Masteriyo LMS Abilities

Masteriyo LMS exposes course authoring (courses, sections, lessons, quizzes, questions), the course/quiz builder trees, taxonomies, reviews, Q&A, enrollments, progress, orders, users and settings as abilities, letting AI build and manage an entire online course catalog directly.

Requires the Masteriyo LMS plugin on WordPress 6.9+ for the Abilities API — abilities are registered inside the wp_abilities_api_init hook and only when the wp_register_ability() function exists. Every ability is a thin proxy over Masteriyo's own REST controllers: its permission_callback synthesizes a WP_REST_Request and calls the controller's own *_permissions_check() method, so authorization exactly matches the REST API (typically the `edit_masteriyo_courses`, `manage_masteriyo_settings`, `read_course_qas`/`edit_course_qas`, or `edit_course_reviews` capability, or `manage_options`/`manage_masteriyo_settings` for settings). Three sensitive settings abilities (advanced, email, and payment settings updates) are registered with is_mcp_public() = false and are therefore not exposed by default; site owners can re-enable them via the masteriyo_ability_mcp_public filter.
