Description

Your moderation queue, all spam awaiting review, or every comment on a specific post — Easy MCP AI gives AI clients a filtered view of your WordPress comment section without opening the dashboard. Filter by status (approved, pending, spam, or trash), narrow to a single post, or search by author, then chain into wp_update_comment or wp_delete_comment to act immediately. Easy MCP AI makes this the natural entry point for a fully conversational moderation workflow across any MCP-compatible AI client.
