My Site Hand

AI Assistant, Site Health & MCP Server for WordPress.

46 WordPress capabilities exposed over the Model Context Protocol and the Abilities API, so a model can read, diagnose and act on a real site instead of guessing about one.

MCPAbilities APIPHPAI agents

46capabilities,
agent-operable
MCP ServerA full Model Context Protocol server inside the plugin — tools, resources and auth, spoken natively by any MCP client.
Site HealthDiagnostics an agent can read: plugin conflicts, stale updates, PHP notices, all returned as structured results.
AI AssistantA chat surface in wp-admin wired to the same capability layer, so the assistant acts on the site rather than describing it.
Abilities APIEvery action registered through WordPress’s own Abilities API — discoverable, permission-checked, and future-proof.

Eight products, 50,000+ sites, and one developer answering for all of it — from the block editor to the forum reply.

02About

I don’t wait to be the right person for the job.

I picked up React because a spec needed a Gutenberg block, PHP because a bug report needed it, and the Model Context Protocol because nobody had built the thing I wanted yet. That’s the shape of every skill on my CV — a spec needed it, so I learned it.

At bPlugins I own the whole lifecycle: block architecture, PHP backend, admin UI, security patches, docs, releases, and the forum thread that follows. A rating goes up or down. An install count moves. That’s the part I like.

Learn it, then ship itReact, PHP 8, the Block API, MCP — each started as a spec for something I hadn’t done yet.

Worked with Tanin on the same team
July 27, 20261/2

“I highly recommend Tanin as a Full-Stack WordPress Developer. Working with him at bPlugins has been a great experience. Tanin is an extremely dedicated developer who excels at analyzing user needs, competitor products, and complex technical requirements before writing a single line of code. He takes full ownership of his work, managing everything from initial feature research. His strong analytical mindset allows him to solve tough technical problems independently and ship high-quality products without needing step-by-step guidance. He would be a fantastic asset to any engineering team!”
