MCP/Abilities Overview
Saltus Framework exposes its AI-facing tool surface through WordPress-native MCP/Abilities. Native WordPress MCP clients can discover and call the saltus/* abilities directly from the active plugin.
Quick Start
Install and activate the plugin that uses Saltus Framework on a WordPress version with the Abilities API. Saltus registers its abilities during wp_abilities_api_init; clients that understand WordPress-native MCP/Abilities can discover the saltus/* tools from WordPress.
