Description

Custom post types registered by plugins like WooCommerce or CPT UI change what your AI can create — Easy MCP AI exposes the full list of registered types so your AI client knows exactly which content handles are available before it tries to write or query anything. This orientation call is often the first thing a client like Cursor or Claude Code makes when connecting to an unfamiliar WordPress site. Easy MCP AI's 162-tool surface covers built-in and custom post types equally, treating every registered type as a first-class target.
