DestructiveDescription
Keep your content properly categorized without ever opening the Classic or Block editor — just tell your AI which tags and categories belong on a post and Easy MCP AI applies them instantly. Whether you're bulk re-tagging old articles, reclassifying content after a rebrand, or letting Claude suggest and apply relevant tags as part of your publishing flow, this turns taxonomy housekeeping into a quick conversation. It works across categories, tags, product categories, and any custom taxonomy on your site. A simple append-or-replace toggle lets you decide whether new terms join the existing ones or overwrite them entirely, so you stay in control of every change.
