Read-onlyDescription
Every user management workflow in Easy MCP AI starts here — listing your WordPress users so the AI client can find the correct account before promoting, updating, or removing it. Filter by role to pull all editors, search by email to locate a specific account, or page through the full roster to audit who has administrator access. Easy MCP AI returns the results directly to AI clients like Claude Desktop, Cursor, or GitHub Copilot, enabling the entire user management flow through conversation without the admin panel.
