Read-onlyDescription
WordPress silently builds a version history every time a post is saved — and Easy MCP AI makes that history queryable from your AI client. Get a dated, author-attributed list of every revision for any post so you can pinpoint exactly when a change was made before diving into the full content of a specific version. It's the entry point for any revision-based workflow: audit, compare, recover, or clean up.
