BackWPup Documentation Overview is a WordPress ability from BackWPup — usable via Easy MCP AI, which connects Claude, ChatGPT, and any AI assistant to your site.
Install Free Plugin →BackWPup Documentation Overview
Read-onlyReturns Markdown documentation describing the BackWPup MCP server's tools and recommended workflows.
Requires the BackWPup plugin on WordPress 6.9+ (each ability is guarded by a function_exists( 'wp_register_ability' ) check, so nothing registers on older cores). Individual abilities also require specific capabilities: 'backwpup' for listing jobs, reading backup history, reading the documentation resource; 'backwpup_jobs_start' for running or cancelling a backup job; and 'backwpup_logs' for reading backup logs.
What it does
This ability is registered as an MCP resource (URI groupone-backwpup-plugin://docs/overview) rather than an invocable tool with inputs. It returns a static Markdown document explaining each BackWPup ability — list-jobs, get-backup-history, run-job, cancel-job, and get-backup-logs — along with example conversational usage, proactive-backup guidance for risky WordPress operations, and the capability requirements for each tool. AI assistants can fetch this resource to learn how and when to use the other BackWPup abilities correctly.
