DestructiveDescription
Tags are the granular signal that connect related posts across categories, and Easy MCP AI lets your AI client mint new ones on the fly — name, slug, and description set in a single instruction, no admin panel required. When you're mid-session on a new topic series, the tag exists on your WordPress site by the time you draft the first post. Easy MCP AI's per-token tool permissions mean you can safely grant tag-creation rights to one AI client without exposing more powerful write tools.
