Requires the wpDataTables plugin, which bundles the WordPress Abilities API and MCP Adapter libraries (composer package wordpress/mcp-adapter), so no specific WordPress core version beyond the plugin's own requirement (WordPress 4.0+) is needed. Every ability requires the current user to have the 'manage_options' capability. This is wpDataTables Lite (the free wordpress.org edition): create-chart only supports the google and chartjs engines, and table creation is limited to Simple (spreadsheet-style) tables — CSV/SQL/API-backed data sources and HighCharts/ApexCharts require a paid wpDataTables tier, which get-system-info and get-mcp-license-matrix report on.
