Read-onlyShow your AI every custom field on your site, no admin panel needed
Requires ACF or Secure Custom Fields (SCF). Field groups must have Show in REST API enabled in ACF settings.
Description
If you use Advanced Custom Fields, this is how you get your AI up to speed on your site's custom field setup without digging through the admin panel. Ask Claude to list your field groups and it sees exactly what custom fields exist, what they're labeled, and what kind of data each one holds. That makes it the natural first step before having your AI read or update any custom field content — it knows the lay of the land first, so the edits that follow are accurate. Requires the ACF (or Secure Custom Fields) plugin with REST API access enabled on your field groups.
