Details

From the project README

wpgoldmine-mcp

An MCP server for finding WordPress plugin opportunities — large, established plugins weakened by abandonment, low ratings, or poor support, i.e. plugins you could realistically replace or out-build. It lets AI agents (Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.) query the WordPress.org plugin directory through the lens of "what's a takeable market here?"

Powered by wpgoldmine.io. All querying runs server-side, so no local database or scraping is required.

Install / run

// Claude Desktop / any MCP client config
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "wpgoldmine": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "wpgoldmine-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Tools

list_opportunity_presets

Lists the curated opportunity angles you can pass as preset (e.g. abandoned-plugins, low-rated-popular, beatable-niche, unsupported-plugins, high-opportunity, newest-opportunities).

find_plugin_opportunities

Returns a ranked, capped list of plugin opportunities.

ParamTypeDescription
presetstring (optional)A preset key. Composes with tag.
tagstring (optional)Narrow to a niche by WordPress.org tag, e.g. seo, forms, backup.
ecosystemwordpress | woocommerce (optional)Defaults to wordpress.
min_installs / max_installsnumber (optional)Active-install bounds.
max_ratingnumber (optional)Max rating on a 0–100 scale (lower = more dissatisfied users).
get_plugin

Opportunity snapshot for one plugin by slug: installs, rating, last-updated, support resolution, and opportunity / abandonment / monetization scores.

Example agent uses: "Find abandoned WordPress plugins in the forms niche I could rebuild," "Which popular SEO plugins have the worst ratings?", "Give me the opportunity score for wp-super-cache."

Config

  • WPGOLDMINE_API_KEY — optional. A WP Goldmine account API token (from your account settings) raises the result limit and unlocks extra fields. Without it, the server uses the free, capped tier.
  • WPGOLDMINE_API_BASE — override the API base (default https://wpgoldmine.io).

New to MCP?

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.

An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
