Redirect loop during OAuth flow
* “invalid_client” or “invalid_request” errors

Solutions:

1. Clear WordPress rewrite rules:

   • Go to Settings → Permalinks
   • Click “Save Changes” (flushes rewrite rules)

2. Verify OAuth tables exist:

   • Go to AI Connect → Settings
   • Check “OAuth Tables: ✓ Created”

3. Verify client exists:

   • Default clients (claude-ai, chatgpt, etc.) are auto-created
   • If missing, deactivate and reactivate plugin

REST API Returns 404

Symptoms:
* /api/aiconnect-manifest returns 404
* Tools API calls fail with 404

Solutions:

1. Flush permalinks:

   • Go to Settings → Permalinks
   • Click “Save Changes”

2. Reactivate plugin:

   • Go to Plugins page
   • Deactivate and reactivate “Goldnat AI Connect for WordPress”

3. Check WordPress REST API:

   • Visit: http://yoursite.com/wp-json/
   • If this also returns 404, your REST API is disabled or blocked
   • Check for conflicting security plugins
   • Review .htaccess rules

Still Having Issues?

Before asking for help, gather this information:

1. Go to AI Connect → Settings
2. Take screenshot of “Environment Status” table
3. Check browser console for errors (F12 → Console)
4. Check WordPress debug log (if enabled)

External Services

This plugin optionally uses the MyMemory Translation API when the “Translation Provider” setting is set to “MyMemory API” in the plugin settings.

MyMemory API

• What it is: A free machine translation service
• When it is used: Only when an AI agent calls the translation.translate tool AND the plugin settings have “MyMemory API” selected as the translation provider
• What data is sent: The text to be translated and the target/source language codes
• Default: Disabled by default. The default provider is “AI Self-Translate” (no external requests)
• Terms of Service: https://mymemory.translated.net/terms-and-conditions
• Privacy Policy: https://mymemory.translated.net/terms-and-conditions

If “MyMemory API” is not selected, no data is sent to any external service.

Privacy Policy

Goldnat AI Connect for WordPress does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data to external services. All API requests are handled locally on your WordPress installation.

Data stored locally:
* OAuth clients (pre-registered: claude-ai, chatgpt, gemini)
* OAuth authorization codes (temporary, 10 min expiry, one-time use)
* OAuth access tokens (temporary, 1 hour expiry)
* Rate limiting counters
* User blacklist (WordPress user IDs only)

No data leaves your WordPress installation. This applies when using the default settings. If you enable the MyMemory API translation provider, text content will be sent to mymemory.translated.net. See “External Services” section for details.
