Get Global Settings is a WordPress ability from SureForms — usable via Easy MCP AI, which connects Claude, ChatGPT, and any AI assistant to your site.
Install Free Plugin →Get Global Settings
Read-onlyRead SureForms' global settings (general, validation messages, email summary, security) by category.
Requires the SureForms plugin on WordPress 6.9+ (the Abilities API is gated behind function_exists('wp_register_ability'), so it degrades gracefully on WP 6.4-6.8). Abilities only register when the 'srfm_abilities_api' option is enabled in SureForms' AI settings, and every ability requires the current user to have the 'manage_options' capability. Abilities that create or modify data additionally require the 'srfm_abilities_api_edit' option to not be explicitly disabled; abilities that permanently delete data additionally require 'srfm_abilities_api_delete' to not be explicitly disabled.
What it does
This ability reads SureForms' site-wide option groups, optionally scoped to one or more of four categories: general (IP logging, form analytics, admin notifications), validation-messages (the default per-field validation text), email-summary (weekly report toggle, recipient, schedule), and security (reCAPTCHA v2/v3, Cloudflare Turnstile, hCaptcha keys, and the honeypot toggle). Within the security category, only the secret-key fields for each captcha provider (not the public site-key fields, which are returned as-is) are masked with a fixed sentinel value ('@@SRFM_SECRET_UNCHANGED@@') before being returned, so real credentials are never exposed to the AI assistant. This lets an assistant audit or explain the site's current SureForms configuration without ever seeing live secrets.
